- Develop reusable Python libraries and ingestion accelerators to standardize engineering practices
- Implement robust monitoring, logging, and data reliability engineering practices to ensure SLA adherence
- Refactor and optimize legacy ingestion processes to align with modern data stack best practices
- Drive and support the migration from SQL Server to Snowflake
- Act as the lead architect for enterprise ingestion strategy, mentoring engineers and guiding technical design decisions
- Champion best practices in CI/CD, version control, automated testing, and infrastructure-as-code principles within the data engineering function
- Perform code reviews and enforce architectural standards
- Partner with BI leadership to plan capacity, prioritize initiatives, and execute delivery roadmaps
- Foster a culture of engineering ownership, accountability, and innovation
- Collaborate with business and analytics stakeholders to translate requirements into scalable ingestion designs
- Evaluate emerging tools and technologies within the modern data stack ecosystem
- Contribute to long-term cloud data strategy and architectural evolution
- Ensure enterprise-grade governance, security, compliance, and data quality controls

- Requires the ability to occasionally lift, carry, push, or pull medium weights, up to 50lbs
- Access to a reliable and secure high-speed internet connection. Cable or fiber internet connections (at least 75mbps download/10mbps upload) are preferred, as satellite connections often cannot support the technologies used to perform day-to-day tasks
- Access to a home router and modem
- A dedicated home office space that is noise- and distraction-free. The space should have strong wireless connection or a wired Ethernet connection (wired connection is preferred, if possible)
- A valid, physical address (apartment, suite, etc.). PO Boxes are not supported, as a physical address is required for you to receive your computer equipment
- The desire and ability to work and communicate with other team members via chat, webcam, etc
- Legal residents of one of the following states: (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CT, DE, FL, GA, IA, ID, IN, KS, KY, LA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, MS, MT, NC, ND, NE, NH, NM, NV, OH, OK, PA, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, VT, WI, WV, or WY). H-1B Visa Sponsorship Not Available, W2 only
