About the role
We are building the Data Hub, a centralized data platform responsible for consolidating legacy data infrastructure, establishing enterprise-grade data foundations, and enabling advanced analytics and AI capabilities across Precision AQ.
The Principal Data Engineer is a senior technical leader and hands-on contributor responsible for the design, implementation, optimization, and operation of the Data Hub’s core platform capabilities. This role sits at the intersection of data engineering, platform engineering, DevOps, architecture, and data governance. You will help define the technical direction of the platform while remaining actively involved in designing solutions, building infrastructure, reviewing code, troubleshooting production issues, and improving engineering practices.
This is not a management role. While you will mentor and guide junior engineers, analytics engineers, and platform contributors, you will not have direct reports. We are looking for an experienced practitioner who enjoys solving complex technical challenges, setting high engineering standards, and leading through expertise and influence rather than organizational hierarchy.
As a member of the Data Hub leadership team, you will contribute to technology strategy, roadmap prioritization, architecture governance, vendor evaluation, and executive reporting while remaining deeply engaged in day-to-day engineering activities.
