Critical Mass
Data Engineer
Critical Mass, San Jose, CA
The Data Engineer facilitates the flow of oftentimes massive quantities of raw files from various disparate locations into well-harmonized tables. Much is made of the potential to use data to solve the world's problems - the data engineer knows that this "data" is useless unless it can be organized into analyzable bits...and that its most likely a mess. No problem: data engineers are at the vanguard of the Marketing Science team, taking raw and largely unusable information and refining it into the stuff of predictive models. At the vanguard of our marketing science organization, the data engineer solves problems "on the ground," many times with little documentation and vague direction from business stakeholders; they pave the way for fruitful analysis by turning chaos into functional process.
