It means using your skills to help businesses thrive, shaping the future of work, and growing alongside the people and communities we support.

• Collaborate closely with software engineers, data scientists, and analysts to ensure the data platform effectively supports business and product goals.
• Drive innovation and best practices in data engineering, continuously improving data quality, performance, and delivery efficiency across teams.

What You'll Bring

• Extensive experience in data solutions, technology tools, governance tools, cloud platforms, Python/Scala, and SQL.
• Experience building pipelines and products with unstructured data, applying relevant techniques such as classic NLP, embedding and feature extraction from multi-modal data.
• Familiar with engineering practices such as TDD, clean code, CI/CD, and DevOps.
• Proven experience delivering reliable, efficient data infrastructure.
• Strong communication skills with a track record of working across business, tech, and data teams.
• Solid understanding of data quality, consistency, and governance requirements.
• Ability to understand needs across domains like finance, marketing, sales, customer, and product data.
• Awareness of data needs for AI/ML and integration with MLOps tools and practices.

Bachelor's or Master's degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Data Science, Machine Learning, or a related field and relevant certifications (e.g., AWS Certified Machine Learning - Specialty) are highly desirable.
