Create and manage synthetic and derived features to support AI and analytics use cases.
Ensure data quality, consistency, and lineage across all pipeline stages.
Systems Integration And Modernization:
Connect legacy systems and databases with modern cloud-based platforms (e.g., Snowflake, Databricks, AWS).
Engineer real‑time and batch data flows, including support for streaming data where appropriate (e.g., Kafka, Kinesis).
Partner with IT to improve access to core systems and modernize data interfaces.
Data Governance And Reliability:
Implement monitoring, validation, and observability frameworks for data flows.
Ensure compliance with data privacy, retention, and security policies.
Maintain documentation for data sources, transformations, and pipeline dependencies.
Collaboration And Enablement:
Work closely with data scientists and analysts to translate business and model requirements into engineered datasets.
Create reusable data assets and modular pipelines to support experimentation and production deployment.
Contribute to team standards for code quality, version control, and DevOps practices.
Qualifications
Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
4+ years of experience in data engineering or software development with a focus on data.
Proficient in SQL and Python (or Scala) for developing data workflows and transformations.
Hands‑on experience with cloud data platforms (e.g., Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Redshift).
Experience with orchestration tools (e.g., Airflow, Prefect, Dagster) and CI/CD pipelines.
Solid understanding of data warehousing concepts, schema design, and performance optimization.
Ability to work with structured and unstructured data across batch and streaming paradigms.
