Part of the challenge as a data engineer will be to find scalable and efficient coding solutions that plug into this extensible system in order to add more data to the Enterprise data store.

Experience with other data ingest pipelines such as NIFI is also desired as this contract is likely to evolve over the next 5 years to keep up with industry best practices.

In this role you will work with product owners and data stewards to deliver high quality technical solutions in response to business requirements. You will be counted on to provide your peers with technical expertise that will offer solutions for difficult programming problems.
