Schedule : 37.5 hours per week - 8 : 30-5 w / a 30 minute lunch. The start time can be adjusted plus or minus an hour based off of need.

Experience : The Principal Data Engineer will not be doing day-to-day coding or development but needs a development background to support and guide other development teams (20+ teams are supported by this group).
