LOCATION - 100% REMOTE - Sr Data Engineer
The City of Detroit is seeking a Senior Data Engineer. This role will provide the chance to design and build a data warehouse for the public sector. The small and collaborative nature of the team would allow for an individual to participate in all aspects of this project. The ARPA support coming to Detroit is a once in a generation opportunity for folks interested in public service.
As a Senior Data Engineer, you are responsible for supervising the team's ETL/ELT process. You will manage the data pipelines, written in Python and executed using a tool such as Airflow or Prefect, which extract data from departmental/vendor source systems into the data warehouse. These pipelines further transform the data into models which are usable by end users or user-facing systems. The Senior Data Engineer is responsible for integrating a diverse number of datasets to improve delivery to internal customers, and allow for data-led decision making.
You will be required to work with data stewards, typically in a city department or with a vendor, understand their source systems, and help solve the technical and organizational challenges that will arise as a part of the data integration process. The Senior Data Engineer also keeps the supervisor informed of progress and of potentially controversial matters.
