## Role Summary

The Data Engineer, Operations Analytics builds the data platform, pipelines, data standards, and quality controls that make the team’s data reliable. Working alongside the Data Scientist, this role owns the data from the agreed handoff point through to curated, analysis-ready tables. The role reports to the Director, Operations Analytics.

This role partners closely with the Data Scientist, IT, vendor partners, Operations, and Compliance to make sure reliable data is in place before the first turnkey solution in mid-2027, which will add new data sources and users.

- Design, build, test, and monitor production pipelines for power, cooling, equipment, and monitoring data, and scale them as new data sources and users come online
- Define and maintain a reference data standard and data dictionary, including consistent naming for sites, assets, equipment, and vendors, documented so new team members can onboard quickly
- Build data quality checks, monitoring, alerts, and runbooks so issues are detected and resolved quickly
- Publish and maintain curated tables that serve models, Tableau scorecards, and KPIs so every report and model draws on the same trusted data
- Partner with the Data Scientist to build and maintain Genie spaces and LLM-powered tools, including the curated tables, metadata, table and column descriptions, and certified queries they depend on
- Prepare and maintain data for AI and language model use cases, such as document and text ingestion, vector search indexes, and retrieval pipelines, held to the same quality and change control standards as other production data
- Serve as second owner of the Databricks workspace and co-own change control with the Data Scientist, including code review and separate development and production environments
- Partner with the Data Scientist, Operations, Reliability, Engineering, and IT teams, and with the Reporting Lead and Business Analysts as they join, to align data structures with modeling, reporting, and operational needs
- Create repeatable exports of platform evidence, such as access and activity logs, to support audits and the Compliance Analyst
