Software Engineer III - Data - FMX

Implement new ingestion sources end-to-end against a senior engineer's design — connector code, DAG, schema, monitoring, and catalog registration — extending the team's existing framework where a new source needs a pattern it doesn't yet support

Investigate pipeline failures independently, recognize known classes of issues, and ship the documented fix without needing to escalate

Before shipping a new pipeline, identify downstream consumers and what would break if data were late or wrong, and flag gaps like this during spec review — before writing code

Write clear handovers when escalating a genuinely unresolved issue — what you tried, what you ruled out, and where things diverge — so a senior can pick up without re-discovery

Review peers' pipeline PRs and catch non-obvious issues (e.g., missing idempotency checks, race conditions) that could cause incorrect downstream data

Turn ambiguous "why is this data wrong?" questions into structured investigations — tracing data lineage from source to warehouse and communicating back what you found

Surface concerns in spec review as specific, well-reasoned questions rather than staying silent or blocking progress

Support data security and governance work (e.g., PII masking, access controls) and contribute to data delivery work, including reverse ETL integrations

Build strong working relationships with internal stakeholders and help scope and clarify requirements for new work

Mentor DE2s on their first significant projects — pairing on tricky decisions and helping them apply team conventions

3–5 years of professional software or data engineering experience

Strong SQL and Python skills, with solid experience building and operating production data pipelines

Comfort investigating and root-causing pipeline issues independently before escalating

Experience with workflow orchestration tools (Airflow or similar) and a cloud data warehouse/lakehouse (Snowflake, Databricks, or similar)

Solid understanding of data pipeline concepts: idempotency, schema evolution, backfills, and data quality/testing

Experience giving substantive code review feedback, not just style or formatting comments

Strong communication skills — can write a clear technical handover, ask sharp questions in spec review, and explain a data lineage investigation to a non-technical stakeholder

A track record of taking ownership of known-class problems end-to-end rather than needing step-by-step direction

Experience extending or building reusable pipeline frameworks/templates

Exposure to reverse ETL tools or patterns, PII masking, or data access governance (RBAC)

Exposure to observability/monitoring tooling (e.g., Datadog) for pipeline health and alerting

Some experience mentoring or informally supporting more junior engineers

Background in gaming, betting, e-commerce, or another regulated/high-compliance industry

Real ownership over known-class problems, with senior/staff support available for the genuinely novel ones

Work on high-visibility, high-trust systems that the business depends on

A culture built around clear tenets: standardize before you scale, own the outcome (not just the ticket), and clarity over complexity

Clear growth path into Senior Data Engineer, with room to start mentoring and shaping team practices along the way
