Role Summary: We are seeking an expert and autonomous contract Senior Data Engineer to accelerate the evolution of our core data platform. Your primary mission will be to solve our most critical infrastructure bottleneck: the co-mingling of production and analytical workloads that creates performance risks and slows our ability to generate insights. You will be a key architect on a new initiative, channeling your deep expertise in data warehousing, event-driven systems, and database operations into the foundational systems that will unlock the entire company. This role is for a hands-on engineer who is a master of their craft. You will be fully empowered to own the implementation and success of this project. Key Activities: - Engineer for Enterprise-Grade Governance: Architect and implement the technical backbone for our compliance initiatives (SOC 2, GDPR). You will build the systems for our future data catalog, manage data access, and solve the high-friction processes that currently hinder legitimate analysis. - Modernize our Data Ingestion Layer: Design and build robust, scalable pipelines for both batch and event-driven data, setting the stage for future real-time analytics and ML feature capabilities. - Establish Data Quality as a Core Practice: Implement the foundational patterns for data quality monitoring. You will build automated freshness and integrity checks for our most critical data assets, establishing a new level of trust and reliability in our data. - Architect and Build the Next-Generation Data Warehouse: Proactively own the end-to-end process of designing and building the migration of our analytical workloads from a shared production cluster to a modern, scalable cloud data warehouse (e.g., Snowflake).
