Role Description

We're seeking a Sr. Data Engineer to join our team. You will build and own the data foundation of our product: the pipelines, models, and infrastructure that turn raw labor market, skills, and occupation data into the systems that connect people to the right jobs and pathways. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role on a small team.

Qualifications

• Strong data engineering experience (roughly 4+ years) designing and operating production ETL/ELT pipelines.
• Fluency in Python and SQL, with real depth in SQL.
• Hands-on experience with a modern orchestration and transformation stack (Airflow, dbt, or close equivalents).
• Experience integrating data from varied external sources.
• Comfort working with large, messy, inconsistently structured data.
• A builder's instinct for reliability.
• Clear communication skills.

Requirements

• Experience with jobs-and-skills, HR, or labor market data.
• Experience with hierarchical or taxonomic data.
• Experience building data infrastructure for ML.
• Publications, talks, blog posts, or open source work showing depth in data engineering.

• CAD $125,000 to $160,000 for candidates based in Canada.
