• Develop ETL/ELT processes to ingest data from various structured and unstructured sources.
• Perform Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) to uncover trends, validate data integrity, and derive insights that inform data product development and business decisions.
• Collaborate closely with data scientists, analysts, and software engineers to design data models that support high-quality analytics and real-time insights.
• Lead data infrastructure projects including management of data on cloud platforms (AWS/Azure), data lake/warehouse implementations, and data quality frameworks.
• Ensure data governance, security, and compliance best practices are followed.
• Monitor and optimize the performance of data systems, addressing any issues proactively.
• Mentor junior data engineers and contribute to establishing best practices in data engineering standards, tooling, and development workflows.
• Stay current with emerging technologies and trends in data engineering and recommend improvements as needed.

Required Qualifications

• Deep understanding of data modeling, data warehousing, and distributed systems.
• Experience with big data technologies such as Apache Spark, Kafka, Hadoop, etc.
• Familiarity with DevOps practices (CI/CD, infrastructure as code, containerization with Docker/Kubernetes).

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working with real-time data processing and streaming data architectures.
• Knowledge of data security and privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA).
• Exposure to machine learning pipelines or supporting data science workflows.
• Familiarity with prompt engineering and how LLM-based systems interact with data.
