Principal Data Engineer - Up to $500,000
We're currently working with a leading, tech-driven Asset Management firm, which is looking for a very senior Data Engineer to join the engineering function for a new Data Science & Analytics division they have created.
This group faces off with the Data Scientists in the Front Office and has a direct impact on the bottom line. This technology function prospects new, cutting-edge data sources and integrates them into the current Data Lake, allowing the Data Scientists to create more efficient ML models and better trading decisions.
You'll be joining a small group of data engineers to build a massively distributed data analytics platform, working with a host of modern Big Data tools to push/pull data across the entire firm. This is a senior role, looking for someone who can define the technical direction of the team and also comfortably face off with business stakeholders (Data Scientists and Analysts).
