ABOUT THIS ROLE

As a data engineer in the Information Management Systems team, you will be responsible for developing and managing data pipelines that deliver data to downstream business-critical systems. You will have opportunities to create/improve ETL (extract, transform, load) flows that process large volumes of data. You will also build/enhance APIs to serve data to downstream services and end-users.
You will have the autonomy to find the best way to solve problems, such as finding the most suitable technologies to use.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Write high-quality code with unit, functional and end-to-end tests
• Design, build, and deploy ETL solutions that are scalable and maintainable
• Triage system issues to ensure the smooth running of data pipelines and systems (detecting/debugging/tracking/resolving production incidents)
• Enable easy access to data for end-users (data scientists, analysts, and software engineers) via APIs with appropriate access control mechanisms
• Prepare data in ready state for AI applications
