Support geospatial ETL processes, including schema management, data validation, and preparation
Troubleshoot dataflow issues and support integration with downstream systems, analytics, and reporting platforms
Ensure data quality, documentation, and continuous improvement while collaborating within teams and mentoring junior members
What You’ll Bring to Make An Impact

Familiarity with data integration tools (e.g., Apache NiFi, FME) and SQL for data processing
Basic scripting or automation skills (e.g., Python, PowerShell)
Ability to follow engineering standards and work effectively within regulated environments
Strong communication, teamwork, and learning mindset, with exposure to data quality, governance, and collaboration tools (e.g., JIRA, Confluence)
