  • Comfort investigating and root-causing pipeline issues independently before escalating
  • Experience with workflow orchestration tools (Airflow or similar) and a cloud data warehouse/lakehouse (Snowflake, Databricks, or similar)
  • Solid understanding of data pipeline concepts: idempotency, schema evolution, backfills, and data quality/testing

Nice to have

  • Background in gaming, betting, e-commerce, or another regulated/high-compliance industry
What the job really is

As a Software Engineer III in Data at Fanatics, you will be part of the Data Engineering team responsible for building and maintaining the data infrastructure that supports the business.

You will also engage with stakeholders to clarify requirements and ensure data security and governance practices are upheld.

Things to weigh
  • No salary listed
  • The role involves significant ownership of known-class problems, which may appeal to candidates seeking responsibility but could be challenging without step-by-step guidance for novel issues.
  • The position requires strong communication skills for technical handovers and stakeholder interactions, which may not suit all candidates.
