Senior Data Engineer

This is a remote position.

Responsibilities:

• Own data pipeline development: Design, develop, and maintain reliable ETL/ELT pipelines for ingesting, transforming, and delivering large-scale datasets across multiple platforms and sources.

• Lead technical design: Define processing logic, data models, integration approaches, and workflow dependencies, considering scalability, maintainability, security, and cost.

• Develop and optimize data processing: Write efficient SQL, Hive queries, and Python code. Apply distributed processing frameworks such as Spark where appropriate.

• Build and manage AWS workflows: Develop and support data solutions using Amazon S3, Athena, EC2, and EMR, including monitoring and resource optimization.

• Manage workflow orchestration: Build and maintain automated workflows using Apache Airflow or comparable orchestration tools, including scheduling, dependencies, retries, alerting, and recovery.

• Ensure production reliability: Monitor pipeline performance and data freshness, investigate failures, perform root cause analysis, and implement improvements that prevent recurring issues.

• Maintain data quality and governance: Establish validation checks, reconciliation processes, lineage documentation, and appropriate access controls throughout the data lifecycle.

• Lead and mentor a small team: Guide 2-3 engineers, break requirements into actionable tasks, review code and designs, support troubleshooting, and track delivery commitments.

• Collaborate with stakeholders: Work closely with analytics, product, engineering, and data science teams to clarify requirements, agree on priorities, communicate progress, and manage dependencies.

• Maintain technical documentation: Create and update solution designs, data flow diagrams, data dictionaries, operating procedures, and support runbooks using Confluence or similar platforms.

• Apply AI to engineering workflows: Identify practical opportunities to use AI for development, documentation, troubleshooting, and automation. Build simple AI agents and validate their outputs before operational use.

• Support agile delivery: Manage work through Jira, contribute to sprint planning and technical reviews, and coordinate across regions and work schedules as required.
