Associate Staff Engineer - Data Engineer

Company Description

We are a Digital Product Engineering company that is scaling in a big way! We build products, services, and experiences that inspire, excite, and delight. We work at scale — across all devices and digital mediums, and our people exist everywhere in the world (15000+ experts across 26 countries, to be exact). Our work culture is dynamic and non-hierarchical. We are looking for great new colleagues. That is where you come in!

Job Description

Role and Responsibility:

• Design & Build Data Models: Architect and develop scalable, performant data models in Snowflake using dimensional modeling (star/snowflake schemas), OBT, and Data Vault patterns.

You''ll own the data warehouse layer that powers analytics and reporting across the organization.

• Develop & Maintain dbt Projects: Build, test, and document dbt models end-to-end — staging, intermediate, and mart layers. Enforce best practices including version control, CI/CD, data contracts, and comprehensive testing (schema, data, and freshness tests).
• Snowflake Cost Optimization: Monitor and optimize Snowflake compute and storage costs. This includes warehouse sizing and auto-suspend tuning, query profiling, clustering key strategies, materialization choices, and implementing resource monitors to control spend.
• Data Pipeline Development: Design and build robust ELT/ETL data pipelines to ingest, transform, and deliver data from diverse sources (ERP, MES, IoT, APIs, flat files) into Snowflake/ AWS Glue/ Lambda. Automate workflows using orchestration tools and Python scripting.
• Data Quality & Governance: Implement data quality checks, lineage tracking, and documentation standards. Champion data governance practices to ensure trusted, reliable data across the organization.

Expectation from the Candidate:

• Experience: 3+ years of experience in data engineering, analytics engineering, or a related role, with hands-on Snowflake and dbt experience in a production environment.

Technical Prowess:

• Expert-level Snowflake skills: data modeling, performance tuning, query optimization, Snowpark, stored procedures, streams/tasks, data sharing, and cost management.
• Strong dbt proficiency: model development, Jinja/macros, packages, incremental models, snapshots, exposures, and CI/CD integration.
• Advanced SQL skills for complex transformations, window functions, CTEs, and analytical queries.
• Proficiency in Python for data pipeline development, automation, scripting, and API integrations.
• Experience with dashboard/BI tools (Power BI, Tableau) including data source optimization and DAX/LOD calculations.
• Cloud platform experience (Azure, AWS, or GCP) including storage, compute, networking, and infrastructure-as-code basics.
