Role: Data Engineer|W2 Only
Location: Remote 100%

Role focus:
This person would review and improve our data lake documentation in Unity Catalog, trace the upstream data pipelines that generate the data, and update business-friendly definitions so the documentation reflects how the data is actually created and used.
Core responsibilities:
•    Review existing Unity Catalog table and field documentation and identify gaps, inaccuracies, and missing business context
•    Analyze upstream data pipelines and SQL logic to understand how data is sourced, transformed, and published
•    Document approved data use cases, including how specific datasets should be used for reporting, analysis, and AI/LLM scenarios
•    Document data restrictions, including sensitive data considerations, inappropriate use cases, and areas where definitions or quality are not strong enough for broad agent or LLM use
•    Help identify and structure use cases where LLMs or agents could responsibly interact with the data
•    Test LLM responses against documented definitions and use cases to evaluate whether outputs are accurate, safe, and grounded in the intended business context
•    Flag gaps in metadata, definitions, lineage, data quality, and ownership that must be addressed before wider AI enablement
Skills needed:
•    Strong SQL skills
•    Experience working with data lake, warehouse, or analytics environments
•    Ability to read and reason through data pipelines and transformation logic
•    Strong documentation skills, especially translating technical logic into business-friendly definitions
•    Comfortable leading discovery conversations with technical and business stakeholders
•    Familiarity with data governance, data quality, semantic definitions, and responsible AI / LLM validation is strongly preferred
