Dear hiring team,
I understand that the central requirement for this Data Engineer role is building reliable data ingestion, transformation, modeling, lineage, quality checks, and recovery for downstream users. I want to make trustworthy data the default operating condition for analysts and product teams, not a repeated cleanup project.
As Senior Data Engineer, I held both execution and review responsibility. As workstream lead, I built Azure data pipelines that load operational extracts into curated tables, using SQL merge logic with explicit keys and late-arrival rules. I tested reprocessing without duplicating records.
Within that same senior scope, I also owned the following work. With responsibility for the review standard, I added SQL reconciliation and quarantine checks to the data pipelines, retaining rejected rows with a reason code. I traced an upstream schema change before it reached the reporting layer.
I would welcome the opportunity to discuss the decisions and delivery I owned, and how I could apply that experience in this role.
Sincerely,
J. Lee
