Junior Python Developer Jobs in Claremore, OK (NOW HIRING)

Job Summary:
Koch Engineered Solutions is seeking a Data Engineer to join their Information Technology team in Wichita, KS. The role involves owning data products, building and maintaining ELT pipelines, and collaborating with business stakeholders to ensure accurate data representation and quality.
Responsibilities:
• Own data products end-to-end — from understanding the business problem, through source system assessment and data modeling, to production pipeline implementation in dbt and Snowflake
• Build and maintain ELT pipelines following established engineering patterns (staging, intermediate, mart layers) with automated testing, validation, and documentation that holds up in production
• Engage directly with business stakeholders — cost accountants, project managers, analysts — to understand their processes, validate business logic, and ensure your data models accurately represent the real world
• Integrate data from diverse and sometimes messy source systems, including multiple ERPs, APIs, file-based feeds, and cloud services, making deliberate decisions about entity resolution and cross-system reconciliation
• Structure data products to be AI-ready — with semantic clarity, consistent naming, documented lineage, and quality sufficient for both human analysts and AI/LLM consumption
• Use AI tools as a natural part of your engineering workflow (Claude Code, Snowflake Cortex, and others) to accelerate development, improve code quality, and evaluate where AI capabilities can be embedded into the data products you build
• Develop and maintain data quality frameworks — not just running tests, but deciding what to test, identifying where upstream business processes create risk, and building detection that catches problems before consumers do
• Contribute to platform reliability by building monitoring, alerting, and automation into your work rather than treating it as someone else's problem
• Participate in legacy platform migration, transitioning workloads from older tools to the modern stack while preserving data integrity and business continuity
• Share knowledge through code review, documentation, and pairing — building shared capability so the team isn't dependent on any single person for any single domain
Qualifications:
Required:
• 3+ years of hands-on experience building data pipelines in a cloud data warehouse environment
• Strong SQL skills and practical experience with dbt (or equivalent transformation framework using version control, testing, and modular design)
• Experience with Snowflake or comparable cloud data platform (Redshift, BigQuery, Databricks)
• Experience working with cloud infrastructure services, particularly AWS (S3, Glue, Lambda)
• Experience with dimensional data modeling and translating business processes into data structures
• Working knowledge of CI/CD and version control (Git, Azure DevOps, or similar)
• Demonstrated experience engaging directly with business stakeholders to understand requirements and validate data accuracy — not just building from pre-written specifications
• Active use of AI coding assistants (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or similar) in your current engineering work
Preferred:
• Experience in multi-ERP or multi-source-system environments where entity resolution and cross-system reconciliation were part of the daily work
• Python skills applied to data engineering automation and pipeline orchestration
• Experience designing data structures with AI/ML consumption in mind (semantic modeling, feature engineering, LLM-ready schemas)
• Experience with Power BI data modeling or semantic layer design
• Experience migrating workloads from legacy platforms to modern cloud-native stacks
• Experience building lightweight data applications (Streamlit or similar)
• Background in manufacturing, engineering services, or EPC industries
• Familiarity with Agile/Scrum delivery practices
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or related field
