Data Engineer
LRW
Role
LRW is swimming in data, coming from many sources. The marketing and data science team requires an experienced and all-purpose data engineer to architect and manage a data warehouse (e.g. a datalake) along with ETL processes to enable access to this data in efficient and easy to use ways, across multiple platforms.
The ideal candidate should be curious, independent, responsive, and articulate; someone who is receptive to instruction and feedback but can work well with ill-formed problems; is interested in the core business of the company and seeks to identify the business and use implications of various solutions; and someone who is a tenacious problem-solver who seeks to identify core bottlenecks from both a technological as well as a process-oriented standpoint.
The technical skills we are looking for around data warehouse design and ETL are all or most of the following: MS SQL, MySQL, SQLite, PostgreSQL, NoSQL, Hive, Hadoop/Yarn, Pig, AWS Infrastructure (RDS, S3, Glue, Redshift, etc.), Spark, and familiarity deploying solutions through docker or REST APIs. Experience in Python and/or R a plus.
What You Will Do
- Work with a variety of stakeholders to design, create, and maintain a database architecture that unifies ETL processes across multiple data sources and made accessible across multiple platforms
- Develop perspectives around ETL processes that align with business needs and use cases, while oriented toward improving data reliability, efficiency and quality
- Discover data across the entire business, even in hard to see places
- Develop processes to shape data in meaningful ways, amenable for modeling, mining and production, and set standards for others to follow
- Employ any required language or tool to stitch a coherent system together
