  • Identify and evaluate emerging technologies, tools, and trends to improve efficiency and effectiveness in data engineering processes.

Requirements:

  • 10+ years of experience as a data engineer, working with data warehouses, pipelines and cloud technologies (ideally AWS)

  • Proficient in data modeling and architecture for distributed data warehouses and cloud solutions, with deep knowledge of the trade-offs between data warehouses, databases, and data lakes to guide informed decisions on when to use each

  • Skilled in crafting modern data pipelines, both real-time and batch, with tight SLOs and complex transformations, utilizing messaging, serverless, and streaming tech

  • Expert-level SQL; experience with other database paradigms (key-value stores, graph databases) is a plus

  • Expert-level python; comfort working with version control and CI/CD is required; significant exposure to other languages is a plus

  • Experience mentoring engineers, especially on data warehousing, pipelines, and related technology architectures, with a proven ability to simplify complex topics in both written and verbal communication

  • Strong comfort level with technical project leadership and the communication skills to bring stakeholders together around a project plan and architecture, demonstrated by successful large-scale projects spanning multiple teams

  • Product mindset to embrace business needs and produce scalable data/engineering solutions
