Position Details:

We are looking for a Staff Data Engineer for our Pricing team. The team creates the technology that supports Grainger's pricing strategy. Providing the right product at the right price is core to Grainger's growth objectives, both in terms of driving direct growth through pricing leverage and supporting other growth drivers like marketing. The Pricing team is responsible for building and maintaining the applications and data that support deriving the right price for each product.

Our vision: Pricing in the MRO (maintenance, repair, & operations) industry is extraordinarily complex because of the many factors that must be considered. Setting a market-relevant price requires a clear understanding of product, customer, and competitor dynamics. Evolving the technology to support deriving the market-relevant price requires constant iteration and collaboration with our business partners. We are a highly visible and important strategic team in our pricing strategy roadmap.

• Partner with stakeholders including data, design, product, and executive teams and assist them with data-related technical issues.
• Mentor junior team members.

• 10 years of experience with modern data engineering projects and practices: designing, building, and deploying scalable data pipelines.
• 5+ years of experience in designing, building, and deploying cloud-native solutions.
• At least 3 years of experience with AWS, Snowflake, DBT, Python, Docker/Kubernetes, CI/CD, Git, and familiarity with Airflow.

• Developed data products/systems using large and complex data sets to meet business and technical requirements.
• Worked as a technical lead on the team.
• Mentored junior team members through design and development.
• Experience partnering with internal departments to establish requirements.
