Job Summary

At Toptal, we measure everything and always rely on data to guide all of our initiatives, including both our long-term strategy and our day-to-day operations. As a Principal Data Engineer, your primary goal is to be one step ahead. You will support Business Analysts, Data Analysts, and Data Scientists by providing infrastructure and tools they can use to deliver end-to-end solutions and business insights. This is more than building and maintaining ETL pipelines—we need innovation, creativity, and solutions that will have a significant impact on our velocity and business impact. We, in turn, will give you autonomy and freedom to turn your ideas into reality.

This is a remote position. We do not offer visa sponsorship or assistance. Resumes and communication must be submitted in English.

Responsibilities

• Lead and contribute to architecting and building a modern data stack that is scalable, maintainable, and highly-performant. This includes building frameworks, data pipelines, and other data infrastructure using a variety of raw data sources.
• Collaborate with data source providers both internal and external to set rules, processes, and checks that ensure data availability and integrity.
• Monitor and maintain the data pipelines and ETL processes to proactively remediate issues and preserve data availability.
• Support the migration from legacy orchestration systems and ETL, including migrating pipelines reading from internal databases and APIs, remapping data sources, and translating transformation logic.
• Ensure proper governance practices and effective documentation are implemented throughout the ETL migration process.
• Communicate with team members and convey results efficiently and clearly.
