About Neticca:

Neticca is a technology and data consulting company. We help growing companies solve demanding engineering and data problems, from large-scale data migrations to streaming platforms and applied AI. Our engineers work closely with client teams, supported by Neticca's delivery standards, mentorship, and Center of Excellence.

About the Engagement:

We are building out the delivery team for a long-term data engineering engagement centered on large data volumes and data migrations . We're hiring a Senior Backend Engineer to own the design and delivery of Java and Python systems on AWS , working alongside the client's engineers and holding a high bar on code quality and review.

We expect disciplined use of AI coding tools: you design first, test in a structured way, and verify every output. Our selection process is rigorous. It includes a recorded video screen followed by several technical conversations with senior engineers.

What You'll Deliver:

- Production Java services and Python data pipelines that handle large data volumes reliably
- Data migrations from plan to cutover: scoping, validation, and rollback
- Streaming and batch workflows on AWS (S3, Kinesis, DynamoDB) and Kafka
- High-quality code reviews that improve design, not just style
- AI-assisted development done with discipline: design first, structured testing, line-by-line review of AI output, and cross-checking between tools
- Work driven by clear acceptance criteria, with tests written first or alongside the code ( TDD / BDD )
- Clear written and spoken explanations of technical trade-offs to the team

Must-Have Qualifications:





- 5+ years of professional software or data engineering experience, shipping and supporting production systems
- Hands-on Java experience in production (required)
- Strong Python skills with Pandas and related data libraries
- Hands-on AWS experience using boto3 , including S3 and at least one of Kinesis or DynamoDB
- Experience with a streaming platform such as Kafka (or Kinesis) in a production setting
- Solid SQL and working knowledge of JSON and Parquet data formats
- Experience with large data volumes or data migrations , and the ability to explain the design trade-offs
- A real code review habit: you review carefully and can show examples
- Disciplined use of AI coding tools : you verify, test, and cross-check AI output rather than accepting it by default
- Working experience with TDD / BDD and writing code against acceptance criteria
- Excellent spoken and written English ; you will be interviewed by several senior engineers
- Based in Latin America or Mexico and available during US Eastern (EST) business hours (mandatory)

Nice to Have:

- Experience with Apache Flink or other stream-processing and OLAP tools
- Experience with StarRocks
- Experience building, monitoring, and fixing AI agents to get the behavior you want
- Experience working in a distributed team with US hours overlap
- Familiarity with Jira or Rally in an agile team
