- Responding to and resolving data ingestion tickets from global markets
- Collaborating with analysts, data scientists, and business partners to understand data requirements
- Implementing data quality, monitoring, and reliability practices
- Leveraging modern developer tools, including AIโassisted coding tools, to improve efficiency
- Contributing to governance activities such as metadata management, tagging, and lineage tracking
This role balances headsโdown engineering work with collaboration and crossโfunctional problem solving.
Required Qualifications:
- 2+ years of handsโon experience as a Data Engineer or similar role
- Bachelorโs degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, or a related technical field (or 5+ years of equivalent experience)
- Advanced proficiency in SQL, including query optimization and data modeling
- Strong programming experience in Python for data pipelines and automation
- Experience designing and building ETL/ELT pipelines for enterprise data platforms
- Handsโon experience with at least one cloud platform (GCP preferred; AWS or Azure acceptable)
- Experience with distributed or bigโdata processing frameworks (e.g., Spark, Beam, Hadoop)
Skills to Be Successful in the Role:
- Familiarity with Google Cloud Platform services such as BigQuery, Dataflow, or Dataplex.
- Experience with modern data warehousing concepts (partitioning, clustering, performance tuning).
- Exposure to orchestration tools (Airflow / Cloud Composer or similar).
- Understanding of streaming or eventโdriven data architectures (Pub/Sub, Kafka)
- Knowledge of data governance practices including metadata, lineage, and quality checks.
- Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments.
- Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate with technical and nonโtechnical partners.
- Comfort navigating ambiguity and learning complex enterprise data ecosystems quickly.
