Responsibilities

About the role:

We are expanding our efforts into complementary data technologies for decision support in areas of ingesting and processing large data sets including data commonly referred to as semi-structured or unstructured data. Our interests are in enabling data science and search-based applications on large and low latent data sets in both a batch and streaming context for processing. To that end, this role will engage with team counterparts in exploring and deploying technologies for creating data sets using a combination of batch and streaming transformation processes. These data sets support both off-line and in-line machine learning training and model execution. Other data sets support search engine-based analytics. Exploration and deployment of technologies activities include identifying opportunities that impact business strategy, collaborating on the selection of data solutions software, and contributing to the identification of hardware requirements based on business requirements. Responsibility also includes coding, testing, and documentation of new or modified scalable analytic data systems including automation for deployment and monitoring. This role partakes, along with team counterparts, in developing solutions in an end-to-end framework on a group of core data technologies.

In this role you will:

• Contribute to the evaluation, research, experimentation efforts with batch and streaming data engineering technologies in a lab to keep pace with industry innovation
• Work with data engineering related groups to inform on and showcase capabilities of emerging technologies and to enable the adoption of these new technologies and associated techniques
• Contribute to the definition and refinement of processes and procedures for the data engineering practice
• Work closely with data scientists, data architects, ETL developers, other IT counterparts, and business partners to identify, capture, collect and format data from the external sources, internal systems, and the data warehouse to extract features of interest
• Code, test, deploy, monitor, document and troubleshoot data engineering processing and associated automation
