As a Senior Data Engineer, you will play a key role in leading the development, maintenance, and optimization of data pipelines and workflows within our Enterprise Data Platform. You ll apply strong data engineering fundamentals along with software engineering and DevOps practices, so pipelines are built, deployed, and monitored as code. Your work will help ensure data accuracy, reliability, and accessibility, enabling teams across the organization to make informed decisions. This position offers an opportunity to lead technical solutions, mentor engineers, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to solve complex data challenges and create impactful solutions., Lead the design, development, and maintenance of scalable data pipelines that process and integrate data from multiple sources into the Enterprise Data Platform. Build pipelines and workflows as code using modern engineering practices (version control, code reviews, automated testing, reusable components). Define and implement patterns for CI/CD for data pipelines (automated builds, tests, deployments, and environment promotion). Partner with data scientists, analysts, and business teams to gather requirements and translate them into robust data solutions. Build and optimize SQL queries and transformations to support complex business use cases and analytics needs. Design and manage data models; validate them with business stakeholders, data architects, and governance partners. Establish data quality checks, validation, and troubleshooting practices to ensure accuracy, consistency, and trust in data products.
