Senior Data Engineer - Advisor

We are currently seeking a Senior Data Engineer to join the core Symphony platform team in an onshore capacity. This is a hands-on development role focused on building, maintaining, and optimizing data pipelines and warehousing solutions.

• Lead refactoring and cleanup of existing Phase 1 code.
• Optimize existing solutions for performance and scalability.
• Build and contribute to reusable patterns and automation frameworks.
• Work within TCCC's metadata-driven architecture.
• Ensure pipelines are used strictly for scheduling — ETL logic must remain in code.
• Manage code using GitHub version control.
• Contribute to discovery sessions to derive requirements directly from data.

Basic Qualifications:

• 8–10 years of hands-on data engineering experience.
• Strong understanding of Apache Spark and its core concepts.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with Microsoft Fabric.
• Background in marketing data or consumer goods analytics.
