The engineer ensures that data is reliable, high-quality, and accessible, enabling both actionable insights and interoperability across the enterprise.

The ideal candidate will bring deep technical expertise in modern data engineering and integration practices, strong problem-solving skills, and the ability to collaborate with both technical and business stakeholders. This role is essential to advancing the USOPC’s enterprise data strategy and enabling data-driven decision making across the organization.

Here’s how you’ll have an impact :

Architecture & Engineering

  • Design, develop, and maintain efficient and scalable data pipelines and API-driven integrations that ingest, transform, and exchange data across enterprise systems, applications, and external partners.
  • Build and maintain data models, schemas, and architectures to support analytical needs, reporting requirements, and operational integrations.
  • Write high-quality code to architect custom, flexible integration frameworks for internal applications and third-party systems.

  • Optimize pipelines, integrations, and data services for performance, scalability, and maintainability.
  • Monitor pipeline and integration health; proactively troubleshoot data quality, delivery, or connectivity issues.

Data Quality, Governance, & Security

  • Ensure accuracy, consistency, and reliability of both analytical datasets and transactional integrations through validation and monitoring frameworks.
  • Implement robust error handling, reconciliation, and retry logic to maintain data integrity in system-to-system flows.
  • Adhere to data governance, security, and compliance requirements, including authentication and authorization standards (OAuth, SAML, JWT).
  • Partner with data owners and system owners to align on definitions, integration rules, and stewardship practices.
  • Document pipelines, integrations, APIs, and architectures for maintainability and transparency.
  • Collaboration & Communication

  • Partner with analysts, data scientists, system owners, and business stakeholders to deliver solutions that meet both analytical and operational integration needs.
  • Translate business requirements into technical specifications for data pipelines and integrations.
  • Provide consultation on data access, pipeline enhancements, system connectivity, and API usage.
  • Participate in cross-functional initiatives to align engineering with enterprise data strategy and evolving business needs.
  • Innovation & Continuous Improvement

  • Stay current on emerging data engineering and integration technologies (cloud platforms, APIs, middleware, event-driven frameworks).
  • Identify opportunities to automate workflows, reduce manual data handling, and improve system interoperability.
  • Pilot and evaluate new tools (e.g., Snowflake features, dbt, MuleSoft, Airbyte, Kafka) to improve delivery speed and reliability.
  • Foster a culture of knowledge-sharing, reusability, and experimentation within the engineering team.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.

  • Experience with ETL / ELT frameworks and orchestration tools (e.g., Airflow, dbt, Prefect) and API-based integrations (REST, SOAP, GraphQL).
  • Proficiency in SQL and at least one programming language such as Python, Java, or C#, with strong coding practices for scalable and resilient solutions.
  • Familiarity with data governance, security, and compliance standards, including authentication / authorization methods (OAuth, JWT, SAML).
  • Strong track record of collaboration across technical and business teams, with the ability to translate requirements into practical solutions.
  • Experience with data visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI) preferred.
  • Experience in the sports industry or with sports-related data is a plus.
  • Ability to design and optimize pipelines, integrations, and queries for performance and maintainability.
  • Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills, with a detail-oriented and proactive mindset.
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to work effectively in a collaborative, cross-functional environment.
  • Adaptability and eagerness to learn new tools, frameworks, and integration patterns.
  • Commitment to maintaining high-quality, reliable data and integrations that support enterprise-wide use.
  • Ability to effectively prioritize and execute tasks in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment.
