The Role in Brief:

Principal Data Engineer

The Principal Data Engineer, also referred to across the team as the Data Solutions Lead (DSL), is responsible for designing high-impact data and analytics solutions that help higher education institutions unlock the full value of their data within the Edify platform.

This role sits at the intersection of data architecture, partner strategy, and product innovation. The DSL partners closely with Strategic Leaders, Data Engineers, and Product teams to translate complex institutional challenges into scalable, well-architected data solutions that drive measurable outcomes.

Unlike traditional data engineering roles, the DSL&rsquo;s primary day-to-day work does not focus on building pipelines or writing production code. Instead, they lead discovery, shape solution design, guide implementation, and ensure that delivered solutions are aligned to partner goals, technically sound, and positioned for long-term success.

We are seeking a leader who can connect data systems to real-world impact, bringing both technical depth and consultative strength to help institutions modernize their data ecosystems and explore emerging capabilities such as advanced analytics and AI-driven solutions.

This position is ideally based out of EAB's Washington, D.C. or Richmond, VA office, and is open to remote work within the continental U.S. Occasional travel (up to ~12 days annually) may be required for partner engagements and team collaboration.

This position is also posted at the Senior Data Engineer level; candidates are being considered at both levels for the current opening.

Primary Responsibilities:
<ul>
<li>Lead discovery engagements with institutional stakeholders to translate business questions into clear data and analytic requirements</li>
<li>Design end-to-end data solutions, including data models, integrations, transformation logic, and reporting structures that align with Edify platform best practices and long-term partner data strategy</li>
<li>Serve as a trusted technical advisor to partners, guiding them through complex data challenges and opportunities to expand impact through improved data usage, reporting, and analytics</li>
<li>Mentor or manage Data Engineers and collaborate with Technical Project Managers to guide implementation of designed solutions</li>
<li>Identify, investigate, and resolve performance and production issues, proactively recognizing recurring patterns and developing scalable solutions to prevent future occurrences</li>
<li>Contribute to the development of advanced capabilities, including predictive analytics, automation, and AI-driven use cases</li>
<li>Provide structured feedback to Product and Engineering teams to inform platform evolution</li></ul> 


Basic Qualifications:
<ul>
<li>Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent professional experience</li>
<li>8+ years of experience in data architecture, analytics consulting, or related roles</li>
<li>Strong proficiency in SQL, experience writing and code-reviewing complex stored procedures, and working knowledge of data transformation and modeling concepts</li>
<li>Experience designing data pipelines, integrations, and ware house structures</li>
<li>Deep understanding of how data flows across systems and how it is used to drive business decisions</li>
<li>Demonstrated ability to translate ambiguous problems into structured, actionable solutions</li>
<li>Strong communication skills, with the ability to engage both technical and non-technical audiences</li>
<li>Detail-oriented with ability to multitask and adapt to changing priorities</li></ul> 


Ideal Qualifications:
<ul>
<li>Experience working directly with external stakeholders in a consulting or client-facing capacity</li>
<li>Familiarity with cloud data ecosystems (AWS preferred) and modern data stack concepts</li>
<li>Experience guiding data strategy, analytics roadmaps, or system design decisions</li>
<li>Exposure to advanced analytics, predictive modeling, or AI/ML use cases</li>
<li>Ability to recognize patterns across implementations and drive reusable, scalable solutions</li>
<li>Experience in higher education or similarly complex data environments</li>
<li>SPM certifications or demonstrated planning, organizing and time management skills</li>
<li>Commitment to embracing a continual learning environment and contributing to a dynamic and welcoming culture of fairness, authenticity, and belonging in support of EAB&rsquo;s mission, values, and aspiration</li>
</ul>

We would encourage you to submit an application if this is a role you would be passionate about doing every day.

Compensation:

The anticipated starting salary range for this role is $91,500 &ndash; $130,000 per year. Actual salary varies due to factors that may include but not be limited to relevant experience, skills, and location. At EAB, it is not typical for an individual to be hired at or near the top of the starting salary range for their role.

This hire will additionally be eligible for discretionary bonus or incentive compensation. Variable compensation may depend on various factors, including, without limitation, individual and organizational performance.

Consistent with our belief that our employees are our most valuable resource, EAB offers a competitive and inclusive benefits package. Our benefits currently include:
