Job-Zusammenfassung
Job-Technologien
Deine Rolle im Team
- As a Principal Data Engineer in our team, you will serve as the data architecture, data modeling, and engineering backbone that powers our analytics, statistical modeling, and data-driven products.
- You will transform complex, high-volume upstream datasets, including event tracking, into clean data layers utilized directly by Applied Scientists and Analysts.
- Your work will bridge the gap between raw data streams and production execution, translating complex upstream event signals into high-impact modeling inputs.
- Unlike a traditional data engineering role focused solely on infrastructure, this position carries an equally important mandate in data modeling and collaborative model productionization.
- You will work side-by-side with Applied Scientists to operationalize prototype models, ranging from classical statistical frameworks to machine learning, ensuring critical structural and architectural data choices are made to run them reliably at scale.
- You will collaborate closely with Applied Scientists, Analysts, Data Engineers, Product Managers, and upstream engineering stakeholders across the organization.
- Identify relevant tracking events across complex streams, making intentional data modeling choices to build high-quality, standardized, and well-documented data products for downstream scientists and analysts.
- Partner directly with Applied Scientists to transform model prototypes (statistical or ML) into robust, maintainable, and low-latency production pipelines.
- Lead data modeling strategy across production datasets and model pipelines, making critical structural and schema decisions to ensure long-term performance, correctness, and maintainability.
- Design, build, and optimize pipelines, establishing rigorous standards for data quality, testability, monitoring, and pipeline health.
- Set engineering standards, mentor team members, and drive large-scale data architecture initiatives across multidisciplinary teams.
Unsere Erwartungen an dich
Qualifikationen
- You have led the design of pipelines or data platforms that several teams use, and can show measurable gains in reliability or cost.
- Strong Pyspark, Python and SQL skills, including maintainable code, software design principles, unit testing, debugging, and code reviews.
