Kforce has a client that is seeking a Data Engineer (Data Platform/Infrastructure Focus) in Greenwood Village, CO. Overview: We are seeking a Data Engineer with strong experience in building and optimizing data pipelines within a cloud-based environment. This role is focused on data infrastructure and pipeline development, supporting data science and production use cases-not analytics or reporting. You will work closely with data science teams to ensure they have reliable, well-structured data to power models and drive insights, while also helping evolve and modernize the underlying data platform. About the Role:
  • This is a hands-on engineering role focused on building and optimizing data systems
  • You will operate in a dynamic environment where priorities may evolve as new data initiatives emerge
  • You will play a key role in enabling data science teams by delivering high-quality, reliable data pipelines
Duties Include:
  • Design, build, and maintain scalable data pipelines for data science and production workloads
  • Partner with data scientists to source, ingest, and prepare data for modeling and feature development
  • Evaluate data availability and build solutions to ingest and structure new data sources
  • Optimize data processing jobs for performance, scalability, and cost efficiency
  • Develop and enhance data infrastructure, frameworks, and reusable components
  • Implement data quality checks, validation, and unit testing
  • Support production systems, including monitoring, troubleshooting, backfills, and enhancements
  • Help improve and modernize legacy pipelines and systems with technical debt

Requirements:

  • Strong SQL skills and deep understanding of data structures and transformations
  • Hands-on experience with Amazon Web Services (AWS)
  • Experience working with large-scale data processing tools such as Amazon EMR or similar
  • Proven ability to optimize and scale data pipelines, not just build them
  • Solid understanding of data architecture and pipeline design
  • Experience working in production environments, including debugging and performance tuning
Nice to Have:
  • Experience with streaming technologies such as Apache Kafka
  • Familiarity with distributed processing frameworks like Apache Spark
  • Exposure to Scala or Java

The pay range is the lowest to highest compensation we reasonably in good faith believe we would pay at posting for this role. We may ultimately pay more or less than this range. Employee pay is based on factors like relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, seniority, location, performance, union contract and business needs. This range may be modified in the future.

We offer comprehensive benefits including medical/dental/vision insurance, HSA, FSA, 401(k), and life, disability & ADD insurance to eligible employees. Salaried personnel receive paid time off. Hourly employees are not eligible for paid time off unless required by law. Hourly employees on a Service Contract Act project are eligible for paid sick leave.

Note: Pay is not considered compensation until it is earned, vested and determinable. The amount and availability of any compensation remains in Kforce's sole discretion unless and until paid and may be modified in its discretion consistent with the law.

This job is not eligible for bonuses, incentives or commissions.
