Sr. Data Engineer

MegazoneCloud

Rochester, NY • On-site

$145K - $165K/yr

Full-time

Re-posted 16 days ago


Key responsibilities

  • Architect, build, and own scalable, high-performance data platforms and pipelines on AWS.

  • Drive the strategy for the data environment by creating efficient data models using Databricks and/or Snowflake.

  • Develop, review, and set standards for clean, optimized, and automated code using Python and SQL.


Job description

Who We're Looking For
Megazone Cloud is looking for a Senior Data Engineer to help lead and define our data-driven culture. You are a "builder" at heart, a seasoned expert who thrives on solving complex problems. You have a startup mentality, a thirst for knowledge, and the ability to lead projects and mentor others. You have deep expertise in data architecture, data wrangling, Databricks or Snowflake, and are a master of Python, SQL, and AWS.
What You'll Do
  • Architect, build, and lead: Architect and own scalable, high-performance data platforms and pipelines on AWS, not just maintain them.
  • Define the data ecosystem: Drive the strategy for our data environment, leveraging Databricks and/or Snowflake to create powerful, efficient data models.
  • Write and review critical code: Develop clean, optimized, and automated solutions using Python and SQL. Set the standard for code quality and mentor junior engineers.
  • Collaborate and multiply: Act as a key "force multiplier" within our cross-functional teams, leading ambiguous projects from conception to delivery.
  • Be a flexible leader: Embrace a "builder" mentality. In a startup, you'll have the flexibility to solve diverse challenges, and your voice will be critical in shaping our technical roadmap.
What You Bring (Requirements)
  • 5-8+ years of professional data engineering experience.
  • Deep, expert-level proficiency with Python.
  • Deep, expert-level proficiency with SQL.
  • Hands-on, expert-level experience with Databricks OR Snowflake (certifications or experience with both is a huge plus).
  • Expert-level experience building and managing data solutions on AWS.
  • Deep expertise in designing and architecting scalable data platforms.
  • Proven ability to lead complex, ambiguous projects from conception to delivery.
  • Experience mentoring other engineers and helping to level up the team.
  • A "builder" mindset, a startup mentality, and a genuine thirst for knowledge.
  • Exceptional communication skills and the flexibility to think fast.
Bonus Points (Nice-to-Haves)
  • Experience with GenAI, AI/ML frameworks, and MLOps.
  • Certifications in Databricks, Snowflake, or AWS.
Why You'll Love It Here
  • Our Product is Our People: We live by this. We invest in people who invest in themselves. Your growth is our growth.
  • True Servant Leadership: Our CTO leads with a "force multiplier" philosophy. Management is here to empower you and clear roadblocks, not to micromanage. We won't ask you to do anything we're not willing to do ourselves.
  • Flat Organization, Real Impact: Your voice and designs will directly shape our technical roadmap and our clients' success. You'll work on the latest tech to solve real problems.
  • A "Learn-from-it" Culture: We're moving fast and building new things. We believe mistakes are learning opportunities, not failures.

We seek diverse talent who are ready to make an immediate impact. We believe that innovation thrives when teams are built with a variety of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. If you are excited by this mission, we encourage you to apply, even if your experience doesn't perfectly match every qualification listed.
