Senior Data Engineer

Remote

Document the existing flow, source interfaces, transformations, and failure modes during

handover.

• Automate ingestion, validation, deduplication, and incremental updates from approved sources.

• Make source onboarding repeatable and reduce the validated backlog.

• Implement safe retries, checkpoints, replay/backfill, and quarantine without silent loss or

duplication.

• Reconcile record counts and maintain metadata, source identifiers, and lineage.

• Detect schema changes, apply quality checks, and investigate pipeline failures.

• Maintain matching-service interfaces and contribute to agreed ML/matching changes.

• Test embedding and indexing consistency, compatibility, and matching quality.

• Work with DevOps on logs and alerts for freshness, failures, throughput, latency, and cost.

• Maintain tests, deployment discipline, and runbooks for independent operation and recovery.

• Implement approved consent, access, separation, retention, and deletion rules; report unresolved

mappings.

• Clarify requirements, report progress, and escalate unresolved legal decisions to the client.
