  • Monitor and optimize data infrastructure performance, troubleshooting issues as needed within the team's allocated resources.
  • Establish and enforce data governance and usage guidelines to ensure compliance and best practices.
  • Remain current on industry trends and emerging technologies in data engineering, BI, and analytics.
  • Education: BS or MS in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or related technical field.
  • Experience: 8-12 years of experience in Data Engineering, Data Analytics, Business Analytics, or related fields
  • Skills: Strong experience in data pipeline orchestration (Databricks, Kafka) and data modeling for analytical environments; Hands-on experience with Databricks, Starburst, and Kafka as a power user; Hands-on expertise with dashboard development and monitoring (e.g., Power BI, Tableau); Deep expertise in data discrepancy investigation, root cause analysis, and resolution; Proficiency in SQL and Python; familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure); Strong organization and project management skills; Excellent problem-solving skills to investigate unknowns and connect disparate data sources
  • Communication: Exceptional communication and documentation skills to accurately convey technical requirements and priorities to stakeholders
  • Teamwork: Ability to work cross-functionally with a diverse group of people and functions to drive timely solutions
Complementary skills
  • Strong presentation and documentation skills
  • Self-motivated, proactive, and willing to work through barriers and strive for continuous improvement
