Data Engineer – Pipeline Migration

US Citizenship Is Required For This Position Data Engineer Pipeline Migration (Req.# 7695) Fort Walton Beach, FL Pay Rate: $50.88/Hr on W2 Shift: 1st Shift , 08:00AM-04:00PM. Position Description We seek a pragmatic specialist to migrate existing analytical pipelines from Alteryx and R into Dataiku.

The focus is on executing validated, documented translations not building platform extensions or innovating on tooling. Success = production-ready SQL/Dataiku pipelines handed off to internal teams with clear lineage and zero regression in business logic.

Key Responsibilities

• Pipeline Translation: Convert R (dplyr/data.table) and Alteryx workflows into modular, optimized SQL (CTEs, window functions, set-based logic) and/or Dataiku visual/SQL recipes prioritizing correctness over elegance.
• Cloud Warehouse Execution: Deploy/test translated logic on one primary cloud platform (Redshift or Snowflake or Athena) no need for multi-cloud expertise.
• Validation & Handoff: Run unit-style validation against source pipelines; document assumptions, lineage, and deployment steps for internal teams.
• Knowledge Transfer: Conduct 2 3 focused sessions (max 1 hr each) walking data science/analytics team members through migrated pipelines and validation reports.
• Documentation: Maintain a living wiki/OneNote page with transformation logic, test results, and known limitations not formal data governance artifacts.

Skills Required

• Core SQL: Fluency in writing/optimizing queries (JOINs, CTEs, window functions) for cloud warehouses and traditional databases (Redshift/SQL Server).
• Translation Ability: Proven track record converting R/Alteryx logic to SQL or equivalent experiences (KNIME, Informatica, etc).
• Validation Mindset: Comfort building simple row-count/checksum tests to verify migration fidelity.
• Clear Communication: Ability to explain technical steps to non-engineers and document assumptions plainly.
• Self-Starter: Comfort working with minimal daily supervision; flags blockers early.

Skills Preferred Familiarity with Dataiku DSS interface (visual recipes, project structure) learnable in- Exposure to DBT concepts (understands why modular SQL matters for handoff).

• Experience with Git for version control (basic branching/PRs). Experience Required 2 4 years in data engineering with direct pipeline migration/replatforming experience (e.g., moved Alteryx to Dataiku; converted R to SQL/Python; packaged SQL to DBT, other equivalent experience).

Education Required Bachelor s degree in CS, IS, Data Engineering, or equivalent practical experience (e.g., 3+ years hands-on SQL/data pipeline work).

Education Preferred Bachelor s degree in CS, IS, Data Engineering
