About FedEx Dataworks:
Born out of FedEx, a pioneer that ships nearly 20 million packages a day and manages endless threads of information, FedEx Dataworks is an organization rooted in connecting the physical and digital sides of our network to meet today's needs and address tomorrow's challenges.
We are creating opportunities for FedEx, our customers, and the world at large by:
Exploring and harnessing data to define and solve true problems
Removing barriers between data sets to create new avenues of insight
Building and iterating on solutions that generate value
Acting as a change agent to advance curiosity and performance
At FedEx Dataworks, we are making supply chains work smarter for everyone.
Summary: The Data Engineer III plays a pivotal role within Dataworks, focused on driving engineering innovation within Dataworks, helping define and build the Dataworks organization and leading the delivery of key business initiatives. He or she acts as a "universal translator" between IT, business, software engineers and data scientists, collaborating with these multi-disciplinary teams. The Data Engineer III will contribute to the adherence of technical standards for data engineering, including the selection and refinements of foundational technical components. Swill work on those aspects of the Dataworks platform that govern the ingestion, transformation, and pipelining of data assets, both to end users within FedEx and into data products and services that may be externally facing. Day-to-day, he or she will be deeply involved in code reviews and large-scale deployments. He or she will also provide mentorship and guidance to junior engineers to support the continued training and up-skilling of the Data Engineering team.
Under limited supervision, supports the design, build, test and maintenance of data pipelines at big data scale. Assists with updating data from multiple data sources. Other functionalities under limited supervision include working on batch processing of collected data and matching its format to the stored data, making sure that the data is ready to be processed and analyzed. Assists with keeping the ecosystem and the pipeline optimized and efficient, troubleshooting standard performance, data related problems and providing L3 support. Implements ETL transformers to reformat and enhance the data. Provides recommendations to complex problems. Provides guidance to those in less senior positions.
Job Description / Responsibilities:
Building tools, platforms and pipelines to enable teams to clearly and cleanly analyze data, build models and drive decisions
Scaling up from "laptop-scale" to "cluster scale" problems, in terms of both infrastructure and problem structure and techniques
Delivering tangible value very rapidly, collaborating with complementary teams of varying backgrounds and subject areas
Championing the adherence to best practices for future reuse in the form of accessible, reusable patterns, templates, and code bases
Interacting with senior technologists from the broader enterprise and outside of FedEx (partner ecosystems and customers) to create synergies and ensure smooth deployments to downstream operational systems
Design, implement and optimize ETL processes, data ingestion, and integration workflows on cloud environments
Implement best practices for data management, including data quality and security.
Implement cloud-based data storage solutions, leveraging technologies for performance and cost efficiency
Identify opportunities for automation and process improvement within the data engineering workflow.
Stay updated with emerging technologies and trends in data engineering to enhance our systems and processes.
Technical background in computer science, software engineering, database systems, distributed systems
Fluency with distributed and cloud environments and a strong 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
A track record of designing and deploying large scale technical solutions, which 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, to provide support to dispersed teams which may need an "expert hacker" to unblock an especially challenging technical obstacle, and to 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 impacy
Comfort with working with distributed teams on code-based deliverables, using version control systems and code reviews
Ability to conduct data analysis, investigation, and lineage studies to document and enhance data quality and access quickly while adopting new and evolving technologies and apply to projects.
Use of agile and devops practices for project and software management including continuous integration and continuous delivery
Demonstrated expertise working with some of the following common languages and tools:
Spark (Scala and PySpark), HDFS, Kafka and other high volume data tools
SQL and NoSQL storage tools, such as MySQL, Postgres, Cassandra, MongoDB and ElasticSearch
Pandas, Scikit-Learn, Matplotlib, TensorFlow, Jupyter and other Python data tools
Solid understanding of data modeling, data architecture, and data management principles.
Proven track record of solving complex problems and delivering high-quality, scalable solutions.
