WHO YOU'LL WORK WITH

You will report to the Senior Engineering Manager- the enterprise team that curates, governs, and serves Nike Direct and Marketplace data products to BI Experience teams and other GT domains. You will work within a team of engineers building backend APIs, ontology layers, and data pipelines that BI Experience teams consume directly. A Senior or Lead Engineer will support you with design and technical guidance. You will share your experience and technical expertise to help shape the longer-term strategic direction of our consumption and ontology layers.
