Description

Publix Super Markets tops the list of privately-owned supermarkets in the US. We are privately-owned, hold no long-term debt and continue to grow year after year. Publix and our associates excel in community involvement, volunteerism, and environmental sustainability. Our collective commitment to diversity has contributed to our success in being a great place to work and shop. It’s satisfying to work for – and be an owner in – a Fortune 100 company that is widely recognized as a leader in the supermarket industry.

As a Business Data Engineer, you will analyze strategic data needs across the business; to design, develop, implement, and support big data pipelines from ingestion to visualization; to oversee governance of enterprise terms, data, and reporting; and to consult across the business on the use of data and data technologies (preparation and visualization) across the business. This position requires analytical skills, creativity, and an application of varied and advanced on-premise and cloud technologies.
Responsibilities:

• Responsible for technical business analysis with a heavy focus on analytical data asset management and the goal of establishing high-quality authoritative, analytical data assets, as well as engaging the business in active ownership and management of these data assets which will be used by cross-functional decision makers up to and including Publix executives
• Responsible for designing, developing, implementing, supporting, and managing big data pipelines using cloud technologies to automate the movement, transformation, exposure, security, and visualization of analytical data. On the business (non-IT) side, the incumbent is a SME on big data pipelines and data transformation for all types of business data into the cloud
• Responsible for monitoring and maintaining the strategies, definitions, processes, and implementation of the Publix business data governance strategy in alignment with overall Publix and Analytics/Data as a Service (AaaS/DaaS) vision and strategy.
• Responsible for developing, standardizing, monitoring, guiding, and advising on the use of business intelligence at Publix.

In Publix’s corporate offices, we value in-person interactions, similar to those our store associates have with customers. Many of Publix’s corporate offices offer work from home up to two days a week. Each business area implements their policy differently and should be discussed during interviews.
