Senior Data Engineer building tools and infrastructure to support Data Products. Collaborating with cross-functional teams to develop data solutions and scale data infrastructure.
Responsibilities
You’re a builder. You will design, build, and deploy components of a modern data platform, including CDC-based ingestion using Debezium and Kafka, a centralized Hudi-based data lake, and a mix of batch, incremental, and streaming data pipelines.
You ensure continuity while driving modernization. You will maintain and enhance the existing Amazon Redshift data warehouse and legacy Python ELT pipelines, ensuring stability and reliability, while accelerating the transition to a brand-new Databricks-based analytics and processing environment.
You balance innovation with operational excellence. You enjoy building fault-tolerant, scalable, and cost-efficient data systems, and you continuously improve observability, performance, and reliability across both legacy and modern platforms.
You collaborate to deliver impact. You will work closely with cross-functional partners to plan and roll out data infrastructure and processing pipelines that support analytics, machine learning, and GenAI use cases. You enjoy enabling teams across Wave by ensuring data and insights are delivered accurately and on time.
You thrive in ambiguity and take ownership. You are self-motivated and comfortable working autonomously, identifying opportunities to optimize pipelines and improve data workflows, even under tight timelines and evolving requirements.
You keep the platform reliable. You will respond to PagerDuty alerts, troubleshoot incidents, and proactively implement monitoring and alerting to minimize incidents and maintain high availability.
You’re a strong communicator. Colleagues rely on you for technical guidance. Your ability to clearly explain complex concepts and actively listen helps build trust and resolve issues efficiently.
You’re customer-minded. You will assess existing systems, improve data accessibility, and deliver practical solutions that enable internal teams to generate actionable insights and enhance our external customers' experience.
