Job Summary
The Senior Data Engineer will play a key role in designing, implementing, and optimizing Boost's data infrastructure as part of our modern data platform initiative. This hands-on engineering role will focus on building scalable data pipelines, enabling a centralized enterprise data warehouse on Snowflake, and supporting business reporting needs via Tableau.
The ideal candidate will collaborate across technology, operations, product, and analytics teams to create high-quality, governed, and reusable data assets, while supporting a long-term architecture aligned with Boost's growth.
This role is highly technical and focused on execution and is ideal for a data engineer who thrives in fast-paced environments and is passionate about data quality, performance, and scalability.
Reports to: Head of Data Architecture and Reporting Strategy
Duties and Responsibilities
• Lead the design and development of data pipelines (ETL/ELT) to support the enterprise data warehouse.
• Build and maintain Snowflake-based data models, ensuring performance, scalability, and cost-efficiency.
• Implement robust data ingestion processes from multiple sources (e.g., SQL Server, Salesforce, APIs, flat files).
• Collaborate with analytics and BI teams to power Tableau dashboards and support business reporting.
• Partner with business teams to understand existing reports used by internal and external users; rationalize and centralize data delivery.
• Assist in building a Single Source of Truth (SSOT) through automated and governed data pipelines.
• Apply AI/ML techniques where applicable for data quality, matching, and normalization.
• Enforce data security, access controls, and governance policies across platforms.
• Develop and document architecture standards, pipeline logic, and data dictionary.
• Optimize cost and performance of the Snowflake environment via clustering, caching, pruning, and resource monitoring.
• Participate in Agile sprint planning, standups, and cross-functional collaboration.
Basic Qualifications
• 10+ years of experience in data engineering, data warehousing, or a related field.
• Hands-on expertise with Snowflake including ingestion, transformation, and performance tuning.
• Proficiency in SQL, Python, and ETL frameworks such as AWS Glue, or custom scripting.
• Experience designing and supporting cloud-based data platforms.
• Familiarity with Tableau or similar BI tools for enabling analytics use cases.
• Experience integrating data from APIs, flat files, and relational databases.
• Strong knowledge of data modeling (star/snowflake schemas), ELT/ETL best practices, and data pipeline orchestration.
• Understanding of data governance, metadata management, and access control.
• Excellent problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or equivalent experience.
Preferred Qualifications
• Experience with data cleanup, fuzzy matching, or AI-driven normalization.
• Familiarity with version control (GitLab) and CI/CD pipelines for data workflows.
• Knowledge of Salesforce data structures and integration practices.
• Previous experience in B2B payments or FinTech environments.
• Familiarity with tools such as JIRA, Confluence, and Snowflake's performance monitoring features.
• Experience with building reusable data assets, reference data management, and lineage tracking.
We look for engineers who:
• Design for performance and reusability from day one.
• Embrace simplicity in data modeling and transformation.
• Integrate AI thoughtfully to enhance, not complicate, pipelines.
• Document and automate — not patch and forget.
• Collaborate across functions to bring transparency and trust to our data.
