• Design and build scalable data pipelines using a variety of technologies such as Spark, Python, Airflow, Snowflake, BigQuery, DBT, Druid, and others.

• Work cross-functionally with ML engineers, data scientists, and analysts to understand business objectives and data needs, translating them into solutions that drive data insights and reporting.

• Apply industry best practices for data infrastructure, storage, and processing in a petabyte-scale environment.

• Leverage cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, Snowflake) to architect and develop cloud-based data solutions that are reliable and efficient.

• Proactively monitor and maintain data pipelines to ensure they meet internal service level agreements (SLAs).

• Implement and uphold data governance strategies to ensure data quality, consistency, and security across the organization.

• Hands-on experience with big data technologies like Flink and Spark, as well as cloud platforms (experience with GCP is preferred, but AWS is also a plus).

• Strong understanding of data warehousing concepts, including ETL/ELT processes, data modeling, and patterns like SCD, CDC, snapshots, partitioning, etc.

• Solid data architecture skills, with experience working across multiple repositories, services, and environments.

• Ability to navigate ambiguity and take full ownership of problem definitions and solutions.

• Exceptional problem-solving abilities with a proven ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

You might also have
