What are the responsibilities and job description for the Data Engineer position at Career Movement?
We're working with a growing home furnishings retailer that's modernizing its data infrastructure - think legacy SQL Server systems evolving into cloud-native pipelines feeding BI and emerging AI initiatives. Looking for someone who cut their teeth as a database administrator and has since built real experience with Azure cloud data services. You'll own both the keep-it-running side and the build-what's-next side, working closely with a small, high-visibility AI/ML function.
Requirements:
- Solid foundation in SQL and SQL Server administration (performance tuning, indexing, backups, security)
- Hands-on experience building and maintaining ETL pipelines, ideally with SSIS
- Proficiency in C# for custom data tooling, integrations, and automation
- Exposure to BI tools such as Power BI
- Familiarity with Azure data services (Data Factory, Synapse, or SQL Database) or a comparable cloud platform
- Comfort operating in a hybrid environment where legacy systems and modern cloud pipelines run side by side
- Ability to balance day to day operational work with longer term build projects
- Collaborative mindset for working closely with a small, high visibility AI and ML team
Nice to have:
- Experience supporting data workflows that feed machine learning or AI initiatives
- Understanding of data modeling and warehouse design
