Senior Data Engineer

Senior Data Engineer

Welocalize is seeking a Senior Data Engineer with world-class Python expertise and a sharp eye for data quality, engineering rigor, and visualization fidelity.

In this role, you will create realistic datasets, write intuitive prompts, and develop high-quality “golden plots” to power insightful data tasks. You'll bridge technical precision with real-world plausibility—crafting examples that meet strict quality rubrics and correctness criteria.

Role Details

Location: Remote

Commitment: Part-time, flexible hours

Compensation: Competitive hourly rate

🔍 Key Responsibilities

      📊 Dataset Design & Curation
    • Design and build realistic toy/dummy datasets at varying complexity levels (simple, moderate, complex).
    • Ensure datasets reflect real-world scenarios while remaining clean, reproducible, and well-structured (CSV format).



    • ✏️ Prompt Engineering
    • Write concise, natural-language prompts (<40 words) tailored for business analysts.
    • Ensure prompts are grammatically precise and align with project style (non-technical, not overly directive, no raw metric requests).



    • 📈 Golden Plot Creation
    • Reproduce target visualizations with aesthetic and analytical fidelity.
    • Write clean, reproducible Python code using libraries like pandas, matplotlib, seaborn, and plotly.
    • Maintain high-quality code standards: well-commented, organized, and reproducible.



    • Correctness Criteria & Documentation
    • Define correctness criteria tailored to open-ended insight prompts.
    • Ensure criteria are flexible, accurate, and avoid assuming fixed solutions.
    • Provide supporting documentation with expected values and metrics (e.g., means, correlations, test results).



    • 🕵️ Quality Assurance
    • Rigorously check each example against quality rubrics (correctness, completeness, clarity, justification).
    • Maintain a high standard of accuracy across data, prompts, and visualizations.

Required Qualifications

    • 10+ years of professional experience in data engineering or applied data science.
    • Expert-level proficiency in Python (data wrangling, visualization, statistical testing).
    • Deep understanding of data modeling, prompt crafting, and reproducible workflows.
    • Exceptional attention to detail and quality control.
    • Proven success in high-impact technical environments.

Preferred Qualifications

    • Experience with statistics, hypothesis testing, and storytelling with data.
    • Background in producing training data, developer tools, or reproducible research.
    • Strong writing skills for crafting precise prompts and correctness criteria.

If you're a data expert who thrives on quality, clarity, and impactful engineering,we’d love to hear from you.
