Job Description

The Core Data team builds and scales the data platform and analytics capabilities that power decision-making across RV Tech. Within Core Data, the Vehicle Catalog team owns the vehicle domain - ingesting, curating, and organizing vehicle data for analytics, ML, and BI use cases used by hundreds of stakeholders across dozens of domain teams.

We are migrating the Vehicle Catalog to a new Databricks account while simultaneously building out a new vehicle catalog on that platform. As a Sr. Data Engineer, you will help us refactor and move the existing ETL/ELT and analytics pipelines into the new environment, migrate the underlying data, and validate that everything lands correctly.

This is hands-on migration work. You'll be working alongside our engineers on well-defined pipelines with clear acceptance criteria, and you'll pick up related migration requests - including dashboard and reporting migrations - as they come up. 

What You'll Do

  • Work with one of our Staff Data Engineers to understand the migration plan, sequence your work against it, and provide regular progress updates.

  • Refactor existing ETL/ELT code written in PySpark, DABs and dbt from the current Databricks environment to meet the patterns and standards of the new account.

  • Migrate data pipelines and their underlying datasets, including backfills, and validate parity between source and target.

  • Build and run reconciliation checks - row counts, schema conformance, freshness, completeness - to confirm migrated data matches the legacy environment.

  • Migrate dashboards and downstream reporting assets to point at the new datasets, coordinating with the analysts who own them.

  • Update orchestration, scheduling, alerting, and runbooks so migrated pipelines are supportable after cutover.

  • Troubleshoot pipeline failures and data discrepancies during and after cutover.

  • Document what was migrated, what changed, and anything the team needs to know to own it going forward.

  • Take on adjacent migration and data engineering requests as the program evolves.
