DATA ENGINEER III

The Data Engineer III plays a pivotal role within Dataworks, focused on driving engineering innovation within Dataworks, helping define and build the Dataworks organization and leading 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 III will contribute to the adherence of 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.
S/he will also provide mentorship and guidance to junior engineers to support the continued training and up-skilling of the Data Engineering team.
Under limited supervision, supports the design, build, test and maintenance of data pipelines at big data scale.
Assists with updating data from multiple data sources.
Other functionalities under limited supervision include working on batch processing of collected data and matching its format to the stored data, making sure that the data is ready to be processed and analyzed.
Assists with keeping the ecosystem and the pipeline optimized and efficient, troubleshooting standard performance, data related problems and providing L3 support.
Implements ETL transformers to reformat and enhance the data.
Provides recommendations to complex problems.
Provides guidance to those in less senior positions.
Understanding in depth both the business and technical problems Dataworks aims to solveBuilding tools, platforms and pipelines to enable teams to clearly and cleanly analyze data, build models and drive decisionsScaling up from “laptop-scale” to “cluster scale” problems, in terms of both infrastructure and problem structure and techniqueDelivering tangible value very rapidly, collaborating with diverse teams of varying backgrounds and disciplinesChampioning the adherence to best practices for future reuse in the form of accessible, reusable patterns, templates, and code basesInteracting 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 systemsDesign, implement and optimize ETL processes, data ingestion, and integration workflows on cloud environments Implement best practices for data management, including data quality and security.
mplement cloud-based data storage solutions, leveraging technologies for performance and cost efficiency Identify opportunities for automation and process improvement within the data engineering workflow.
tay updated with emerging technologies and trends in data engineering to enhance our systems and processes.
Minimum Education Bachelor’s Degree in Information Systems, Computer Science or a quantitative discipline such as Mathematics or Engineering and/or equivalent formal training or work experience.
Minimum Experience Three to Four (3 - 4) years equivalent work experience in measurement and analysis, quantitative business problem solving, simulation development and/or predictive analytics.
