The Boeing Company is looking for Data Engineers to join our team in Seattle, Washington. This position supports the development and sustainment of cloud data infrastructure for the Safety Data Analytics (SDA) program in Boeing Global Services (BGS) Training, Digital & Analytics (TD&A). The position will be fully on-site.

Our teams are currently hiring for a broad range of experience levels including; Mid-Level and Senior Data Engineers.

In this role, you will be part of a growing team of Data Engineers that is working to build and maintain data infrastructure that processes large amounts of commercial airplane flight data, making curated datasets available for data consumers through a Delta Lake in Azure Databricks and a data warehouse in Google Cloud BigQuery. You will partner directly with Architects, Data Scientists, Software Developers, and Business Intelligence Analysts to define technical requirements for highly scalable streaming and batch data pipeline features; then you will design, implement, test, and support these features. An attention to detail and obsession with quality is a must, because the data products that our Data Engineering team produces serve both internally facing and externally facing applications.

A successful candidate will be a self-starter who understands the importance of collaborating with partner teams to fully define functional requirements before starting technical work. This role requires prior experience managing and analyzing data at scale in Azure Databricks and/or Google Cloud Platform (Google Cloud Platform) along with a dependable aptitude for Python/Spark, Containers, and DevOps to deliver scalable Cloud Data Engineering solutions. Prior experience managing and analyzing aerospace flight data (QAR/CPL, CVR/FDR, and/or ADS-B) at scale is highly desirable. Candidates with ETL and workflow orchestration in both Google Cloud Platform and Azure Databricks are desired, as our team will support an existing container-based Google Cloud Platform data infrastructure until our migration to Azure Databricks is complete.

The Safety Data Analytics program is a multi-disciplinary team of data professionals, Analytical Insights Managers, and Pilots who work together to identify and communicate data-driven insights to external aerospace customers, with the end goal of making flying safer. Join us, as our Data Engineering team creates a new generation of scalability and efficiency for data consumers in an Azure Databricks Delta Lake.

Position Responsibilities:

• Support the development and improvement of streaming, batch data pipelines in Azure Databricks and/or Google Cloud Platform to provide curated datasets of airplane flight data to partner teams
• Partner with internal stakeholders to define desired user experiences with data; use these requirements to design orchestration strategies, data models, and partition strategies that optimize performance and cost of data curation and access
• Use Python, PySpark, and/or Scala to programmatically analyze, reduce, transform, and load datasets that are too large for in-memory, computer-based workflows
• Develop Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) and analytics processes that consume data from: (1) unstructured files and sources, (2) SQL / NoSQL datastores, and (3) messaging queues / streams
• Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines used to automate DevOps tasks
• Build, test, and deploy container workers for serverless, scalable ETL workflow orchestration
• Implement testing and alerts that identify undesirable performance in codebases and data pipelines
• Analyze large, cloud-based datasets to identify, disposition, and explain the root cause for unanticipated data trends
• Develop and maintain partnerships while working in a cross-functional team of Data Engineers, Data Scientists, Software Developers, and Business Intelligence Analysts
• Implement access-control and security systems for compliance with data governance policies
• Exercise critical thinking and innovative problem solving
• Ensure commitments and service levels are achieved or exceeded

• 2+ years of experience developing and maintaining ETL workflow orchestration using tools like Apache Airflow, Google Cloud Platform Workflows, or Databricks Workflows
• 2+ years developing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines
• 1+ years of experience with PySpark or Scala
• Experience working with aerospace datasets including timeseries flight data (QAR/CPL, CVR/FDR, and/or ADS-B) at scale is highly desirable
• Experience working in a role that develops Data Engineering solutions as part of a cross-functional team that includes Data Engineering, Data Science, Software Engineers, and/or Business Intelligence Analysts
