Job description

Job Title: Principal Data Compliance Engineer (Utility Infrastructure)
Role Overview
We are seeking a high-level Principal Data Compliance Engineer to lead the development of mission-critical, auditable data pipelines supporting state and federal regulatory reporting. In this role, you will be responsible for building robust data validation frameworks and ensuring that large-scale datasets meet strict compliance standards for reproducibility and lineage. You will act as a bridge between technical engineering and regulatory subject matter experts, creating the "Gold Standard" for traceable data outputs in a highly scrutinized utility environment.
Key Responsibilities
• Pipeline Architecture: Design and maintain advanced, platform-native data pipelines specifically for regulatory compliance reporting.
• Validation Frameworks: Build and oversee automated data checker and validation frameworks to ensure completeness, consistency, and reconciliation across large-scale datasets.
• Advanced Transformations: Develop high-performance transformations using PySpark and Spark SQL to process and curate complex infrastructure and asset-based data.
• Audit & Traceability: Implement rigorous data lineage and reproducibility protocols to ensure all outputs are "audit-ready" and meet government regulatory standards.
• Logic Validation: Partner with Compliance SMEs and stakeholders to translate complex legal and safety requirements into precise technical validation logic.
• Operational Integrity: Lead operational monitoring, issue triage, and data quality remediation to maintain the integrity of compliance datasets.
Qualifications & Requirements
• Technical Mastery:
• Expert-level Python, PySpark, and Spark SQL.
• Hands-on experience with enterprise-grade data platforms (e.g., Palantir Foundry or similar high-lineage environments).
• Proven track record building Data Quality (DQ), QA, or automated validation frameworks.
• Industry Knowledge:
• Deep understanding of compliance, audit, or regulatory reporting requirements.
• Experience with Ontology-driven or curated datasets.
• Attributes: Strong analytical mindset with the ability to ensure full data reconciliation and exception flag management in a high-stakes environment.
Preferred Credentials
• Prior experience with utility-specific regulatory compliance (e.g., OEIS or similar safety infrastructure reporting).
• Experience with specialized platform application builders (e.g., Foundry Workshop).
• Background in asset-based domains or utility infrastructure.
