data engineer II

Project overview

GENERAL FUNCTION

The Data Engineer designs, builds, and supports scalable, production-ready data solutions using Snowflake, dbt, SQL, and related enterprise technologies. A critical responsibility of this role is understanding business problems and translating them into clearly defined technical requirements and implementable data solutions. The engineer must be comfortable working through ambiguity, understanding existing business processes and legacy data flows, and contributing throughout discovery, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and ongoing production support.

This role will support the modernization of financial data flows, including integrations with QRM and Oracle OFSAA/FTPCS. The engineer is expected to use approved AI-assisted development tools, such as GitHub Copilot, to improve delivery speed, accuracy, testing, documentation, and maintainability while independently reviewing and validating generated output.

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Partner with business and technical stakeholders to understand business problems and translate them into clearly defined technical requirements and data solutions.

Analyze business processes, source data, existing system behavior, and downstream usage to identify the underlying technical problem to be solved.

Design, build, test, deploy, and support production data pipelines using Snowflake, dbt, SQL, and approved enterprise technologies.

Refine high-level features into workable Agile stories with clear technical requirements and acceptance criteria.

Participate in Agile planning, backlog refinement, estimation, design discussions, sprint execution, and retrospectives.

Develop scalable and reusable data models, transformations, and integration patterns.

Support the analysis and modernization of legacy ETL and file-based data flows.

Implement appropriate data testing, reconciliation, monitoring, alerting, and exception-handling controls.

Design reliable processing that supports reruns, source corrections, backfills, and recovery from production failures.

Integrate data pipelines with databases, schedulers, APIs, files, and vendor applications.

Use approved AI-assisted development tools to improve analysis, coding, testing, troubleshooting, and documentation while validating generated output.

Participate in the team's shared production-support rotation and assist with critical data-processing incidents.

Troubleshoot production issues, perform root-cause analysis, and implement sustainable corrections.

Maintain technical designs, source-to-target mappings, data-flow documentation, runbooks, and troubleshooting procedures.

Identify opportunities to simplify processing, automate recurring activities, and improve operational stability.
