This role is for client's project. Client will improve and replace the existing Job search service. The Senior Data Engineer will assist the Application Engineering in building a robust, secure, and modern data pipelines to ingest, process, transform data using Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services or a comparable ETL/ELT tool employing modern data movement strategies and methodologies. The data needs to be store in an Azure Data Lake and eventually brought into a cloud-based data store such as Snowflake or a similar data store. Then, the Analytics reporting solution needs to be built either using cloud-based Google Looker or Microsoft Power BI or another similar tool.
Using the Cloud Data Platform, the Senior Data Engineer will build highly available, robust, concrete data pipelines and reporting solutions following industry best practices, adhering to security guidelines, modifying, and running automated CI/CD pipelines used for releasing code, and modifying and executing terraform modules for deploying infrastructure components, working collaboratively under the direction of client's data engineering management and leads. The resource will be a person with integrity who is dependable and is fully focused on delivering optimal solutions with little to no maintenance and operations overhead.
