Remote Data Engineer

Data Engineer

Do you have boundless energy and passion for engineering data used to solve dynamic problems that will shape the future of retail? With the sheer scale of our environment comes the biggest of big data sets. As a Data Engineer, you will dig into our mammoth scale of data to help unleash the power of retail data by imagining, developing, automating, and maintaining data pipelines that our Data Scientists and Analysts can rely on. You will be responsible for contributing to an orchestration layer of complex data transformations, refining raw data from source into targeted, valuable data assets for consumption in a governed way.

You will partner with Data Scientists, Analysts, other engineers, and business stakeholders to solve complex and exciting challenges so that we can build out capabilities that evolve the retail business model while making a positive impact on our customers’ lives.

You will be part of the Data Consumption team with major concentration on enabling our International engineering, business and application users to consume data easily and quickly from our data lake. This team provides, maintains, and supports acceleration tools such as Dremio and builds aggregation tables that are consumable by various teams to speed up data availability for business-critical dashboards and reports.

You’ll make an impact by:

• Using data integration techniques to build refined, high impact data sets from complex multi-platform environments (cloud and on-prem) that integrate diverse, large scale internal and external data sources
• Actively identifying new areas where data and analytical capabilities can be leveraged across the organization
• Developing learning systems to analyze and filter continuous data flows, driving toward increasingly lower latency so our data scientists, data analysts and the models they build reflect what is happening in our business right now
• Knowing how to conduct advanced statistical analysis to uncover significant data relationships and trends in the data
• Engaging with leadership
• Combining a sense of urgency and knowledge of data structures to solve and enhance complex computing performance challenges, so that we can optimize and scale algorithms
• Identifying, developing, and delivering improvements on data performance, data quality and cost
• Staying current through continual research and application of new, effective data engineering techniques and best practices from across industries
• Being a passionate adopter and ambassador for data governance practices and process

You’ll sweep us off our feet if:

• You’re an inquisitive, out-of-the box thinker who’s continually on the lookout for opportunities to improve and innovate data systems and analytic solutions. Help us AUTOMATE, AUTOMATE, AUTOMATE!
• You have consistent high standards, your passion for quality is inherent in everything that you do
• You are a collaborative connector who builds bridges between teams and functions
• You evangelize an extremely high standard of code quality, system reliability, and performance
• You have experience in coding with at least one programming language (e.g.
