Job Overview
We are seeking an experienced Data Engineer II to join our team of innovators at FedEx Dataworks. As a Data Engineer II, you will play a critical role in delivering engineering innovation within Dataworks, helping to execute the delivery of key business initiatives. You will act as a "universal translator" between IT, business, software engineers, and data scientists, collaborating with multi-disciplinary teams to drive business outcomes. Your expertise will be essential in contributing to the adherence of technical standards for data engineering, including the selection and refinement of foundational technical components.
Key Responsibilities
Understand in-depth both the business and technical problems Dataworks aims to solve, and develop solutions to address them
Build tools, platforms, and pipelines to enable teams to clearly and cleanly analyze data, build models, and drive decisions
Scale up from "laptop-scale" to "cluster scale" problems, in terms of both infrastructure and problem structure and technique
Deliver tangible value rapidly, collaborating with diverse teams of varying backgrounds and disciplines
Follow best practices for future reuse in the form of accessible, reusable patterns, templates, and code bases
Interact with peer technologists from the broader enterprise and outside of FedEx (partner ecosystems and customers) to create synergies and ensure smooth deployments to downstream operational systems
Essential Qualifications
To be successful in this role, you will need:
A technical background in computer science, software engineering, database systems, or distributed systems
Experience with distributed and cloud environments, and an adequate understanding of how to balance computational considerations with theoretical properties
Detailed knowledge of the Microsoft Azure tooling for large-scale data engineering efforts and deployments is highly preferred
Experience with designing and deploying large-scale technical solutions that deliver tangible, ongoing value
Direct experience having built and deployed robust, complex production systems that implement modern, data scientific methods at scale
Ability to context-switch, provide support to dispersed teams, and work through problems as they are still being defined
Demonstrated ability to deliver technical projects with a team, often working under tight time constraints to deliver value
An "engineering" mindset, willing to make rapid, pragmatic decisions to improve performance, accelerate progress, or magnify impact
Preferred Qualifications
While not required, the following qualifications are preferred:
Experience with Spark (Scala and PySpark), HDFS, Kafka, and other high-volume data tools
Knowledge of SQL and NoSQL storage tools, such as MySQL, Postgres, Cassandra, MongoDB, and Elastic Search
Familiarity with Pandas, Scikit-Learn, Matplotlib, TensorFlow, Jupyter, and other Python data tools
Experience with agile and DevOps practices for project and software management, including continuous integration and continuous delivery
Education and Experience
The minimum education required for this role is a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related quantitative field such as Engineering or Mathematics. Alternatively, equivalent formal training or work experience may be considered. The minimum experience required is two years of equivalent work experience in measurement and analysis, quantitative business problem-solving, simulation development, and/or predictive analytics.
