Principal Duties and Responsibilities: A data engineer requires a deep understanding of performance optimization and data pipelining. In addition to the fundamental skills of a data analyst, data engineers can make raw data more beneficial for the enterprise. Data engineers can create and integrate application programming interfaces (APIs). Their technical skills often include multiple programming languages and extensive knowledge of SQL database design. The role of a data engineer demands more thorough knowledge in programming for integrating complex models and utilizing advanced software library frameworks to distribute large, clustered datasets. Data engineers gather and organize data in a form beneficial for analytics. Basic knowledge in machine learning is also essential to construct efficient and accurate data pipelines to fulfil the needs for downstream users such as data scientists to create models and analytics that provide insight. The Data Engineer will perform the following tasks: - Develop, maintain, and test infrastructures for data generation to transform data from various structured and unstructured data sources. - Develop complex queries to ensure accessibility while optimizing the performance of NoSQL and/or big data infrastructure. Create and maintain optimal data pipeline architecture. - Build and sustain the infrastructure to support the extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) of data from a multitude of data sources. Extract data from multiple data sources, relational SQL and NoSQL databases, and other platform APIs, for data ingestion and integration. - Configure and manage data analytic frameworks and pipelines using databases and tools such as NoSQL, SQL, HDInsight, MongoDB, Cassandra, Neo4j, GraphDB, OrientDB, Spark, Hadoop, Kafka, Hive, and Pig. - Apply principles and concepts of distributed systems such as consistency and availability, liveness and safety, durability, reliability, fault-tolerance, and consensus algorithms. - Administer cloud computing and CI/CD pipelines including Azure, Google, and Amazon Web Service (AWS). - Coordinate with stakeholders, including product, data, and design teams to assist with data-related technical issues and support their data infrastructure needs. Requirements - Experience: 1+ years with software engineering, data science, or related experience. - Education: Bachelor's degree or higher in a STEM field, preferably Computer Science or Software Engineering. - Tools: Proficiency in one or more programming languages (Java, C++, Python, R, etc.) - Security Clearance: Minimum of TOP SECRET level. - Verifiable work experience with data structures, database management, distributed computing, and API-driven architectures using SQL and No-SQL engines. - Proficient in modeling frameworks like Universal Modeling Language (UML), Agile Development, and Git Operations.
