Data Engineer

Role Summary


The Data Engineer designs, builds, and operates the ingestion, transformation, and Lakehouse solutions that power Masco's enterprise POS and adjacent commercial data. This role delivers high-quality, reliable, and secure data pipelines against the standards and specifications set by the Enterprise Data Architect and the direction of the Data Engineering Leader. The engineer contributes across the full pipeline lifecycle - ingestion, data quality, transformation, and enrichment - including the pipeline-side execution of the enterprise attribution crosswalk. Depending on assignment, the Data Engineer may focus more heavily on ingestion or on quality and pipeline development, but the role covers all aspects.

Attribution & Master Data Support

• Build the ingestion side of the attribution crosswalk and master data foundations against the Enterprise Data Architect's documented spec.

• Support maintenance of hierarchy mappings and attribute relationships through pipeline work.

• Surface data-quality issues, mapping exceptions, and structural gaps back to the Data Engineering Leader and Architect.

DevOps, Automation & Data Preparation

• Implement CI/CD pipelines for data engineering workflows and automate testing, deployment, and monitoring of data solutions.

• Develop, maintain, and secure tables, relationships, metrics, and calculations for analytical models supporting reporting and advanced analytics.

• Contribute to research and recommendations on data management products, services, and standards.

Documentation & Knowledge Management
