Job description

At Tyler Technologies, we exist to inspire and empower every public servant to address society's pressing issues. We do that by enabling data-driven leadership through connected data and shared insights.

Our data as a service platform and cloud-based solutions support the world’s most effective open and internal data sharing programs at every level of government. What we do matters. New York City, Virginia, the Department of Commerce, and 230+ other cities, states, counties, and federal agencies use us to connect citizens and their internal teams with information that matters to their day-to-day life. Our Data Engineers are part of our cross-division Solution Development team, which develops data-driven analytical and transparency solutions. These solutions lower the barriers to insights and provide public servants unprecedented access to data in Tyler source systems that underpin many of the basic functions of governments including public safety, community development, and public administration.

We are looking for an experienced Senior Data Engineer to join this team. This person will work with internal partners, clients, and developers to brainstorm and evaluate technical solutions, product integration opportunities, and demonstrations. This role requires creative thinking, a deep curiosity and understanding of data models and usage, as well as empathy for partner/client challenges and pain points. This person needs to work hand-in-hand at a strategic level with their colleagues in Product Development, and other Tyler divisions as well as in other departments, around a specified set of targeted software partnerships, integrations, and solutions we are pursuing and incubating.

This is a technical role but also requires a diverse range of consultative and project management skills. The primary focus of this role is to collaborate with cross-divisional partners to design and implement data ingress strategies that support Data & Insights solutions. These solutions in turn enable public sector organizations to share data with their audiences, internal employees, and other agencies. The work with partners includes full projects as well as proofs of concept. A proof of concept aligns Data & Insights solutions with a partner's vision, mission, or program, which requires technical configuration, data transformation, and solution creation.

Before we get to the list-y bit of the posting, a few key points:

• You must be a resident in the U.S. to be considered for this role.
• We are not considering candidates who require visa sponsorship for this position. This is a budgetary decision and due to the significant talent available currently who do not require such sponsorship.
• This is not a data analyst or data science role, and it requires significant architecture and consultative collaboration skills.

Work with our transformative data solutions that help agencies address mission-critical outcomes. Our cloud-based data platform, open data solutions, and performance management solutions help agencies improve performance, transparency, and public engagement.

• Familiarity with terraform for deploying and maintaining infrastructure.
• Detail-oriented and able to define data and metadata frameworks and organizations to support complex integrations.
• Advanced data transformations using data extract, transform and load (ETL) tools in languages such as Scala, Java, or Python.
• Ability to create and optimize advanced SQL queries both for data extraction and as the basis for compelling client-facing Data & Insights solutions.
• Familiarity with REST web frameworks.
• Ability to articulately talk through and whiteboard these concepts and approaches with clients.
• Familiarity working with public sector organizations is strongly desired.
• Ability to focus, balance trade-offs, work within constraints, and make good decisions, including managing multiple projects simultaneously, is required.
• Comfortable conducting client trainings of data publishing workflows.
• Self-directed, self-motivated, and the ability to work independently.
• Required to undergo and satisfactorily pass a fingerprint background check in accordance with CJIS requirements.

We aspire to be remarkable: in the culture we create, the products we build, and the services we deliver. We believe a diverse team that embodies different backgrounds and experiences is necessary for us to be the best we can be. We actively build and strengthen a culture of inclusivity, creating a welcoming environment where everyone can be their authentic selves.
