An Insight Global client in the Houston area is looking for a Data Engineer to join their team for a contract opportunity. The client is seeking a highly skilled professional with experience in designing and implementing large-scale Data Lakes and Data Warehouses in the cloud. The ideal candidate will have expertise in using one or more query languages (e.g., SQL, HiveQL, SPARQL), schema definition languages (e.g., DDL, SDL, XSD, RDF), and scripting languages (e.g., Python, Scala) to build robust data solutions. A strong understanding of distributed system concepts from both storage and compute perspectives is essential, including data persistence solutions (e.g., HDFS vs RDBMS), data integration techniques (e.g., ETL vs federation), database optimization (e.g., partitioning, distribution, indexing), and join algorithms (e.g., hash vs nested loop). Additionally, experience in CI/CD automation for a data lake using CDK (Cloud Development Kit) or Terraform is highly desirable.
