A day in the life as a Senior Data Engineer…

• Lead the technical construction of complex data pipelines. You will be responsible for the engineering implementation of SCD (Slowly Changing Dimension) methodologies and data movement across retail domains as defined by the Data Modeling team
• Manage and maintain enterprise-level orchestration outside of the Google Cloud Platform (e.g., Tidal Automation). You will ensure that data pipelines are synchronized with broader organizational workflows, managing critical interdependencies with other technical teams and legacy systems
• Act as the primary engineering point of contact for external teams. You will build and optimize the pipelines required by Data Science for model training/deployment and by Data Insight for reporting, ensuring their technical requirements are met with high availability
• Build and maintain high-velocity streaming and near-time pathways using Google Dataflow and Confluent Kafka to support real-time operational needs
• Mastery of Dataform (SQLX) to build orchestrated, environment-agnostic transformations. You will ensure all models leverage JavaScript configuration and ref() functions to maintain strict code portability across our 16-project grid
• Partner with the Governance team to implement “Privacy by Design” technical controls, including CCPA/GDPR compliance workflows, encrypted hashing, and integration with centralized Google Dataplex registries
• Enforce mandatory resource labeling (env, domain, layer) across all BigQuery jobs and GCS buckets to ensure transparent cost attribution for the various teams we support
• Lead the team’s Git-flow process via BitBucket. Manage code through feature branches and UAT release collection for deployment into our 16-project production environment
• Perform high-quality code reviews and mentor junior engineers, ensuring the team’s output meets the rigorous engineering standards required to support our downstream partners, Euromarket Designs, Inc., which does business as Crate & Barrel, Crate & Kids, CB2 and Hudson Grace, will be referred to as “the Company”.
