Senior Data Engineer

Overview

Job Title: Senior Data Engineer

About the role

Pearson Virtual Schools runs online K-12 programs, including Connections Academy and Pearson Online Academy, for students and families across the country. Everyone who works on those programs depends on data they can trust: educators tracking student progress, the teams improving our curriculum, and more and more, AI tools working alongside them.

We're starting a new Data Engineering group, and this is one of its first two hires. You'll build our governed semantic layer from scratch. It will be the single, trusted definition of our data and metrics, used both by BI tools and by AI agents. You'll begin with two high-impact domains, student assessment and learning efficacy and marketing / commercial, and the modeling standards you set will shape how the group grows.

This is a greenfield role with a lot of autonomy. You'll pick the patterns, write the conventions, and help the engineers who join after you.
