A well-known company in the aerospace and defense space is hiring a Data Engineer to tighten up how its data is built, defined and trusted. This is one of the better remote jobs USA candidates will find this month, because the work sits right at the base of everything else the business does with data, from daily operations to analytics and AI projects.
You’ll sit between the business side and the technical side. People will come to you with plain-English needs, and you’ll turn those into data models, standards and documentation the whole team can lean on. It’s a work from home job, so you can do it from wherever you live in the United States.
What you’ll do as a Data Engineer
- Design and refine logical and physical data models
- Maintain the metadata repository and the official definitions everyone agrees on
- Build and monitor data quality rules, then put together plans to fix what breaks
- Document data lineage, mappings and how data moves through its lifecycle
- Support integration work, including source-to-target designs
- Help get the company’s data ready for analytics and AI initiatives
- Write clear documentation across the different data domains
Who this WFH job is for
- Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent certification in a related area
- 5 or more years in a related field
- Strong data modeling and schema design skills
- Experience with CRM or workflow systems, ideally Salesforce
- You can take a business requirement and turn it into a workable technical solution
- Experience with data governance and working across teams
- Good writing, since documentation is a big part of the job
- Experience getting data ready for analytics or AI work
Pay and benefits
The salary range is $100,000 to $120,000 a year. Beyond the paycheck, the package is better than most WFH jobs:
- Health, dental and vision insurance
- Paid time off and holidays
- 401(k) with company matching
- Education reimbursement
- Parental leave
- Employee stock purchase plan
