The Engineer is a fully independent mid-level individual contributor who is trusted to own complex work within their assigned areas. You will operate without guidance on most technical work, act as a subject matter expert within your projects, and contribute meaningfully to improving the team's engineering capability through coaching and process improvement.

Technical Delivery
• Lead implementation of complex, loosely scoped problems without guidance; exercise independent judgment on approach, trade-offs, and implementation decisions.
• Write well-tested code and pipeline designs without guidance; provide technical guidance to other engineers on the team.

• Coach less experienced engineers in tools, practices, and problem-solving approaches within your assigned areas.
• Drive improvements to processes, knowledge, and engineering quality beyond your own assigned work.

Qualifications:

Education:
• BA/BS required (quantitative or engineering discipline preferred); MS a plus.

Experience:

Technical Skills:
• Strong proficiency in Python and SQL; writes clean, well-tested code without guidance and provides guidance to others.
• Solid experience with data pipeline development and ML workflows (feature pipelines, model inputs, data preparation); growing MLOps proficiency.
• Hands-on experience with cloud-native platforms (Databricks preferred; AWS or Azure broadly).
• Independently learns and evaluates new technologies; has recommended tools or approaches for team adoption.

Competencies:
• Fully independent on most technical work; exercises good judgment consistently.
