Build reusable data assets supporting recurring analytics (marketing funnel, retention, revenue, segmentation). Translate analytical and AI use cases into resilient data engineering workflows that deliver measurable value. Implement CI/CD for pipelines, Infrastructure-as-Code, and containerized ETL. Evaluate emerging technologies to enhance performance, automation, and observability. Champion modular design, code reusability, and reliability as team-wide standards. Qualifications Bachelor’s/Master’s in Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field. 6+ years in data engineering, pipeline design, or infrastructure operations.
