Job Description:

JOB TITLE: Data Engineer II

DURATION: 5 MONTHS

LOCATION: ONSITE IN SEATTLE. WA

PAY RATE: $57 - $67 HOURLY

Job Description:

Our mission is to eliminate operational bottlenecks through automation and AI, creating the technical foundation that enables breakthrough sustainability innovations essential for net zero.

Responsibilities

As a Data Engineer on the team, you will be working with business-critical sustainability data pipelines. You will be responsible for migrating production ETL jobs from legacy data platforms to modern infrastructure, ensuring zero disruption to operations that drive corporate carbon footprinting, quarterly business reviews, and customer-facing sustainability communications.

You will establish the technical foundation for our data infrastructure by setting up workflow orchestration platforms in new accounts. You will translate existing data workflows into scalable pipelines, implementing robust validation to ensure data consistency and quality throughout the migration.

You will work across multiple critical data domains including sales data, active device telemetry, transportation carbon emissions, energy consumption metrics, sustainability badging workflows, and executive reporting dashboards. You will partner with Science team members who own carbon calculation methodologies and program teams who depend on these pipelines for daily operations, understanding their requirements and ensuring migrated solutions support their analytical and operational needs.

You will coordinate with upstream data owners to secure access permissions, collaborate with platform teams to troubleshoot integration issues, and communicate migration progress and risks to stakeholders across the organization. Clear communication will be essential as you navigate dependencies across multiple teams and ensure alignment on migration timelines and success criteria.

You will be responsible for comprehensive documentation of the new architecture, including data lineage, dependencies, monitoring strategies, and operational runbooks. This documentation will enable the team to maintain and evolve the infrastructure after your engagement completes. You will implement data quality checks and alerting to proactively identify issues before they impact downstream consumers.
