Position overview:

The ideal candidate is a US-based Senior Data Engineer who can step into an established enterprise data warehouse environment as a hands-on contributor and a peer-level thought partner to the client's data leadership. This role requires someone who can hit the ground running on a complex Oracle and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) stack, plus AWS, bring opinionated patterns and alternatives to the table, and operate independently without day-to-day direction.

The successful candidate will balance maintaining a stable, well-established production environment with helping shape the next generation of the platform, including the team's adoption of Apache Iceberg, lakehouse patterns, and cloud-native ETL.

Responsibilities:

• Build and maintain data flow and transformation patterns across an enterprise Oracle data warehouse environment.

• Partner with the client database and platform teams to manage external tables, flat files, and high-volume batch ingestion.

• Identify and implement performance optimizations at the storage, query, and orchestration layers, including across a long-standing production warehouse with accumulated business logic.

• Maintain and extend cloud-to-Oracle integration patterns, the data catalog layer, and shell-script-based orchestration jobs.

• Operate and evolve the existing ETL stack while contributing to the evaluation and adoption of Oracle-native data transform tools.

• Contribute hands-on to the buildout of a hybrid lakehouse using Apache Iceberg, OCI Object Storage, Parquet, and external table patterns.

• Prepare for an upcoming shift in source ingestion toward cloud object storage and a data lake delivery pattern.

• Perform light Linux server administration and performance tuning on existing ETL infrastructure.

• Act as a collaborative thought partner with senior client stakeholders, proposing alternatives and surfacing patterns rather than waiting for prescriptive direction.

• Support potential future workstreams including master data management and golden record initiatives once data foundations are matured.

Requirements:

• 5+ years of hands-on data engineering experience in Oracle-centric enterprise data warehouse environments.

• Current, hands-on experience with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), specifically OCI Object Storage, OCI Data Transforms, Oracle Data Catalog, and OCI ETL patterns. Candidates needing ramp-up on OCI fundamentals will not be considered.

• Strong Oracle expertise, including advanced SQL, complex joins, performance tuning, and the ability to navigate a mature data warehouse with significant legacy business logic.

• Dimensional modeling proficiency, including star schemas, facts and dimensions, and slowly changing dimensions.

• Working knowledge of lakehouse concepts, including the role of object storage in a hybrid data warehouse and lakehouse architecture.

• Solid core ETL and ELT skills, including orchestration, error handling, dependency management, and high-volume batch ingestion.

• Working knowledge of Linux, including shell scripting, SSH-based administration, and basic server maintenance.

• Working knowledge of Java sufficient to read, debug, and lightly modify Java-based ETL components.

• Excellent written and verbal communication. Able to operate as a peer-level collaborator with senior client subject matter experts.

• US-based with Eastern Time business-hours overlap.

Preferred qualifications:

• Hands-on Apache Iceberg experience, including table format, metadata layer, and migration patterns.

• Production Pentaho experience.

• Experience with AWS S3 to Oracle ingestion patterns and cloud-to-warehouse data lake integration.

• Exposure to high-volume transactional reporting domains.

• Master Data Management or golden record program experience.

• Background in data warehouse modernization or lakehouse migration projects.

Compensation:
$126,000 – $147,000 USD/year (or $10,500 – $12,250 USD/month)

Background checks may be required for certain positions/projects.
