Senior Software Development Engineer (Amazon)

Job Description

Our EBMS Real-Time Data Platform team is looking for a Software Development Engineer

with hands-on experience in Apache Flink, Amazon Kinesis, and Java to build and maintain

our real-time BMS data pipeline that ingests telemetry from thousands of global building

management systems. The engineer will be responsible for the full lifecycle of stream-

processing applications; from design and development through deployment and production

operations with a focus on delivering 99% system uptime, comprehensive observability, and

fault-tolerant architecture.

Primary Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and optimize Apache Flink stream-processing applications for real-

time BMS data ingestion, transformation, and enrichment.

• Build and maintain Amazon Kinesis Data Streams infrastructure including shard

management, auto-scaling policies, and dead-letter queues.

• Implement comprehensive observability: CloudWatch/Grafana dashboards,

distributed tracing, structured logging, and tiered alerting (P1/P2/P3) across the full

pipeline.

• Troubleshoot and resolve production issues across the ingestion-to-serving stack

(Kinesis, Flink, DynamoDB, S3, Athena)

• Develop and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code (CDK/CloudFormation) for all pipeline

components, ensuring repeatable and auditable deployments.

• Implement data quality monitoring including record count validation, schema drift

detection, and null-rate anomaly detection across all sites.

(Spark Streaming, Kafka Streams).

• Experience with Amazon Kinesis Data Streams or similar distributed

messaging/streaming platform.

• Demonstrated experience building and operating systems with 99%+ uptime SLAs.

semantics, checkpointing, backpressure management.

• Experience with AWS services: DynamoDB, S3, Athena, CloudWatch, IAM.

• Proficiency with Infrastructure-as-Code (CDK, CloudFormation, or Terraform).

Preferred:

• Experience with MQTT, Haystack protocol, or Niagara N4 (building automation / IoT).

management tools.

• Experience with Grafana, CloudWatch Logs Insights, or distributed tracing
