Position Summary
The ES Office of Data (ES OOD) is the strategic data foundation for Salesforce's Global Employee Success (ES) Operations - championing trusted employee data, unified governance, HRIS security, and AI-ready data foundations that power seamless, intelligent hire-to-retire experiences.
We are seeking a self-driven ES Data Ops Engineer & Strategist within the ES Office of Data - to establish and scale the data foundations specifically for our HR Operations team. This is a unique role designed for a data professional who loves building foundational structures, automating quality checks, and driving operational excellence.

* Develop and maintain operational data pipelines using clean, production-grade SQL and Python to apply HR business logic and transform raw data into action-ready datasets
* Build and support secure data connections, webhooks, and APIs to sync operational data across internal HR platforms and tools (e.g., ticketing systems, HRIS)
* Transition the team from reactive manual auditing to proactive, automated continuous monitoring - designing and deploying data quality scripts and scheduled test suites that instantly flag anomalies, missing fields, or logic violations in incoming HR operational data
* Maintain, monitor, and optimize HR data pipelines and workflows - proactively identifying bottlenecks, automating manual steps, and establishing rigorous SLAs for data freshness and uptime
* Enforce strict data security boundaries, ensuring localized operational data views comply with global PII regulations, data masking standards, and confidentiality protocols
* Partner closely with the core HR Data Product Engineering team to align with broader corporate data architectures, ensure governance compliance, and smoothly ingest upstream core datasets
* Act as the technical bridge across the ES Office of Data pillars-collaborating with Data Governance to embed security rules into pipelines, engineering the high-performance upstream data layers that fuel HRIS Reporting, and translating Data Program Strategy and Ops roadmaps into automated technical solutions.

Required Skills & Experience

* 4-6 years of experience in data operations, data engineering, or a highly technical business intelligence role
* Experience modeling complex operational workflows (e.g., ticketing, customer support, case management) into structured analytics tables
* Proven experience building data validation, monitoring, and automated testing setups (e.g., dbt tests or custom Python validation scripts)
* Strong SQL and Python proficiency for automated workflows and data transformations
* Solid understanding of data schemas, dimensional modeling, and structuring data for high-performance operational reporting
* Familiarity with cloud data platforms (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery), orchestration tools (e.g., Airflow), and integrating data via REST APIs
* Working knowledge of data privacy standards and PII handling practices (e.g., data masking, access controls)
