The A.C.Coy Company has an immediate need for a Data Engineer. In this role, you will architect, build, and own this transformation end-to-end.

Responsibilities

You will be the founding data engineer on this initiative. You will design and implement pipelines that unify data from 7 operational source systems

• Design, build and operate reliable ELT ingestion pipelines using Airbyte / Fivetran or similar to pull data from all 7 operational sources into Snowflake Bronze on a nightly schedule
• Build and maintain dbt staging models (Silver layer) that clean, deduplicate, and standardise data from all 7 sources into consistent schemas
• Establish and enforce data contracts for each source domain — agreed schemas, null rates, acceptable value ranges, and freshness SLAs
• Design and maintain the internal operational database
• Build and maintain FastAPI endpoints that serve Snowflake Gold data to our internal React application — customer views, pipeline dashboards, inventory risk, margin reports
• Collaborate with the engineering team to decouple legacy Azure SQL Managed Instance dependencies and migrate data to the new Snowflake-native environment
• Own the end-to-end dashboard layer: from Gold model design through to published, production-grade dashboards consumed by executive and operational stakeholders
