While most have deep expertise in specific areas of the technology stack (front end, back end, data, security etc.), all are comfortable swimming across lanes. This is really important in delivering the product and platform outcomes that our customers expect.

In this role, you will design and build AI and analytics solutions that deliver significant business value. You will collaborate with other data and analytics professionals, management, and stakeholders to ensure that technical requirements align with business needs. Your responsibilities will include creating scalable data architecture and modeling solutions that support the entire data asset lifecycle.

As a Senior Data Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in transforming data into actionable insights. Your time will be spent on various responsibilities, including:

• Designing, building, and operating scalable on-premises or cloud data architecture.
• Analyzing business requirements and translating them into technical specifications.
• Optimizing data flows for target data platform designs.

This role offers the opportunity to work with cutting‑edge technologies and stay ahead of industry trends, ensuring you gain a competitive advantage in the market. The position may require regular travel to meet with external clients.

To thrive in this role, you will need a blend of technical and interpersonal skills. Your ability to communicate effectively and build relationships will be crucial. Here are some key attributes we look for:

• Ability to work with both technical and business stakeholders.
• Prior experience leveraging LLMs or other GenAI tooling.
• Proven ability to work across cross‑functional teams.
• Proven ability to work with ambiguity or when requirements are lacking/changing.
• Owns a problem from raw source through pipeline, model/analysis, and production handoff.
• Checks bias, leakage, sample size, and whether a metric actually answers the question.

• Strong analytical and decision‑making skills.
• Proficiency in cloud computing and data architecture design.
• Experience in data integration and security.
• Ability to manage complex problem‑solving scenarios.

• A Bachelor’s degree required (4-year degree) in Data Science, Machine Learning, Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Engineering, Applied Math, Analytics, or related preferred.
