The reliability of these systems is essential for the accuracy and recency of data that is used by the organization to inform data-driven decision-making. This position requires a confident leader who is passionate about supporting career advancement and professional development for all data engineers, overseeing scalable data pipelines, and increasing efficiency and maturity in a fast-paced environment.

  • Overseeing the design and execution of Business Intelligence data infrastructure, including but not limited to identifying opportunities for data acquisition, and exploring ways to enhance data quality and reliability
  • Leading day-to-day operations of the team and the regular delivery of data engineering initiatives and projects
  • Continuously seeking improved efficiencies, including potentially challenging existing processes and having difficult conversations to drive the team forward
  • Leading strategic conversations with BI, engineering, and product leadership in order to gather, interpret, and document business requirements and translate them into engineering roadmap items
  • Creating detailed documents using Atlassian tools to describe the solution and build architecture diagrams that adhere to standards to socialize the solution to leadership
  • Overseeing and contributing to the development of software systems that enable advanced data analytics capabilities, for example, complex data visualization and advanced algorithms
  • Facilitating team partnership with backend product engineers to optimize production database schemas with data use cases in mind
  • Facilitating inter-departmental partnerships with stakeholder teams to improve their data infrastructure through automation support, data education, and strategic support
  • Facilitating cross-team communication to minimize redundancies and keep teammates moving in step
  • Mentoring and developing junior teammates through pairing, architecture discussions, PR reviews, and big-picture/strategic support

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
