We’re looking for a senior-level data professional who thrives in complex data environments and loves working deep in the backend — building pipelines, optimizing SQL, modeling data, and enabling analytics at scale. This is not a reporting/visualization‑heavy role. This is for someone who wants to own the data layer, engineer solutions, and partner closely with the business to solve real operational problems.


🔍 What You’ll Do

  • Work directly with end users, managers, and executives to translate business needs into technical data solutions
  • Design, build, and optimize SQL-based data pipelines, stored procedures, functions, and ETL workflows
  • Develop and maintain data models, warehouse structures, and backend data assets
  • Build and support ETL processes using SSIS and other modern tools
  • Work with cloud platforms (GCP + Azure) to support scalable data operations
  • Collaborate with BI teams to ensure datasets are analytics‑ready
  • Use Python or R for data manipulation, automation, and backend processing


⭐ Must-Have Experience

  • 6–8+ years in Data Analytics, BI, or Data Engineering
  • Strong SQL programming: triggers, functions, stored procedures, performance tuning
  • Strong ETL experience (SSIS required)
  • Data warehousing, data modeling, and data manipulation expertise
  • Hands-on experience with Power BI, Tableau, Looker, or similar BI tools
  • Programming/scripting with Python or R
  • Cloud experience with GCP and Azure
  • Proven ability to gather requirements and work directly with stakeholders, including C‑level


✨ Nice-to-Haves

  • BigQuery experience (major plus — we are a Google-focused environment)
  • Bachelor’s degree in CS, IS, Data Science, Math, or Statistics
  • Master’s degree or advanced certifications (Google, Snowflake SnowPro, BI/Analytics certs)
  • Experience in Utilities or EMC industries


🎯 Who Thrives Here


Someone who:

  • Loves backend data engineering more than dashboards
  • Enjoys solving messy data problems
  • Writes clean, optimized SQL and Python
  • Wants to influence architecture and data strategy
  • Can translate business problems into technical solutions

  • Seniority level

    Mid-Senior level
  • Employment type

    Full-time
  • Job function
