As the world's largest independent studio, Sony Pictures Television produces original content for streaming and linear networks globally, including popular series across various genres.

The Data Engineer II designs and builds reliable, scalable ELT pipelines that power analytics, reporting, and AI/ML applications across Sony Pictures Entertainment.

Agile Product Delivery: Contribute to fast-paced project teams working to build new ISA tools. Source and harmonize data from disparate systems to create consumption-ready data used by data scientists and data visualization leads. Deliver business impact within a fast-paced, agile environment.

Data Governance: Maintain quality, integrity, and security standards across data platforms and pipelines. Collaborate with IT, engineering, and Infosec teams on governance and compliance efforts.

Cross-Functional Collaboration: Effectively communicate with non-technical stakeholders to understand business requirements and collaborate with technical partners across multiple disciplines to design elegant solutions.

"One Team" Mindset: Contribute to a high-performance team, collaborating openly with peers to create a team culture of ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement.

Qualifications:

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Business Analytics, or related fields; advanced degrees are a plus. 5+ years in data engineering, analytics engineering, or a related technical role in a production environment. Demonstrated ability to work with complex data domains and organize data assets for analytical use. Interest in business concepts, entities and relationships relevant to a TV production & distribution studio is a plus. Advanced SQL & Python skills. Experience building transformation pipelines in dbt is strongly preferred. Proficiency with modern cloud data platforms (e.g., Snowflake, GCP/BigQuery, AWS/Redshift) and with pipeline orchestration tools. Familiarity with CI/CD workflows, version control, and automated testing frameworks to meet data quality standards. Exposure to generative AI technologies and interest in applying AI-driven approaches to data engineering and analytics workflows. Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, and inherent curiosity to understand the business systems and processes where much of our data originates.
