Responsibilities

Lead data engineering execution in support of complex application development initiatives, ensuring data integrations, pipelines, and models align with established architectural standards

You and your teammates will work collaboratively with other engineers to design, build, and execute data migrations between systems, including data mapping, transformation, validation, and reconciliation to help ensure data accuracy and completeness across environments.

You should be comfortable modeling data, analyzing source and target schemas, writing complex queries, and resolving data quality issues during migration.

Tools

Experience maintaining projects using a distributed version control system such as Git and GitHub.

Experience in automated pipeline deployment and schemas into production environments would be great.

You should be experienced with agile methods and the concepts behind continuous delivery.

We expect you to be passionate about developing migrations, data structures, pipelines, and APIs, so we want to see your experience with security, testing, performance, JSON, and REST.

We are eager to hear about your experience and opinions around data quality, test strategy, and test automation.
