Data Engineer – Lead



Data Engineers support the Global Express Lane (GEL) Analytics team by collecting and synthesizing data across multiple areas of our client’s business and preparing to meet the team’s core reporting needs. Most work / analysis will be done in the enterprise data warehouse to create tables and views for reporting purposes, so strong SQL skills are required, but additional file integration of Excel docs, .csv files, etc., will also be in scope, so familiarity with Python is highly desirable, although experience with other ETL is acceptable. Strong communication is (as always) critical, as the data engineer’s primary responsibility will be to take input from BSAs / business team members to quickly understand and implement requirements.

Engineers are co-located with the business, and we try to live and breathe the Agile process, so experience with the stand-up/sprint cadence and a culture of iterative development is desirable. One of the core benefits the engineering team offers the business is a stable SDLC (so business analysts aren’t directly changing production objects…), as well, so familiarity with best practices around code promotion, integrated testing, and CI/CD is useful.

As a lead within the engineering team, you will also provide guidance to the engineering staff, help adhere to SDLC best practices, and ideally provide support in the operations space, as well – we primarily work with AWS and the best candidates will have hands-on experience with the platform. All team members should be comfortable quickly responding and pivoting to meet shifting business needs, working closely to ensure that turnaround time of requests is handled as quickly as possible, and receiving and incorporating feedback. Our goal is to serve our business fast, course correct, and iterate. 

Data Engineer – Lead Qualifications:

Bachelor’s Degree in a software-related field.

4-7 years experience developing in a large enterprise environment.

4+ years SQL development.

4+ years ETL development (SSIS, Informatica, Matillion, etc.).
