Senior Data Engineer

JOB SUMMARY

Livingston moves goods across a complex, high-velocity supply chain, and data is at the heart of how we plan, route, and optimize that movement. We're looking for a Senior Data Engineer to design, build, and scale the data infrastructure that powers logistics operations, transportation analytics, warehouse and inventory visibility, and executive decision-making.

Reporting to the Director, IT, this role is a senior technical anchor within the Data & Analytics function. You'll partner closely with Operations, Supply Chain Planning, Finance, internal IT and Business Intelligence teams to turn high-volume, time-sensitive logistics data into reliable, well-governed and intelligent data products. This is an opportunity to shape data architecture and engineering for a growing organization where data quality and speed directly affect the movement of freight and the customer experience.

KEY DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES

• Design, build, and maintain scalable ETL/ELT pipelines that ingest data from transportation management (TMS), ERP, EDI, and telematics/IoT sources.

• Build and maintain the infrastructure required to support near-real-time visibility into shipments, inventory, and performance.
• Establish and enforce metadata, data quality, validation, and reconciliation processes across high-volume logistics data feeds.
• Partner with data analysts, data scientists, and BI developers to ensure data is modeled and delivered in a way that supports self-serve reporting and predictive modeling.
• Implement and maintain data governance, lineage, security, and access control practices in line with company policy and regulatory requirements.
• Optimize pipeline performance and cost across cloud data platforms, monitoring for reliability, latency, and scalability as data volumes grow.
• Collaborate with the Director, IT and cross-functional stakeholders to translate business requirements (e.g., optimization, performance, demand forecasting, Portal integrations, etc.) into technical data solutions.
• Provide technical mentorship to junior and intermediate data engineers, and contribute to engineering standards, documentation, and code review practices.
• Support the evaluation and integration of new data tools, platforms, and vendor systems.
• Participate in on-call rotation and incident response for critical data pipeline issues affecting operational reporting.
• Be hands-on with data architecture and engineering functions
