We’re a builder‑led, client‑first culture that prizes ownership, clear communication, and shipping high‑impact work.

This role is for an experienced, hands‑on practitioner capable of designing and implementing performant and scalable data solutions, and optimizing data flow.

Experience:

5+ years of industry experience as a hands‑on practitioner in Data Engineering.

  • Implement and optimize advanced ETL/ELT data pipelines and orchestrate complex data jobs using platforms like Databricks notebooks and dbt.

  • Design and maintain data models, potentially utilizing data virtualization tools like Cube.

  • Leverage managed and serverless cloud offerings to create performant and scalable cloud‑native application solutions and data pipelines.

  • Apply best practices for data security and ensure compliance with governance requirements.

  • Build high‑performance data pipelines and integrate with BI tools like Tableau, Looker, and Power BI.

  • Provide leadership in applying software development best practices, including CI/CD and managing Infrastructure as Code.

Key Requirements:
  • Advanced proficiency in Python and SQL (TypeScript/JavaScript/Java a plus).

  • Proven experience with ETL/ELT implementation and data modeling for data warehouses/lakehouses.

  • Understanding and experience with the Medallion Architecture (Bronze, Silver, and Gold layers).

  • Experience with advanced DevOps, CI/CD, and strong Linux system administration skills.

  • Expertise in 2–3 major cloud and data platforms (e.g., Azure, AWS, GCP, Snowflake, Databricks, and Fabric).

Consulting & Communication:
  • Participate in customer engagement activities, clearly communicating technical concepts, design decisions, and project progress to stakeholders.

  • Effective communication and the ability to collaborate with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.

What We Offer
  • Competitive base compensation with performance bonuses

  • 401(k) with company match

  • Work on diverse, high-impact engagements across industries

  • Direct access to leading-edge data and AI stacks (Snowflake, Databricks, AWS, GCP, Azure)

  • Builder culture where analysts lead engagements and ship work, not slides
