About the Role
Method is seeking a Senior Data Engineer to join their Data & AI team. This role involves working within multidisciplinary project teams to design and develop robust data infrastructure, pipelines, and scalable data solutions for a range of client engagements. The ideal candidate is technically grounded, consulting-minded, comfortable with ambiguity, and can contribute to client conversations about data architecture, modernization, and AI readiness.
Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and optimize data pipelines and data infrastructure across a range of client engagements.
- Contribute to data modeling, master data management, and taxonomy standardization across complex, multi-system environments.
- Build and test API integrations and prototypes, including working with static data exports and mock stubs in early-phase delivery contexts.
- Document data governance artefacts - data domains, critical data elements, quality rules, and data lineage - and support clients in building data governance capability.
- Reverse-engineer legacy systems and extract business logic from poorly documented codebases, complex spreadsheet models, or fragmented data structures.
- Collaborate with architects, designers, product managers, and client stakeholders to align data solutions with broader digital product and platform goals.
- Contribute to AI readiness assessments - evaluating data coverage, quality, schema consistency, and lineage to identify gaps and support remediation.
- Perform code reviews, mentor junior team members, and contribute to best practices across the Data & AI team.
- Communicate data architecture and pipeline design clearly using schemas, data flow diagrams, and visual artefacts, for both technical and non-technical audiences.
Requirements
- 5+ years of data engineering experience, including delivery in a consulting or client-facing environment.
- Proficiency in Python and SQL for data wrangling, transformation, and pipeline development.
- Experience in data modeling - designing master data schemas and drafting unified taxonomies across fragmented source systems.
- Master Data Management (MDM) experience: cleansing, mapping, and standardizing inconsistent data into a governed structure.
- Experience building ETL/ELT pipelines and working with cloud data platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
- Experience documenting data governance artefacts and contributing to data governance frameworks.
- Ability to reverse-engineer legacy systems and extract business logic from poorly documented codebases or complex Excel/VBA models.
- Strong communication skills - able to translate technical decisions clearly for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Comfortable operating in ambiguity and structuring a path forward without perfect requirements.
- Willing and able to ramp on new technologies as client engagements evolve.
