Overview In the Chick-fil-A Sr. Lead Software Engineer for Analytics role you’ll serve as a team leader, problem solver, mentor, and software engineer with an expertise in data and analytics. We need you to apply the technical experience you have gained in software development to the design, development, and delivery of highly engineered and complex data infrastructure and pipelines. In this role, you would be responsible for managing a cloud-based analytics platform, developing ETL pipelines, and the operational data management of confidential data that will ultimately serve to provide valuable insights and analytics for the business. Working with confidential data, an understanding of designing secured systems and segmenting user access is required. As a Sr. Leader, you will create solutions to problems that have yet to be solved, influence stakeholders on our data architecture strategy, as well as deliver and support the pipelines and data warehouse that will ultimately serve unique analytics needs. In the delivery of these solutions, you will be serving to both oversee your team and contribute as a member. You will not be responsible for HR management of your team, though –you’ll rather be able to focus on the technical aspects of your team’s growth and delivery. Our Flexible Future model offers a healthy mix of working in person and virtually, strengthening key elements of the Chick-fil-A culture by fostering collaboration and community.
