Senior Engineer, Data Engineering & Analytics

The Senior DEA Engineer is a highly capable individual contributor who operates with a high degree of autonomy, owns complex technical problems end-to-end, and elevates the quality and effectiveness of the entire team without formal people management. This role represents the transition from task-based execution to system-level thinking, ownership, and leadership through influence. Senior Engineers are expected to solve ambiguous problems, mentor others, and shape how solutions are designed - not just how they are implemented. The Senior Engineer is expected to have strong proficiency in the team’s primary tech stack, solid understanding of system design principle, comfort with APIs, integrations and distributed systems and strong testing, debugging and performance optimization skills. The Senior Engineer role is at the top of the individual contributor core track, before branching into people leadership (Lead) or deep technical leadership (Principal)As with all positions at KeHE Distributors, we expect that all actions will be consistent with KeHE’s Mission, Vision, and Values., * Design and implement complex software features and systems, ensuring solutions are scalable, maintainable, well-tested, and aligned with architectural and security standards.
