* Understand data that may sit across different architectural layers, systems, and business domains
* Create and work with Snowflake views, tables, schemas, and curated datasets
* Take underlying source data and transform it into a clean, consumable view for downstream analytics
* Support the movement or ingestion of source data into Snowflake when information is not already available through existing Snowflake views

REQUIREMENTS:
* 4-year college degree or equivalent combination of education and experience; Prefer an academic background in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, or related technical field
* 5 years of relevant work experience in analytics, data engineering, business intelligence or related field
* Skilled in object-oriented programming (Python in particular)

* Strong experience in Databricks
* Experience developing integrations across multiple systems and APIs
* Experience with or knowledge of Agile software development methodologies

* Experience using SQL queries as well as writing and perfecting SQL queries in a business environment with large-scale, complex datasets
* Experience with data warehouse technologies. Experience creating ETL and/or ELT jobs
* Excellent problem solving and troubleshooting skills
* Process oriented with great documentation skills
* This position requires an innovative software engineer who is passionate about data and data quality
* The ideal candidate will have strong data warehousing and API integration experience and the ability to develop scalable data pipelines that make data management and analytics/reporting faster, more insightful, and more efficient

Nice to have:
* Experience designing data schemas and operating SQL/NoSQL database systems is a plus
