Data Engineering, Advisor

Become a Data Engineering Advisor at Southern California Edison (SCE) and build a better tomorrow. In this job, you'll be responsible for developing data integration pipelines (ETL) sourcing from various databases and systems. The advisor will develop programs using coding languages (i.e. Python, SQL) and/or low-code environments (i.e., Palantir Foundry) to create analyses and applications for stakeholders throughout the company. The candidate is therefore expected to work on data architecture, data engineering solutions, and best practices for analyzing very large datasets. Additionally, the candidate will perform data mining activities to derive insights, work with cloud OLAP systems (e.g., Snowflake), and keep abreast of new and current data engineering techniques.
