About the role
- Senior Data Engineer at Lightcast responsible for building data infrastructure. Collaborate with engineering and analytics teams to support machine learning and enterprise decision-making.
Responsibilities
- Architect, build, and maintain scalable, reliable data pipelines (batch & streaming) to ingest, transform, and deliver data for analytics, reporting, and ML use cases.
- Architect software applications, test, and build automated tools.
- Translate complex functional and technical requirements into architecture designs and high-performing software solutions.
- Select appropriate data solution software and define hardware requirements to support performance and scalability.
- Develop and implement standards and processes for data integration projects and initiatives.
- Lead the design and development of software applications, testing, and building tools.
- Optimize SQL queries (joins, window functions, aggregations, partitioning, indexing) and data schema performance.
- Design data models, schemas, and data warehouses/data lakes (dimensional, star, snowflake schemas, normalization/denormalization).
- Ensure data quality, correctness, and consistency across datasets (validation, anomaly detection, reconciliation).
- Ensure database changes are reviewed and approved according to standards.
- Monitor, troubleshoot, and tune performance of pipelines, databases, and workloads.
- Drive adoption of engineering best practices: version control, CI/CD, testing (unit and integration for data pipelines), documentation, and code reviews.
