Job summary

EY in the Office of the CTO is seeking a Data Engineer to join the Advanced Forward Engineering (AFE) team. You’ll be embedded with delivery pods, ensuring data is accessible, governed, and production-ready so AI solutions can be safely delivered in regulated client environments.

You will design and operate data ingestion and transformation pipelines, support data interfaces and contracts, and collaborate with Forward Deployed Software Engineers to enable reliable AI workflows.

Qualifications

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or related technical field.
5+ years of experience in data engineering, data integration, or analytics engineering roles.
Hands-on experience building and operating data pipelines in cloud or hybrid environments.
Experience integrating with relational databases, data warehouses, data lakes, or enterprise systems.
Familiarity with data modeling, transformation frameworks, and API-based data access.
Experience working under data governance, security, or compliance constraints.
Ability to collaborate closely with application engineers and operate in delivery-focused teams.

Responsibilities

Serve as the data owner within an AFE delivery pod, ensuring data readiness does not block or delay delivery outcomes.
Design and implement data ingestion, transformation, and access patterns that integrate AI systems with client and legacy data sources.
Ensure data pipelines comply with governance, security, lineage, and access control requirements mandated by regulated environments.
Implement data interfaces and contracts that satisfy DevOps Specification (DS) data requirements for supported deployment templates.
Partner closely with Forward Deployed Software Engineer roles to enable AI workflows, retrieval, and analytics that are reliable in production.
Diagnose and resolve data quality, schema drift, and integration issues encountered in real deployment scenarios.
Contribute reusable data patterns and implementation learnings back to the AFE integration core to improve repeatability across pods.
Support validation, testing, and deployment activities to ensure data flows behave correctly and consistently across environments (dev, test, pre-prod, prod).
