Own full development lifecycle—architecture, development, testing, and bug resolution—for business-critical data initiatives
Collaborate with stakeholders to define data requirements and translate business problems into technical solutions
Engineer robust, extensible data pipelines using modern cloud technologies (Snowflake, DATAPROC, AIRFLOW, Cloud Composer, Big Query)
Design, troubleshoot, and execute repeatable data processes; identify bottlenecks and optimize for efficiency and reliability
Bridge technical and business teams: analyze complex issues and communicate findings in terms business leadership understands
Enforce engineering best practices and proactively identify security vulnerabilities across the team
Mentor junior engineers on new technologies, processes, and industry domain knowledge
Lead cross-functional initiatives across Consulting, New Product Development, Data, and Engineering teams
Qualifications of this Role:

Expert in SQL and Python; proficiency in modern cloud data platforms (GCP Bigquery, Snowflake)
Highly skilled in extract, transform, and load (ETL) processes with demonstrated efficiency and accuracy outcomes
Hands-on experience with orchestration tools (AIRFLOW, Cloud Composer) and distributed computing (DATAPROC)
Proven ability to integrate complex, multi-source data sets with multiple dimensions and layers of complexity
Track record of resolving data quality issues creatively and effectively; strong judgment to flag anomalies and inconsistencies
Ability to translate technical analysis into clear business insights; effective communicator in written and verbal formats
Subject matter expertise or demonstrated ability to quickly develop deep domain knowledge in industry-specific business rules and processes
AI-Assisted Development
Proficient with AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code) and able to judge when to accept, edit, or reject generated output
Skilled at providing effective context — codebase conventions, requirements, constraints — to produce production-quality results
Experience using AI to accelerate test authoring, documentation, and routine refactoring
Aware of AI tool limitations: hallucinated APIs, outdated patterns, security pitfalls in generated code, and the need for human verification before merge
Personal Attributes
Self-directed and detail-oriented, able to take ownership of work from requirements through release
Strong communication and problem-solving skills, comfortable working across technical and business stakeholders
Supports the growth of other team members through peer reviews, pairing, and mentorship
