- Contribute to data delivery work, including reverse ETL integrations, under guidance from senior engineers
- Add and extend fields in existing pipelines, incorporating review feedback and applying learned patterns on future work
- Take oncall pages for pipeline failures, work through runbooks, and escalate with clear context when needed
- Pair with senior engineers on data integrity issues you can't yet diagnose alone
- Write clear, reviewer-friendly PR descriptions and ask clarifying questions before starting new work
- Flag blockers early and with context rather than going quiet when stuck
- Build strong working relationships with internal stakeholders (BI analysts, other data engineers, data scientists) and help gather and clarify requirements
- Conduct and participate in code and system inspections
- Help the team define and adhere to data engineering best practices
- Mentor more junior data engineers as you grow into the role

- Knowledge of several of the following technologies: Snowflake, Databricks, AWS, dbt, Tableau, MongoDB, PostgreSQL
- Familiarity with Git-based version control and PR-based code review workflows
- Strong communication skills — asks clarifying questions, writes clear PR descriptions, and escalates blockers with useful context rather than staying stuck silently
- A growth mindset: takes review feedback well, improves processes, and champions best practices to avoid technical debt
- Exposure to cloud data warehouses/lakehouses (Snowflake, Databricks, AWS) and data catalog/lineage tooling
- Familiarity with dbt, Tableau, MongoDB, or PostgreSQL
- Familiarity with reverse ETL tools or patterns (e.g., Segment, LaunchDarkly, Kafka, S3-based delivery)
- Exposure to PII masking, data security, or RBAC/access governance concepts
