Senior Data Engineer, AI and Systems Engineering

<h2>Role Description</h2> <p data-start="0" data-end="442">As a Senior Data Engineer on the CMDB and Asset Intelligence platform, you will help build the unified data foundation that powers asset visibility, cost optimization, and security insights across the company. You will design scalable pipelines and data models that bring together sources like ServiceNow, Okta, Oracle, and Jamf into a centralized lakehouse architecture, turning messy, multi-system data into trusted, decision-ready signals.</p> <p data-start="444" data-end="748" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">This role is a chance to raise the bar on data quality and governance while building systems that teams actually rely on day to day. You will partner closely with IT, Security, and Finance to define what “good” looks like, deliver high-impact solutions, and shape the long-term direction of the platform.</p> <div> <p><span class=" author-d-iz88z86z86za0dz67zz78zz78zz74zz68zjz80zz71z9iz90z95lz89zy6z71zz79zz84zz68zyz69zupz72zz79zcz69zz76zkz79zp1z66ztz67zxz71zz89zz86zz71z">Our Engineering Career Framework is </span><span class="attrlink url author-d-iz88z86z86za0dz67zz78zz78zz74zz68zjz80zz71z9iz90z95lz89zy6z71zz79zz84zz68zyz69zupz72zz79zcz69zz76zkz79zp1z66ztz67zxz71zz89zz86zz71z"><a class="attrlink" href="https://dropbox.github.io/dbx-career-framework/" target="_blank" data-target-href="https://dropbox.github.io/dbx-career-framework/"><u>viewable by anyone outside the company</u></a></span><span class=" author-d-iz88z86z86za0dz67zz78zz78zz74zz68zjz80zz71z9iz90z95lz89zy6z71zz79zz84zz68zyz69zupz72zz79zcz69zz76zkz79zp1z66ztz67zxz71zz89zz86zz71z"> and describes what’s expected for our engineers at each of our career levels.
