Duration: 6 Months Contract

About BigRio:


BigRio is a remote-based, technology consulting firm with headquarters in Boston, MA. We deliver software solutions ranging from custom development and software implementation to data analytics and machine learning/AI integrations. As a one-stop shop, we attract clients from a variety of industries due to our proven ability to deliver cutting-edge, cost-effective software solutions.

Job Overview:


We are seeking a Senior PySpark Engineer with strong hands-on experience in building distributed data pipelines using Apache Spark on AWS EMR . The ideal candidate is proficient in Python , has worked with Databricks , and has a solid understanding of GxP-compliant environments. This is a coding-heavy role - not DevOps or AWS administration - where you'll contribute directly to the architecture and development of robust data solutions in a highly regulated, cloud-native environment.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design, develop, and maintain distributed ETL data pipelines using PySpark on AWS EMR
  • Work within a GxP-compliant environment, ensuring data integrity and regulatory alignment
  • Write clean, scalable, and efficient PySpark code for large-scale data processing
  • Utilize AWS cloud services for pipeline orchestration, compute, and storage
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to deliver end-to-end data solutions
  • Participate in code reviews, testing, and deployment of pipeline components
  • Ensure performance optimization, fault tolerance, and scalability of data workflows
Required Qualifications:
  • 8-10 years of experience in software or data engineering with a focus on distributed systems
  • Deep hands-on experience with Apache Spark , PySpark , and AWS (especially EMR)
  • Experience building pipelines using Databricks is a strong plus
  • Strong programming skills in Python
  • Solid understanding of cloud-native architectures
  • Familiarity with GxP compliance and working in regulated data environments
  • Proven ability to independently design and develop data pipelines (not a DevOps/AWS admin role)
  • Experience with distributed computing and high-volume ETL pipelines
