Senior Data Engineer

-

We are looking for a Senior Data Engineer to play a key senior technical role on our Data Engineering team, helping optimize and scale our existing large-scale data platform.

This is a hands-on engineering role with a strong technical leadership component.

You will design and build data pipelines and platform improvements while setting a strong technical example, reviewing the work of other engineers, and serving as a go-to resource for complex architecture and data engineering challenges.

Reporting directly to the Director, Data Engineering, you will work alongside a small, focused team to build reliable, scalable data products and maintain a high-performing platform that supports evolving analytics and AI/ML needs.

This role is well suited to an experienced data engineer seeking significant hands-on ownership, along with opportunities to mentor others and influence technical practices across the team.

Key Accountabilities/Deliverables:

Hands-On Engineering & Technical Ownership


* Design, build, and optimize data pipelines, ingestion frameworks, and platform components that support analytics, reporting, and downstream AI/ML use cases.


* Take direct ownership of high-complexity or high-risk engineering initiatives, from technical design through implementation and rollout.


* Identify and resolve performance, scalability, and reliability bottlenecks across the existing data platform.


* Contribute to the platform's AI/ML readiness by improving data models, governance, and access patterns (e.g., feature stores, curated datasets, streaming access).


* Diagnose and resolve complex production issues, including on-call support for critical data pipeline failures.


* Write clean, well-tested, well-documented code and infrastructure-as-code, and maintain strong engineering hygiene across your work.

Technical Leadership & Collaboration


* Act as a senior technical resource for the team, providing guidance on architecture, design patterns, and best practices.


* Conduct code and design reviews, helping raise the technical bar across the Data Engineering team.


* Partner closely with the Director, Data Engineering on technical design decisions, tooling evaluations, and platform roadmap input.


* Mentor other data engineers, sharing knowledge and helping develop their technical skills.


* Partner cross-functionally with Product and Engineering stakeholders to understand data needs and translate them into technical solutions.


* Help document standards, runbooks, and architectural decisions to support team scalability and knowledge sharing.


* Other duties as assigned.

Technical Knowledge and Understanding:


* Deep expertise in data pipeline design, optimization, and distributed data processing architectures with experience identifying and resolving performance and scalability bottlenecks


* Strong knowledge of cloud data platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and modern data warehouse/Lakehouse...
