VIE - Data Engineer (H/F) - New York

Hermès · New York, NY · 3 days ago
Information TechnologyFull-time

About the role

Hermès is deploying a next-generation cloud Data Platform in the United States. You will be one of the first engineers on the ground laying its technical foundations. The company is migrating its on-premise data platforms, and the VIE based in the US will own the data engineering workstreams tied to this transformation. This is not a maintenance project. You will form an operational pair with the VIE Data Analyst on the same program: one builds the foundations, the other unlocks their value — the two roles are inseparable. The role demands a rigorous, structured profile capable of building solid, lasting solutions. In a high-stakes migration program, quality and traceability of deliverables take precedence over speed of execution.

Responsibilities

Standards & best practices relay

  • Act as the local relay for architecture patterns, methodologies, standards, and best practices defined by the group; ensure their adoption and compliance across all development work.

Pipeline & ingestion

  • Design and develop data pipelines from US on-premise sources to Snowflake (dbt, SQL).
  • Guarantee data quality, reliability, and traceability: tests, documentation, GitLab CI/CD versioning.
  • Contribute to the evolution of the Data Platform schema in coordination with the Data & AI Platform teams.
  • Align with the core retail data model already deployed on other geographical platforms.

Modeling & datamarts

  • Model business datamarts in compliance with target data models defined by leadership.
  • Structure transformation layers according to dbt standards and Hermès conventions.
  • Document models and contribute to the data catalog: descriptions, lineage, conformity tests.

Migration & consistency

  • Map existing data sources on local platforms and establish their correspondence with the new models.
  • Identify and resolve definition or grain gaps between source and target systems.

Requirements

  • Master’s degree (Bac+5) in computer science, data engineering, applied mathematics, or equivalent.
  • Significant first experience (long internship, apprenticeship, or first mission) in data engineering or analytics engineering.
  • Advanced SQL and relational modeling best practices (Star/Snowflake schema).
  • dbt (Core or Cloud): models, tests, documentation, macros.
  • Snowflake or equivalent cloud data warehouse (BigQuery, Redshift).
  • GitLab CI/CD: versioning and continuous integration practices.
  • Knowledge of Power BI or another BI tool is a plus.
  • Rigor, strong verbal communication, proactivity.
  • Professional fluency in English (written and spoken) required; French is an asset.

Benefits

  • Immersion in a modern data environment on a real, large-scale case at an international luxury house.
  • Operational pairing with a VIE Data Analyst on the same program from day one: you build the foundations, they unlock the value.
  • Direct collaboration with data and business teams in an international Paris/US context, with strong exposure to both work cultures.
  • Based in the United States within a strongly entrepreneurial culture: real autonomy, direct stakeholders, fast decisions — you are expected to take positions, not wait for approvals.

VIE Eligibility

Candidates must meet all five conditions for the Volontariat International en Entreprise (VIE) program:

  • Be between 18 and 28 years old at the date of registration; departure must occur no later than the day before your 29th birthday (no exceptions).
  • Be a French citizen or a national of a European Economic Area country.
  • Be in compliance with national service obligations (Defense and Citizenship Day).
  • Enjoy full civic rights (right to vote, clean criminal record).
  • Meet the physical aptitude conditions required for equivalent activities in the host organization.
