What does a junior data engineer do?

A Junior Data Engineer typically assists in designing, building, and maintaining data pipelines and databases to support analytics and business needs. They work with large datasets, ensuring data is collected, stored, and processed efficiently and accurately. Responsibilities often include data cleaning, ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes, and collaborating with data analysts and other engineers. Junior Data Engineers are usually early in their careers and work under the guidance of more experienced data engineers while developing their technical and problem-solving skills.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a junior data engineer?

To thrive as a Junior Data Engineer, you need a solid understanding of data structures, SQL, and programming languages like Python or Java, often supported by a degree in computer science or a related field. Familiarity with ETL tools, cloud platforms (such as AWS or Azure), and data warehousing solutions is typically required. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective communication help you excel in team environments and manage complex data workflows. These skills ensure you can reliably build, maintain, and optimize data pipelines that support organizational decision-making.

What are some typical challenges a junior data engineer may face when starting out, and how can they overcome them?

As a Junior Data Engineer, one common challenge is adapting to complex data infrastructure and unfamiliar tools or frameworks. You may also find it challenging to ensure data quality and consistency while working with large datasets. Collaborating closely with senior engineers and asking questions is key to overcoming these hurdles. Taking advantage of onboarding resources, documentation, and code reviews will help you learn best practices and improve your skills quickly. Embracing continuous learning and seeking feedback will set you up for long-term growth in data engineering.

Work you'll do

As a Lead Palantir FDE, you will serve as the senior practitioner-leader embedded directly with our most strategic clients, leading forward-deployed engineering pods that develop and deploy GenAI solutions into production for Deloitte's most strategic clients. You'll set technical direction, remove delivery blockers, and stay hands-on; designing, reviewing, and debugging systems with the team. You'll translate engineering trade-offs into clear decisions for client leaders when needed. Your ability to influence decisions at the C-suite level, while maintaining hands-on technical credibility, is what sets you apart. Pods under your leadership may be deployed onshore with clients or in hybrid onshore/offshore configurations, leveraging Deloitte's global delivery capability to maximize speed and scale.

Client Engagement

  • Serve as the senior client-facing presence, building trusted advisor relationships as the senior engineering partner for client product, data, and platform leaders
  • Lead executive-level discovery, define success metrics (quality, latency, cost, adoption, risk) and a phased plan from prototype to production and scaling
  • Navigate organizational complexity and influence to align executive sponsors, IT leadership, and business owners around a shared vision
  • Represent Deloitte's FDE capability in client pursuits, executive briefings, and platform partner engagements-contributing to pipeline development and deal shaping.

Cross-Functional Pod Leadership & Program Governance

  • Lead FDE pods of 2-5 onshore anchored and offshore supported engineers, owning execution, resource management, escalations and overall delivery health
  • Enforce delivery standards across the pod: sprint cadences, stakeholder communication plans, risk management, and quality gates
  • Coordinate multi-pod or multi-workstream engagements, ensuring reliable architecture and consistent client experience.
  • Mentor and develop junior FDEs

GenAI Solution Development

  • Architect and oversee delivery of LLM-enabled applications including copilots, agentic workflows, assistants, and knowledge search experiences using one or more enterprise AI platforms (see Platform Requirements below)
  • Set direction for prompt engineering, tool-use patterns, and human-in-the-loop controls
  • Govern end-to-end RAG pipeline design-including ingestion, chunking, embedding, vector retrieval, and hybrid search-ensuring production-grade quality and scalability.
  • Define evaluation frameworks covering quality, hallucination risk, safety, latency, cost, and governance; ensure the pod meets agreed engineering quality bars to these standards.

Engineering & Data Foundations

  • Review and contribute to production-quality code
  • Guide architecture of data pipelines powering GenAI use cases
  • Enforce strong data management, testing, CI/CD, logging, versioning, and documentation practices
  • Deep familiarity with cloud environments (AWS, Azure, and/or Google Cloud)
