Role
Who you are
- A bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, or a related field
- 5+ years of experience in data engineering and analytics technical strategy
- Proficiency in data engineering tech stack: Python / SQL / dbt / Airflow / Gitlab
- Proficiency in relational and cloud database platforms such as Snowflake, Redshift, or GCP
- Thorough knowledge of data modeling, database design, data architecture principles, data operations, and CI/CD
- Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, with the capability to simplify complex issues into actionable plans
- Experience with sensitive or regulated data and access controls
- Experience with AI agents or LLM-assisted analytics, and with the HR / People function, is advantageous
What the job involves
- We are looking for a talented and detail-oriented Sr Data Engineer to tackle data challenges.
- You will design, build, and maintain critical data pipelines and datasets, supporting areas like recruiting, compensation, talent management, and learning and development.
- Your work will enhance data accessibility and empower the People Team and business leaders to make informed decisions with high-quality, reliable data
- Develop and maintain robust data pipelines and datasets
- Build foundational data products for key business areas
- Enhance self-service data capabilities for the People Team
- Ensure high standards in ETL/ELT operations, data quality, and pipeline reliability
- Design and build production dbt models in Snowflake that integrate Workday and other People systems into well-modeled, documented datasets, including slowly changing dimensions for People history
- Build and operate Airflow DAGs that ingest People systems data and orchestrate dbt runs, keeping loads reliable and re-runnable
- Own data quality and observability: dbt tests, freshness checks, row-count validation, and monitoring so issues are caught before stakeholders see them
- Implement and maintain row-level security and access controls for People data, partnering with governance and security teams
- Build and maintain semantic models and AI agents, held to the same modeling, access, and quality standards as our pipelines
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, such as other data engineers, people analysts, data scientists, and business stakeholders, to translate requirements into production-ready deliverables, and communicate technical trade-offs to non-technical partners
- Enforce data governance policies and practices to maintain data integrity, security, and compliance with relevant regulations
- Mentor other engineers through code review, modeling standards, and technical guidance
Our take
SoFi started by offering ways for students to secure better financial terms on their loans, and now offers a huge range of personal finance products, including bank accounts, loans, mortgages, investment advice, and investment opportunities. Many customers find they have to go to multiple financial service providers to meet all their finance needs, but SoFi overcomes this issue by putting it all in one place.
Its goal, to cover all the financial bases, sets it apart from many of the traditional banks and even some of their digital competitors, such as Avant, which has chosen to focus on providing credit alternatives. Although it is operating in a competitive market with a lot of big players such as Monzo, Revolut, and Starling, the company has managed to raise huge amounts of funding to support its rapid expansion.
SoFi has focussed on global expansion, moving outside the US, and has made a series of acquisitions to support this - including a Hong Kong-based investment app called 8 Securities. After going public on the New York Stock Exchange via a SPAC merger in June 2021, the company has continued to evolve and release more mission-oriented services into its roster and has strengthened its lending capabilities through a $350 million post-IPO loan. To date, the company has funded over $117 billion in loans and continues to strengthen its offering.
