The Data Engineer must possess effective communication skills to both understand business needs and concisely and accurately convey solutions. This position also requires strong skills in problem solving and data manipulation through software programming.

- Conduct proof-of-concept, prototype, and pilot initiatives.
- Identify, model, and communicate solution costs, benefits, risks, and opportunities to management and relevant stakeholders.
- Work closely with data analysts and scientists to design and model data objects, data mapping, data transformation, and data quality rules.
- Work closely with technical leads and software application programmers to ensure that data objects and data services align with overall application solutions.
- Implement data solutions, inclusive of quality and performance (unit) testing.
- Monitor the health, security, availability, performance, and scalability of in-scope production data solutions and resolve issues rapidly according to criticality.
- Communicate issues, progress, and resolutions to management and impacted stakeholders in a timely and effective manner.
- Understand the growth (storage, usage) and changing nature of usage for in-scope data solutions and proactively design for this growth and change.
- Interface effectively with support staff to ensure interoperability of data solutions with underlying technology infrastructure, both tactically and strategically.
- Develop support and process guides and training materials and train/mentor other data solution support staff.
- Develop and communicate realistic solution delivery timelines with identified dependencies and risks and proactively communicate progress.
- Individually meet assigned deadlines and proactively communicate work that will not be completed on time with expected quality.
- Follow company and department policies, processes, and procedures.
- Undertake other duties as assigned.
Required Skills/Qualifications:
A bachelor of arts or science degree, equivalent or higher in business analysis, data analysis/engineering, systems analysis and design, IT product design and marketing, or a related discipline is required.

- Significant experience successfully processing major data format types, structures, and access methods, such as csv, Excel, JSON, RDBMS, hashes, arrays, structured and unstructured, APIs, data/web services, and query languages.
- Deep understanding of relational database features and file servers from a data load, security, compression/storage, and data query performance perspective, including PostGres.
- Practical knowledge of pervasive operating systems (Windows, Linux) and how memory, storage, and host/virtual machine infrastructure interoperate with data applications.
- Strong ability to collaborate with staff and management and be open to feedback, criticism, and alternative thoughts.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Strong adaptability and capacity to work in fast-paced environments.
