- Propose and implement data engineering standards for testing, deployment, security, and cost management within the agreed enterprise architecture.

What success looks like In your first several months, you will assess existing pipelines, establish repeatable engineering practices, and deliver production datasets for priority reporting needs. You will put initial quality controls and monitoring in place and demonstrate that historical source corrections are reflected accurately in downstream reporting.

Required qualifications

- 5+ years of data engineering experience, including ownership of production pipelines.
- Advanced SQL and strong Python skills.
- Production BigQuery experience, including partitioning, clustering, query performance, and cost management.
- Experience with data transformation and orchestration tools such as dbt, Airflow, Cloud Composer, Dagster, or equivalents.
- Experience extracting from operational databases and handling incremental loads, updates, deletes, backfills, and historical corrections.
- Strong understanding of dimensional modeling and historical data tracking.
- Experience with automated data quality checks, reconciliation, monitoring, alerting, and recovery.
- Experience with Git, code review, automated testing, and CI/CD.
- Ability to work across Engineering, analytics, and business teams.

## Preferred qualifications

- Experience with MySQL, ClickHouse, Kafka, or Google Pub/Sub.
- Familiarity with Parquet, storage efficiency, and Spark or PySpark.
- Ability to trace data definitions and business logic through application code or an ORM; familiarity with PHP is a plus.
- Experience with Salesforce, NetSuite, Power BI, or comparable systems.
- Familiarity with IAM, service accounts, least-privilege access, and secure workload authentication.
- Experience with metadata, lineage, or data observability tools.
- Experience applying AI or automation to pipeline operations, incident investigation, or governed data access for LLM applications.
- Experience in cloud infrastructure, telecommunications, data centers, or another asset-intensive environment.

Our environment Our data environment includes Google BigQuery, MySQL, ClickHouse, Kafka, Python, Power BI, Salesforce, and NetSuite. Engineering also stores some Prometheus-format metrics in Grafana Mimir and ingests them into ClickHouse. This role will partner with Engineering to bring relevant product data into governed enterprise datasets and help standardize how those datasets are transformed, tested, and operated.
