Develop data pipelines with Fivetran, Snowflake & Airflow using languages such as Python, SQL & Javascript

Provide thought leadership and contribute to the vision of our data engineering function 

Participate in team processes such as on-call rotations, bug triage, technical direction, standards, and execution 

Own delivery architecture/execution of major component(s) from conception to release

Looked up to for technical mentorship within the data engineering team. Make others better through code reviews, focus on documentation, and technical guidance

Understand the tradeoffs between technical and business needs, interact and negotiate with key stakeholders, and deliver solutions that take all of these needs into account 

Regularly take complex designs / codebases and simplify them without being asked

Work closely with leadership to drive adoption of the latest DevOps and DataOps trends and technologies.

The skills you’ll bring include:

5+ years of hands-on software engineering experience 

4+ years working with a major cloud provider (preferably AWS); Experience building/maintaining VPC’s and deploying code using Terraform is a must

3+ years building and maintaining hosted environments and applications using EKS or another container service is a must

5+ years of experience in at least one programming language such as Python, Java, Scala is required (Python is our most commonly used language); Advanced SQL expertise is required

Experience working in a modern lakehouse is required (Snowflake is preferred); Modern warehousing best practices should be second nature

Cloud experience is required (AWS is strongly preferred); Terraform is highly preferred

Knowledge and ideally hands on experience working with container services is required (ECS, Kubernetes, etc)

Experience working in a mature SDLC environment (ie: CICD) is required 

Modern tech stack experience is a plus (dbt, Fivetran, Snowflake. Airflow)

Experience as a leader within a data engineering team and ability to mentor teammates 

Strong work ethic, resiliency, persistence, and urgency; Data Engineering holds itself to a high standard so you’ll need to keep up

Sharp business and interpersonal skills; ability to influence at senior levels across business units to drive change and achieve common goals

BS or MS in Computer Science, Analytics, Statistics, Informatics, Information Systems or
another quantitative field or equivalent experience
