  • Implement data validation, testing, and quality checks to ensure accuracy and reliability across datasets
  • Manage data workflows, orchestration, and automation using modern tools and practices (e.g., Airflow, GitHub Actions)
  • Support downstream users and analysts by preparing clean, well-structured datasets for Power BI dashboards and reports
  • Contribute to the development and management of containerized environments using Docker and Linux
  • Collaborate with BI developers, analysts, and business stakeholders to deliver end-to-end data solutions
  • Help define and promote data engineering best practices, frameworks, and standards within a growing data environment

What we're looking for

  • 7–10 years of data engineering experience across the full data lifecycle
  • Strong programming experience in Python, including data libraries such as Pandas, PySpark, or SQLAlchemy
  • Advanced SQL skills and hands-on experience developing transformations using dbt
  • Experience with Snowflake or similar cloud data platforms (e.g., Redshift, BigQuery)
  • Working knowledge of Linux, Docker, and GitHub Actions for environment management and CI/CD automation
  • Understanding of data architecture concepts, including modeling, lineage, and orchestration
  • Exposure to Power BI and experience supporting analytics or BI teams
