Working alongside the Director of Data Architecture & Engineering, as well as collaborating with analysts, data scientists, and other business stakeholders, you help make sure data is accessible, trustworthy, and optimized for informed decision-making.

Specifically, you will:

• Design and develop scalable data pipelines that retrieve information from multiple sources, convert it to the required format, and store it in suitable data repositories optimized for performance, scalability, and efficiency

• Develop and optimize data transformations that prepare data for analytics, AI, and machinelearning use cases, including feature engineering and workflow automation.

• Optimize data systems by tuning performance, resolving bottlenecks, and applying caching and indexing to improve queries

• Ensure data consistency, accuracy, and completeness by implementing validation, monitoring, and automated data quality checks within pipelines.

• Partner with analysts, data scientists, and business stakeholders to understand data requirements and deliver data products that support strategic and operational decisionmaking.

• Collaborate with the Director of Data Architecture & Engineering to implement and evolve data modeling, architectural, and governance standards.

• Improve the quality, security, and usability of analytical models by partnering with data scientists and analysts on upstream data design.

• Continuous improvement. You have a builder's mindset and constantly look for opportunities to modernize. You seek better patterns, automate manual work, strengthen architecture, and improve reliability through thoughtful engineering practices.

• Commitment to data quality, reliability, and governance. You believe data reliability is engineered, not inspected. You design systems with builtin quality checks, lineage, security, and governance, ensuring that data products meet defined contracts, SLAs, and organizational expectations.

• Security, privacy and equity orientation. You design solutions that honor privacy, protect sensitive information, and ensure data can be used responsibly across TNTP.

• Excellent documentation and communication skills. You document with clarity and communicate with clarity, making complex data systems usable, maintainable, and trustworthy for engineers, analysts, and stakeholders alike.
