  • Supervise and maintain the shared services that redesign the data processing pipelines and our data warehouse
  • Develop a cross functional Disaster Recovery and a Business Continuity Plan for the Client X data footprint
  • Engage with internal business stakeholders of all levels across the business, consult with them, and provide guidance for delivering and turning data into actionable information
  • Build a data engineering team to scale these efforts across the company

  • 10+ years experience; or equivalent combination of post-bachelor’s education and experience
  • Proven experience as a data engineering lead and/or management role
  • Motivated self-starter who can manage and prioritize multiple projects simultaneously with a positive, can-do attitude.
  • Strong data analysis and problem-solving skills with a willingness to roll up one’s sleeves to get the job done.
  • Ability to build and maintain strong relationships with business users, software developers, other cross-functional co-workers, and outside partners.
  • Proficiency in SQL is required; python and java is preferred
  • Ability to translate between technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Experience with hybrid (cloud/on-premise) data topologies is a must
  • Experience designing data lake and data warehouse architectures, preferably using modern cloud solutions
  • Hands-on experience implementing data transformation (ETL/ELT, etc.) best practices at scale, preferably using modern cloud solutions
  • Have a deep understanding of SQL and database architecture
