Senior Data Engineer

About the role

We're partnering with a rapidly growing, private equity-backed services organization undergoing a major data transformation. Following a period of significant acquisition-driven growth, the company is investing heavily in modernizing its data platform, creating a rare opportunity for a hands-on Data Engineer to help build a scalable enterprise data ecosystem from the ground up. This is not a maintenance role. You'll join at the beginning of a large-scale modernization initiative, working directly alongside an implementation partner to stand up a brand-new Snowflake environment, establish data architecture and governance standards, and build the pipelines and transformations that will power reporting, analytics, and future AI initiatives. If you're someone who enjoys creating structure from complexity, influencing data strategy, and owning systems end-to-end, this role offers exceptional visibility and long-term growth potential.

Responsibilities

• Partner with consultants and internal stakeholders to design and implement a new enterprise data platform centered around Snowflake
• Build and maintain scalable ELT pipelines using modern cloud data technologies
• Develop, optimize, and support dbt models and transformation frameworks
• Own backend data workflows from source system ingestion through reporting and analytics consumption
• Help establish data governance, cataloging, documentation, and quality standards
• Integrate data from multiple business systems into a centralized warehouse environment
• Support Domo reporting and analytics initiatives by delivering clean, trusted datasets
• Define best practices, architecture standards, and processes that will remain in place long after implementation is complete
• Collaborate with both technical and business stakeholders to ensure reporting consistency and data integrity across the organization

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience in data engineering, data warehousing, or related data platform roles
• Strong experience building and supporting modern cloud data warehouse environments
• Hands-on Snowflake experience
• Proven expertise with dbt and data transformation frameworks
• Experience building and maintaining ELT/ETL pipelines
• Understanding of data architecture, modeling, and governance principles
• Experience supporting analytics and reporting teams through trusted datasets
• Ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Comfortable working in environments where processes, standards, and data maturity are still evolving
• U.S. Citizen or Green Card Holder required; no current or future sponsorship available
