We draw inspiration from an active coastal California lifestyle; an integration of fitness, creative expression and life. Our high energy fast paced retail environment is reflected in the clothes we make. We aim to inspire others to take on all aspects of their lives with clarity, enthusiasm and purpose…while having a lot of fun along the way. We are proud to be an outlet for opportunity and for personal growth and success.\n We're looking for a Principal Data Engineer to design, build, and scale the data pipelines that bring data into our platform and make it ready for analytics. You'll work across the full pipeline lifecycle - from raw ingestion of heterogeneous sources through staging and curated layers - while playing a leading role in setting technical direction for our broader data infrastructure. You'll partner closely with fellow data engineers, data modelers, analysts, and product teams on what gets built next, and help raise the technical bar across the team.\nWhat you'll get to do:\nMove data through the full pipeline lifecycle - raw/src, staging, and curated layers - applying appropriate transformation, validation, and testing at each stage to prepare data for analytics consumption \nBuild and maintain Azure Data Factory (ADF) pipelines to orchestrate ingestion and transformation across source, curated, and serving layers \nDesign ingestion patterns for a range of raw source formats - REST/SOAP APIs, flat files (CSV, fixed-width), JSON, and XML - landing them reliably into the src layer before transformation \nBuild resilient API extraction logic handling pagination, rate limiting, incremental/delta pulls, and schema drift from third-party sources \nParse and flatten semi-structured JSON payloads (nested objects, arrays) into queryable relational structures within Snowflake \nHandle file-based ingestion at scale - SFTP/blob drops, file validation, schema enforcement, and reprocessing/backfill logic for late or malformed files \nContribute to ADF pipeline CI/CD, deploying through Azure DevOps/GitHub Actions across dev/UAT/prod environments \nSet technical standards for pipeline design, code quality, and testing, and mentor other data engineers on the team \n Who you are:\nHands-on experience with Azure Data Factory (ADF) - pipelines, data flows, linked services, integration runtimes, and triggers \nExperience extracting and normalizing raw data from heterogeneous sources: REST APIs, flat files, JSON/XML, and SFTP/blob-based drops \nComfortable writing extraction logic that handles pagination, authentication (API keys, OAuth), and incremental sync patterns \nExperience parsing and modeling semi-structured/nested JSON data within a cloud data warehouse (e.g., Snowflake VARIANT/FLATTEN) \n8+ years of experience in data engineering or a related field, including experience operating at a senior or technical lead level \nStrong proficiency in SQL and at least one programming language commonly used in data engineering (Python, Scala, or Java) \nStrong communication skills and experience working cross-functionally with analytics, product, and engineering teams \nBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience preferred \nExperience with dbt or similar transformation frameworks \nFamiliarity with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, ARM/Bicep) and broader CI/CD practices \nExposure to real-time analytics or streaming technologies \n Our investment in you:\nAt Vuori, we’re proud to offer the following to our employees:\nHealth Insurance \nSavings and Retirement Plan \nEmployee Assistance Program \nGenerous Vuori Discount & Industry Perks \nPaid Time Off \nWellness & Fitness benefits \nThe salary range for this role is $173,000 per year - $222,495 per year.
