We are seeking a Data Engineer to join a fast-paced, business-facing data team supporting a variety of commercial functions. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working hands-on with data, building and optimizing SQL-based transformations, and partnering closely with stakeholders to deliver impactful insights.

You’ll work in a modern data stack environment and contribute to short-cycle, high-impact projects across areas such as marketing, revenue, loyalty, and HR.

Key Responsibilities

• 3+ years of experience in a Data Engineer or SQL-heavy Data Analyst role
• Strong proficiency in SQL (ability to write, read, and debug complex queries)
• Experience working with data warehouses and business intelligence environments
• Hands-on experience building or transforming datasets (not just querying existing tables)
• Familiarity with data transformation tools such as DBT or similar frameworks
• Basic experience with Python (e.g., Pandas for data manipulation)
• Experience with version control tools such as Git

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Snowflake or similar cloud data warehouses
• Familiarity with data orchestration tools such as Airflow or Azure Data Factory

• Experience working in fast-paced, project-based environments
• Exposure to cloud data platform migrations or modern data stack implementations

What You’ll Bring

• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently with minimal oversight
• Comfort working on multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment
• Ability to communicate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
• A proactive mindset with a focus on data quality, documentation, and continuous improvement
