Job Description:

HTC Global Services is seeking a senior Data Engineer experienced with building data movement and data curation processes using modern toolsets including Snowflake, Python, YAML, and Azure Data Factory. This is NOT a traditional data modeling and ETL batch data processing role. This role will primarily be:

• Designing, coding, and testing Python scripts to deliver prescribed business outcomes.
• Conducting detailed data analysis in response to both trouble tickets and new development.
• Providing real-time technical support during U.S. business hours.

The varied and non-traditional mix of technologies and processes at play will require the successful candidate to be a very fast learner and a strong experienced problem-solver.
The core project involves acquiring and transforming data from various source systems and curating that data for consumption by a customer-facing portal. While this is primarily an individual contributor role, the role will also serve as an onshore coordinator for a larger offshore development team.
Our client is a Pennsylvania-based transportation and logistics company. This role is primarily remote though, so candidates may reside anywhere in the United States. Be advised however that occasional travel (10-15%) may be required as the needs of the project dictate.

Required People Skills:

• Professional, confident, and cordial demeanor.
• Excellent communication skills - both oral and written.
• Proven ability to operate in dynamic environments and still deliver quality outcomes on a timely basis.
• Self-motivated, proactive, efficient, and highly organized.
• Strong desire and proven ability to learn new things quickly.
• Ability to work independently, with a high level of performance, with minimal direct supervision.
• Ability to smoothly collaborate with client and team resources to ensure results meet the defined business needs and exceed client expectations.
• Experience coordinating the efforts of geographically distributed team members.
• Ability to travel occasionally (10-15%) as required.

Required Technical Skills:

• 5+ years of experience implementing, enhancing, or supporting data solutions in support of downstream applications.
• Proven ability to write, refine, and troubleshoot highly efficient data manipulation code using Python, PySpark, and YAML.
• Proven experience working in technical support role - particularly for web applications and their underlying databases.
• Direct experience working with Snowflake databases.
• Ability to create and manage pipelines in Azure Data Factory.
• Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting skills - especially the ability to identify and resolve processing issues in near real time.
• Strong communication skills - particularly in terms of interacting with business users and teammates to quickly analyze and resolve both production issues and novel development challenges.

Value Add Skills: (helpful but not required):

• Direct experience working in the Transportation and Logistics industry.
• Direct hands-on experience working with the SnowPark toolset for data movement and transformation.
• Direct hands-on experience working with Databricks tools and environments.
• Advanced programming skills in C#, PowerShell, Python, or other equivalent modern programming languages.
• Experience working in the Jira Agile project management toolset.
• Relevant certifications in the toolsets of interest.
