SummaryThe Data Engineer Lead plays a pivotal role within Dataworks, focused on creating and driving engineering innovation within Dataworks, helping define and build the Dataworks organization and facilitate the delivery of key business initiatives. S/he acts as a “universal translator” between IT, business, software engineers and data scientists, collaborating with these multi-disciplinary teams. The Data Engineer Lead will contribute to the creation of and adherence to technical standards for data engineering, including the selection and refinements of foundational technical components. S/he will work on those aspects of the Dataworks platform that govern the ingestion, transformation, and pipelining of data assets, both to end users within FedEx and into data products and services that may be externally facing. Day-to-day, s/he will be deeply involved in code reviews and large-scale deployments. Job Description / Responsibilities
Understanding in depth both business and technical problems Dataworks aims to solve.
Building tools, platforms and pipelines to enable teams to clearly and cleanly analyze data, build models and drive decisions.
Scaling up from “laptop-scale” to “cluster scale” problems, in terms of both infrastructure and problem structure and technique.
Delivering tangible value very rapidly, collaborating with diverse teams of varying backgrounds and disciplines
Codifying best practices for future reuse in the form of accessible, reusable patterns, templates, and code bases
Interacting with senior technologists from the broader enterprise and outside of FedEx (partner ecosystems and customers) to create synergies and ensure smooth deployments to downstream operational systems
Fluency with distributed and cloud environments and a deep understanding of how to balance computational considerations with theoretical properties
Detailed knowledge of the Microsoft Azure tooling for large-scale data engineering efforts and deployments is highly preferred
A compelling track record of designing and deploying large scale technical solutions, which deliver tangible, ongoing value
Direct experience having built and deployed robust, complex production systems that implement modern, data scientific methods at scale
Ability to context-switch, to provide support to dispersed teams which may need an “expert hacker” to unblock an especially challenging technical obstacle, and to work through problems as they are still being defined.
Demonstrated ability to deliver technical projects with a team, often working under tight time constraints to deliver value.
An ‘engineering’ mindset, willing to make rapid, pragmatic decisions to improve performance, accelerate progress or magnify impact
Comfort with working with distributed teams on code-based deliverables, using version control systems and code reviews.
Ability to conduct data analysis, investigation, and lineage studies to document and enhance data quality and access
Use of agile and devops practices for project and software management including continuous integration and continuous delivery.
Demonstrated expertise working with some of the following common languages and tools:
Spark (Scala and PySpark), HDFS, Kafka and other high-volume data tools
SQL and NoSQL storage tools, such as MySQL, Postgres, Cassandra, MongoDB and ElasticSearch
Pandas, Scikit-Learn, Matplotlib, TensorFlow, Jupyter and other Python data tool
flink, kubernetes, and databricks.
