Data Engineer
Job Description
ComputerPeople Staffing is hiring a Senior Data Engineer (Direct Hire) for a hybrid role in Buffalo, NY. This is an opportunity to build a centralized enterprise data platform from scratch during a transformation to Oracle Cloud Fusion, taking ownership of Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence (OFDI) and delivering data foundations that support analytics-ready reporting.
You’ll shape end-to-end data architecture, integration patterns, and ETL/ELT pipelines across multiple enterprise systems, with the platform serving as an analytics hub for teams consuming data through Power BI and Oracle Analytics Cloud.
Responsibilities
- Act as the primary technical owner of Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence (OFDI), standing up, configuring, and evolving it as the enterprise analytics hub.
- Independently design the enterprise data architecture, including data modeling, repository structure, and segmentation strategy across disparate sources such as SAP, on-prem Oracle, SQL Server, and GIS.
- Design and build scalable ETL/ELT pipelines to ingest data from multiple systems into a centralized data warehouse.
- Develop and maintain integrations using Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) as enterprise middleware.
- Lead the move away from legacy flat file integrations toward API-based, event-driven data flows.
- Implement data quality checks, reconciliation, and monitoring to support auditability and regulatory compliance.
- Curate trusted, analytics-ready datasets for downstream BI tools, including Power BI and Oracle Analytics Cloud.
- Build and maintain semantic data models and data mappings to enable self-service reporting and enterprise analytics initiatives.
- Collaborate with application and business teams to define data requirements across operational, financial, regulatory, and customer domains.
- Establish data governance frameworks, data lineage documentation, and data quality standards from the ground up.
- Document data flows, technical designs, and integration specifications for long-term maintainability.
- Partner with enterprise architecture and application teams to align solutions with enterprise standards.
- Evaluate and recommend supplemental data tools (for example, Microsoft Fabric) with meaningful input into tooling decisions.
- Operate with high autonomy in a self-directed capacity; minimal technical oversight exists above this role, and there is currently no internal mentor for this specific skill set.
- Identify gaps in the team’s future capability needs and contribute to hiring decisions as the function grows.
Requirements
- Demonstrated experience independently designing and building ETL/ELT pipelines and data architecture for enterprise environments, including relational and cloud-based work, not only executing an existing design.
- 7+ years of professional experience in data engineering, data integration, or analytics engineering roles.
- Strong SQL skills and hands-on experience with relational database platforms such as Oracle, SQL Server, or similar.
- Experience pulling from multiple disparate systems (ERP, CRM, CIS, asset management, or similar) into a unified data model.
- Scripting proficiency in Python, PowerShell, or similar to support pipeline automation.
- Familiarity with cloud-based enterprise platforms and hybrid on-prem/cloud architectures.
- Strong instincts for data quality, auditability, and governance.
- Knowledge of enterprise integration and data architecture design patterns.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or related field.
