Description
Must be based in Vancouver
The role
We're hiring a dedicated data engineer to own the production data platform that our delivery, product, and engineering teams run on; designing integrated, governed data pipelines and delivering automated reporting, AI-assisted workflows, and predictive signals on top of them. You'll write production code, design systems, own CI/CD, and be accountable for the correctness of data that leaders make decisions on.
What you'll do
- Design and operate our cloud data platform: ingestion, transformation, orchestration and serving.
- Integrate data from across the business (delivery tooling, CRM, product telemetry, finance, support and customer feedback systems) with shared identifiers, data contracts and lineage.
- Build automated and continuously refreshed reporting so teams manage by exception rather than chasing status.
- Connect approved AI agents to governed data with structured outputs, provenance, guardrails and human approval in the loop.
- Build feature pipelines and the MLOps controls behind predictive use cases: tests, versioning, promotion gates and drift monitoring.
- Own the engineering standards for data: testing, observability, environment promotion, PII classification and access control.
What you'll bring
- Strong software engineering fundamentals: production-quality code, API and interface design, testing discipline, systems design.
- Real experience building and operating production data platforms on a cloud warehouse or lakehouse (Snowflake and AWS preferred) with dbt and a modern orchestrator.
- Practical AI tooling experience: something shipped, not prototyped. LLM-backed classification, extraction or structured-output pipelines; agent and tool-calling workflows; retrieval; evals.
- You can reason about cost, latency, failure modes and when not to use a model.
- Sound governance judgement: data quality, observability, lineage, versioned contracts, auditability, PII handling.
- CI/CD and DataOps: automated testing, release gates, infrastructure automation, rollback.
- Comfort working directly with engineering, product, finance and security stakeholders.
Nice to have
- Feature stores and MLOps tooling: serving and monitoring models in production
- Experience working with and designing MCP Servers
- Experience with BI platforms and semantic layers
- You already use AI coding tools as part of how you work
