Job Description

Mindex is looking for a Data Engineer with strong SQL and data analysis instincts to join a growing data platform team. In this role, you'll build and maintain data pipelines, models, and transformations in Snowflake using DBT and turn raw, messy source data into reliable, analysis-ready datasets.

The single most important skill for this role is data analysis ability: the capacity to dig into unfamiliar source systems, understand what the data means, surface data quality issues, and make well-reasoned decisions about how to model and use it. Strong communication skills are equally important. You'll need to document your findings and decisions clearly for both technical and non-technical audiences.

Compensation

$90,000 - $140,000

What You'll Accomplish

Build and maintain DBT models (Core), including models, tests, macros, and lineage documentation
Design and optimize Snowflake objects, dynamic tables, views, and schemas, for performance and clarity
Develop and support data ingestion pipelines using tools such as Informatica, Fivetran, or Openflow
Profile and analyze source data from complex, multi-domain systems (HRIS, payroll, client platforms) to surface quality issues and inform modeling decisions
Write advanced SQL to investigate data, validate transformations, and answer ad hoc business questions
Collaborate with data architects to implement canonical data models and ensure consistency across domains
Document data quality findings, transformation logic, and modeling decisions in a clear and defensible way

Requirements

3+ years of hands-on experience with advanced SQL
2+ years of experience with DBT Core (models, tests, macros, sources, lineage)
2+ years of experience with Snowflake (dynamic tables, views, performance tuning, schema design)
Experience with data ingestion/replication tooling such as Informatica, Fivetran, or Openflow
Demonstrated ability to profile and analyze source data from complex or poorly documented systems
Proficiency in Python for data processing and pipeline support
BS degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience
