Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. EY is a globally connected professional services organization that uses data, AI, and advanced technology to help clients address complex business challenges. The Senior Data Engineer will support Advanced Forward Engineering delivery pods by building governed, production-ready data integrations for AI-native systems in regulated client environments. The role partners with engineers and stakeholders to ensure reliable data workflows, resolve integration issues, and support deployment across environments.
Responsibilities
- Serve as the data owner within an AFE delivery pod, ensuring data readiness does not block or delay delivery outcomes
- Design and implement data ingestion, transformation, and access patterns that integrate AI systems with client and legacy data sources
- Ensure data pipelines comply with governance, security, lineage, and access control requirements mandated by regulated environments
- Implement data interfaces and contracts that satisfy DevOps Specification (DS) data requirements for supported deployment templates
- Partner closely with Forward Deployed Software Engineer roles to enable AI workflows, retrieval, and analytics that are reliable in production
- Diagnose and resolve data quality, schema drift, and integration issues encountered in real deployment scenarios
- Contribute reusable data patterns and implementation learnings back to the AFE integration core to improve repeatability across pods
- Support validation, testing, and deployment activities to ensure data flows behave correctly and consistently across environments (dev, test, pre-prod, prod)
