Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Drive the modern data engineering foundation by establishing architecture standards and leading the build-out of ELT pipelines and stream ingestion. Provide technical leadership and management for both the data engineering and data science teams to ensure disciplined execution.
Requires 6-10 years of data engineering experience with at least 2 years in a lead role and expertise in Python, Airflow, and Kafka. Candidates must have a proven track record of designing data modeling standards and managing technical teams through migrations.
For 41 years, Rewards Network has been helping restaurants grow revenue, increase traffic, and boost customer engagement through innovative financial, marketing services, and premier dining rewards programs.

That means assessing the current in-flight build and making deliberate decisions about what to keep and what to replace.
