Data Engineer

TPS Group Holdings, a family of brands including The Paper Store, Uncharted, and Gifts & More, is all about transforming daily routines into joyful escapes that inspire and surprise. Our mission is to connect with every customer through carefully chosen products, immersive shopping experiences, and service that goes the extra mile — creating a space that sparks joy with every visit.

The Role: We are seeking an experienced Data Engineer to own and optimize end-to-end data pipeline operations across our Snowflake data warehouse environment. This is a highly technical, hands-on role focused on building, maintaining, and scaling production-grade ETL pipelines.

The Data Engineer will be responsible for ensuring operational visibility, data quality, and the overall reliability of our data ecosystem. This is not a general analytics or BI role; it requires strong ETL engineering expertise and the ability to support a growing, evolving data environment.

• Monitor data infrastructure for performance, reliability, and operational visibility.
• Ensure data quality and integrity through validation, cleansing, error handling, and data controls.
• Improve the performance, scalability, and robustness of existing data infrastructure.
• Design and optimize data storage solutions, including data warehouses and data lake environments.
• Partner with data analysts, data architects, software engineers, and business partners to understand data requirements and deliver reliable data sets.
• Support business intelligence needs by ensuring data is accurate, accessible, and structured for reporting and decision-making.
• Implement data security measures and access controls to protect sensitive information.
• Automate and improve data processes and workflows for scalability and efficiency.
• Document data pipelines, processes, standards, and best practices for knowledge sharing.
• Partner with cross-functional teams to support data governance, compliance, and data-driven decision-making.
• Stay current on industry trends and emerging technologies in data engineering.
• Provide technical guidance and support to junior team members, if applicable.
• Continuously optimize data architecture to support the company’s evolving data needs.
