Data Engineer II

Description
What We Do/Project
As part of the Studio Economics transformation, we are evolving how finance, business and technology collaborate, shifting to lean-agile, user-centric small product-oriented delivery teams (PODs) that deliver integrated, intelligent, scalable solutions, and bring together engineers, product owners, designers, data architects, and domain experts.
Each pod is empowered to own outcomes end-to-end-refining requirements, building solutions, testing, and delivering in iterative increments. We emphasize collaboration over handoffs, working software over documentation alone, and shared accountability for delivery. Engineers contribute not only code, but also to design reviews, backlog refinement, and retrospectives, ensuring decisions are transparent and scalable across pods. We prioritize reusability, automation, and continuous improvement, balancing rapid delivery with long-term maintainability.
The Data Engineer is an integral member of the Platform Pod, focused on building, maintaining, and optimizing data pipelines that deliver trusted data to product pods, analysts, and data scientists. This role works closely with the Sr Data Engineer, Data Architect, and Cloud Architect to implement pipelines aligned with enterprise standards and program goals.
