As a Senior Data Engineer, you will build an effective data infrastructure that will generate insights for analytics and machine learning. In this role, you will design, build, and manage a big data cloud platform; partner with data analysts and scientists to build an infrastructure/pipeline to collect and analyze all necessary data, including social media data sets; work with proprietary data sets; and ensure databases are high-performing and secure.

You will be an integral team member of an agile team dedicated to breaking the norm and pushing the limits of continuous improvement and innovation. You will have the opportunity to develop your technical knowledge and skills to keep your mind and our business on the leading edge of technology.

If you apply for this position, you will be expected to speak with ease and depth regarding the nature of this role.
