Servco's Data Engineers help ensure the organization has trusted, reliable data to support business decisions. This includes acquiring data from internal systems and external APIs, then transforming, modeling, and curating it for analytics, reporting, AI, and other data-driven solutions.

This role requires foundational DataOps knowledge and the ability to contribute in a cloud-first, code-first, agile environment. The Data Engineer I works with tools such as Databricks, Python, SQL, data orchestration, warehousing, and cloud-native technologies, while continuing to develop clean, efficient, well-documented coding practices.

The ideal candidate brings curiosity, creative and critical thinking, and a strong interest in building quality data solutions. They are motivated to learn how data moves across the organization and to contribute to the reliability of Servco's core data infrastructure.

As a Level I Data Engineer, this individual develops a working understanding of Servco's technical systems, business operations, and related dependencies. They perform core responsibilities with increasing independence while continuing to receive guidance, mentorship, and review.

This is a junior-level role for someone who may not yet have every skill or full proficiency with every technology used by the team. The successful candidate is eager to learn, seek feedback, and grow into a long-term data engineering career aligned with Servco's AI-first future.

This role supports data quality, availability, and trust across the organization, enabling better decisions and supporting strategic, data-driven and AI-enabled outcomes.

This position is primarily on-site and is not a fully remote role. Team members may work from home up to one day per week.

KEY OUTCOMES:

Contribute to the design, development, and maintenance of data pipelines that move data from source systems to storage and processing environments. Assist with logical and physical data structures that support organizational reporting, analytics, warehousing, and cloud storage needs.
