Senior Software Engineer - Python, SQL

Your Team’s Impact

This role sits within FactSet's Deep Sector Energy content organisation, as part of the BTU team — named after the British Thermal Unit, the fundamental measure of energy itself, which gives you a sense of how seriously this team takes its domain.

BTU is a distributed team of 8 engineers working across Colorado and India, building the data infrastructure and content pipelines that power FactSet's energy sector offering — one of the most data-rich and analytically demanding sectors in the investment landscape.

The team's output feeds directly into FactSet's Deep Sector product offering — content that investment professionals across the platform rely on for Oil & Gas, Power & Utilities, and adjacent energy verticals.

What You’ll Do

The primary focus for this hire is the modernisation of BTU's ETL pipeline — specifically around onboarding and transforming new energy data sources. In practice,
that means:

• Re-engineering and extending ETL workflows across both on-prem (Wombat / prd-progs) and cloud (AWS) environments — these complement each other and

• you'll be working across both

• Managing and scaling a significant data ingestion operation — BTU processes data from 1,000+ sources, spanning a wide variety of vendors, formats, and

• delivery mechanisms including portals, APIs, feeds, and file-based sources

• Building greenfield pipelines where new data sources have no prior workflow — designing from scratch with scale and reliability in mind

• Integrating AI-enhanced processes — the team is actively exploring agent-first architectures to handle automated pipeline breaks and enable self-healing

• workflows, reducing manual intervention and building systems that fix themselves

• Contributing to a team culture that leverages Claude Code as a standard engineering tool and treats automation of the repetitive and mundane as a first

• principle — not an afterthought

• Writing production-grade Python and SQL at the core of everything — not as supporting tools, but as primary engineering languages

• Contributing to a team actively raising the bar on data quality, pipeline observability, and system reliability across the energy content stack

This is a role for someone who wants to work on real data complexity — energy datasets are niche, messy, and high-value. The engineering challenges here are not generic.

What We are Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related discipline.

• 5+ years of hands-on experience building and maintaining data pipelines and ETL processes, ideally with large datasets.

• You're working in a Python/SQL-heavy data or backend engineering role at FactSet and want to go deeper into a specialised, high-value domain

• You have experience with Wombat, Fonix, or prd-progs orchestration — that context is directly applicable and will accelerate your contribution from day one

• You've worked on ETL pipelines, data transformation, or content engineering at scale and want to push that further in a cloud and on-prem hybrid environment

• You're interested in agent-based and self-healing pipeline architectures — not theoretically, but as live engineering problems you'd be solving

• You're already using or want to work somewhere that has fully embraced AI-assisted development with Claude Code as a standard part of the workflow

• You want to work in a role where your output is directly visible in FactSet products used by clients every day

• You have an interest in energy as a sector and want to build genuine domain knowledge alongside technical skills — O&G and Power & Utilities are among the most analytically rich verticals in the market
