- Ensure data quality, integrity, and security across all stages of the data lifecycle.
- Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior data engineers and team members.
- Communicate technical details and insights clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences, including leadership.
- Proactively recommend and implement improvements to existing data infrastructure and software programs.
- Stay current with industry trends and emerging technologies in geospatial data engineering.
What you will bring:
- An excitement and dedication towards manifesting real and measurable impact for customers and clients and a dedication to being a team player towards achievement of those outcomes.
- Experience in software development, data engineering, or big data roles, preferably with a focus on geospatial data.
- Experience building solutions with Python.
- Experience with relational databases (e.g., SQL), including advanced query building, data extraction, and manipulation.
- Experience architecting and optimizing cloud-based data solutions (preferably GCP, AWS, or Azure).
- Deep experience with big data technologies such as Hadoop, Spark, MapReduce, or Kafka.
- Experience integrating with API-driven, service-to-service web services.
