- Partner cross-functionally with Data Science, Product, and Engineering to expand how data is understood and used across the organization
- Mentor junior and mid-level engineers, shaping team standards and driving a culture of technical quality
- Evaluate and adopt emerging data tools and methodologies to improve team velocity and platform capability
What you'll bring
- 4+ years of experience in data engineering or a closely related software engineering discipline
- Expert-level SQL/TSQL skills and deep experience with query optimization and data storage
- Proficiency in Python for pipeline and application development
- Hands-on experience with columnar databases and cloud-native platforms such as Snowflake, Amazon Redshift, or Databricks
- Experience designing ETL/ELT workflows and dimensional data models (Kimball methodology is a strong plus)
- A track record of writing well-tested, production-grade code and working within Agile delivery frameworks
- Clear communication skills, with the ability to explain complex data decisions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Nice to have
- 7+ years of experience in data engineering or software engineering with a data focus
- Experience with modern data platform tooling such as dbt, Airflow, or Spark
- Familiarity with real-time streaming platforms (Kafka, Kinesis) or serverless query solutions (Athena, Redshift Spectrum)
- Experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), REST APIs, or AWS services such as Lambda, SNS, or SQS
