Overview:

The Data Engineer is responsible for the creation, maintenance, and continuous improvement of data pipelines. Part of the responsibilities is to implement best practices in data management practices (i.e., cleaning, validation, and transformation of data) and make data into usable datasets that can easily be consumed by other teams.

What you will do:

This domain knowledge is crucial in the creation of data models and development of the said data models for Zone 2 and Zone 3 data (a.k.a. silver and gold layer, respectively). This expertise ensures that DE-transformed business datasets are usable for downstream teams.
