Role Overview – Remote Data Engineer (Forecasting Core)

We are seeking a highly motivated Remote Data Engineer to join the arenaflex Estimating Group. This team pioneers the design and delivery of data pipelines that feed AI models and analytics tools used to forecast demand, optimize inventory, and drive strategic decision‑making across the globe. The position is fully remote, offering you the flexibility to work from any location while collaborating with a world‑class team of engineers, product managers, data scientists, and business analysts.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain scalable ETL/ELT pipelines on AWS services (Redshift, S3, EMR, Glue, Kinesis, Lambda, etc.) that ingest, transform, and store petabytes of structured and semi‑structured data.
• Collaborate with data scientists to understand model data requirements and ensure high‑quality, low‑latency data delivery for forecasting workloads.
• Develop and enforce data governance standards, including metadata management, data lineage, and security policies (IAM, encryption, access controls).
• Optimize existing pipelines for performance, cost‑efficiency, and reliability, leveraging serverless architectures and auto‑scaling features.
• Partner with product owners to translate business logic into robust data models, supporting downstream analytics and reporting tools.
• Conduct root‑cause analysis of data quality issues, implement automated testing frameworks, and drive continuous improvement.
• Document architecture diagrams, data dictionaries, and operational runbooks to facilitate knowledge sharing across the organization.
• Mentor junior engineers, conduct code reviews, and champion best practices in data engineering and cloud security.

Day‑to‑Day at arenaflex

In a typical day, you’ll start by reviewing the health of your pipelines via CloudWatch dashboards, then join a stand‑up with the forecasting squad to align on upcoming feature releases. You’ll spend a few hours deep‑diving into a new data source—perhaps clickstream logs or supplier inventory feeds—designing a schema that captures the nuances required for accurate demand prediction. By afternoon, you’ll be collaborating with a data scientist to prototype a new feature store, iterating on performance benchmarks, and documenting the results for the broader team. The day ends with a quick sync with the security team to verify compliance with new data‑privacy regulations.

Essential Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field (Master’s preferred).
• Minimum 2 years of hands‑on experience building data pipelines in a production environment.
• Proficiency with SQL and at least one programming language commonly used in data engineering (Python, Scala, or Java).
• Demonstrated experience with AWS data services (Redshift, S3, Glue, EMR, Kinesis, Lambda).
• Strong understanding of data modeling, schema design, and data warehousing concepts.
• Ability to translate complex business requirements into technical specifications and deliver reliable solutions.

Preferred Qualifications & Nice‑to‑Have Skills

• 3 + years of experience in large‑scale data engineering, preferably within a forecasting or supply‑chain context.
• Hands‑on experience with non‑relational data stores (e.g., DynamoDB, Cassandra, Neo4j, or GraphQL APIs).
• Familiarity with container orchestration (ECS, EKS) and infrastructure‑as‑code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation).
• Exposure to machine‑learning pipelines and feature‑store concepts.
• Knowledge of data governance frameworks (e.g., GDPR, CCPA) and security best practices.
• Excellent communication skills, with a track record of influencing cross‑functional stakeholders.

Core Skills & Competencies

• Analytical mindset: Ability to dissect large data sets, identify patterns, and propose data‑driven solutions.
• Problem‑solving agility: Comfortable tackling ambiguous challenges and iterating quickly under tight deadlines.
• Collaboration: Proven experience working in distributed, remote teams, using tools such as Slack, Jira, Confluence, and Git.
• Ownership: Takes end‑to‑end responsibility for data quality, pipeline reliability, and operational excellence.
• Continuous learning: Keeps up with emerging data technologies, cloud services, and industry best practices.
