Description
The technology team at DE Shaw ships on Fridays without flinching, and the Data Engineer we hire will understand why that matters. This UT role reads like an upgrade — $79,000 - $119,000, contract hours, 4 years valued, and a path that does not dead-end.
Key Responsibilities
- Support migration of on-premise services to cloud-native architecture
- Reproduce the empowering bug from the Sandy field report, then make it impossible again
- Sketch RAG sequence diagrams that make the technology flow obvious to everyone
- Watch Process Improvement error budgets and pump the brakes before Sandy, UT burns through them
- Guard the Power BI codebase quality through reviews that teach as much as they catch
- Keep DE Shaw's Excel dependencies patched before the CVEs become incidents
- Champion engineering excellence and continuous learning within DE Shaw
- Wrangle Excel config across environments so Sandy staging mirrors production
What You'll Bring
- The grit to debug at 4pm on a Friday without complaint
- The diplomacy to align stakeholders who don't agree yet
- Proven leadership experience guiding mid-level-level initiatives
- Track record that proves you can impact-driven ship under deadline pressure
- Comfort being the newest person in the room and the loudest in the notes
- The discipline to document while it's fresh, not after it's forgotten
- Roughly 5+ years operating in a similar Data Engineer position
Out of a converted warehouse in Sandy, DE Shaw has quietly grown into a craft-focused force shaping how technology gets done. We move fast on Continuous Learning but slow down whenever someone says they feel rushed past good judgment.
We trade fair $79,000 - $119,000 for your talent and throw in mentorship, benefits, and a flexibility policy people actually use.
Fresh as of this morning, DE Shaw marked the mid-level seat available.
