- Partner with cross-functional business leaders to translate complex operational requirements into high-impact, scalable data solutions.
Qualifications:
- 10+ years in Data Engineering & Analytics, with extensive hands-on experience building a semantic framework using Python, SQL and modern orchestration frameworks (e.g. Airflow, Lakeflow, Argo). With at least 2+ years of hands-on experience deploying AI generated code.
- Extensive experience using modern data stacks (e.g. Snowflake/Databricks, Big Query) to build complex, enterprise-grade data models.
- Deep understanding of data structures within large-scale enterprise platforms (SAP S/4HANA, Salesforce, Workday, etc.) and the ability to reconcile disparate schemas into clean models.
- Exceptional ability to design modular, scalable, and performant data architectures that prioritize ease of use for downstream AI agents and Analytics tools.
- A track record of driving technical projects from design to completion, mentoring junior engineers, and fostering a culture of collaboration and data excellence.
Bonus Qualifications:
- Experience using LLMs to automate data reconciliation, anomaly detection or root-cause analysis within analytics pipelines with cloud-native data platforms (e.g., Snowflake, Databricks).
- Expert-level Python & SQL skills with a focus on query optimization and performance tuning for massive datasets and reviewing AI generated code.
- Proficiency in creating self-service Analytics environments (e.g., Tableau, Streamlit) that provide actionable insights to business stakeholders.
