What we’re looking for

• Help bring engineering best practices (reliability, modularity, test coverage, documentation) to our DAG and to our Data team generally.
• Collaborate with data engineers to build robust, tested, scalable ELT pipelines.
• On a daily basis…
• Data modeling: model raw data into clean, tested and reusable datasets to represent our key business data concepts. Define the rules and requirements for the formats and attributes of data.
• Data transformation: build our data lakehouse by transforming raw data into meaningful, useful data elements through joining, filtering and aggregating source data.
• Data documentation: create and maintain data documentation including data definitions and understandable data descriptions to enable broad-scale understanding of use of data.
• Employ software engineering best practices to write code and coach analysts and data scientists to do the same
