Key Accountabilities

• Serve as a senior technical partner to Corporate Land and data teams, translating business requirements into practical, scalable technical solutions.
• Lead hands-on design, development, testing, and deployment of automation workflows, data products, and AI-enabled tools that reduce manual effort and improve decisions.
• Build and maintain data pipelines, queries, applications, and analytical products using Snowflake, Databricks, Palantir, and related platforms.
• Apply established engineering standards for code quality, testing, documentation, observability, security, and deployment, and recommend improvements where needed.
• Own complex workstreams and contribute to prioritization and roadmap development based on business value, feasibility, and dependencies.
• Partner with stakeholders to refine requirements, evaluate technical tradeoffs, and deliver iterative solutions in an ambiguous, fast-paced environment.
• Participate in solution design and code reviews, share technical knowledge, and provide practical coaching to analysts and business users.

• Monitor and optimize deployed solutions for performance, reliability, adoption, and cost efficiency.

• 7+ years of experience in software development, data engineering, automation, analytics engineering, or a closely related technical field.
• Demonstrated experience independently delivering complex, production-grade data, software, automation, or AI solutions.
• Strong proficiency in Python and SQL, with demonstrated ability to produce clean, maintainable, well-tested code.
• Hands-on experience with modern cloud data platforms such as Snowflake, Databricks, or Palantir, including querying, data modeling, and performance optimization.
• Solid understanding of data architecture, ETL/ELT, APIs, governance, security, CI/CD, and software development lifecycle practices.
• Experience owning technical workstreams, contributing to solution design and code reviews, and supporting less-experienced contributors.
• Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deliver in an ambiguous environment.

Desirable Criteria

• Experience in the energy or oil and gas industry, particularly with land, ownership, contracts, leases, title, or related business processes.
• Experience building internal applications, workflow tools, dashboards, or self-service analytics products.
• Experience with AI-assisted development tools, prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation, LLM APIs, or deploying AI-enabled applications.
• Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS or Azure and infrastructure-as-code concepts.
• Experience with data orchestration and transformation tools such as Airflow, dbt, or Databricks Workflows.
