You own how data gets in: the contracts with upstream domain teams, the connectors and change-data-capture that move it, and the landing zone it arrives in. This is hands-on data engineering where everything downstream depends on what you bring in - get the source contracts and ingestion solid and every system that reads this data can trust its inputs.\nWhat You'll Own\nSource & publishing contracts. Negotiate schema, freshness SLAs, and change-notice with upstream domain teams - and hold them to it. These contracts are what keep the layer trustworthy.\n\nConnectors & ingestion. Build and operate the connectors and change-data-capture that land upstream sources into the lake, reliably and on their freshness SLA.\n\nThe landing zone. Own the raw landing layer - structure, partitioning, and a clean handoff to the medallion pipeline.\n\nIngestion observability. Know when a source breaks, drifts, or goes stale - before anything downstream does.\n\nGrounding discipline. Nothing lands ungrounded; provenance travels with every record from the moment it arrives.\n\nWhy This Role?\nYou own the front door to the entire layer - every grounded fact starts as something you sourced and landed. Get ingestion right and everything downstream can trust its inputs.\n\nThis is a greenfield role - you're standing up the sourcing patterns and the contracts from scratch, not inheriting a maintenance queue.\n\nHigh leverage on reliability - the freshness and trustworthiness of the whole layer rests on the inputs you bring in.\n\nEssential Requirements:\nSenior / staff-level, hands-on depth in data sourcing and ingestion - the core discipline of this role.\n\nStrong Python - your primary language for building and operating pipelines, connectors, and tooling.\n\nA track record of landing diverse upstream sources into a data lake reliably and on their freshness SLA.\n\nProven experience handling data at high volume, with real attention to cost, partitioning, and performance.\n\nA provenance mindset - “where did this come from” travels with every record you land.\n\nStrong collaboration and stakeholder communication with upstream domain teams.\n\nTech Stack\nIngestion takes whatever shape the source needs - depth in one or two matters more than all of them:\nSources - REST / APIs · Kafka · Teradata · Oracle · SQL Server · MongoDB · Cassandra · S3-compatible storage (ECS)\nMove & land - CDC · SQL & DB extract scripts · Airflow · Spark / PySpark · Delta / Iceberg · CSV / JSON / Parquet\nCompensation\nDell is committed to fair and equitable compensation practices. The salary range for this position is USD $187,850 - USD $243,100\nBenefits and Perks of working at Dell Technologies\nYour life. Your health. Supported by your benefits.
