Lead Data/Analytics Engineer

CAD $185,000 – CAD $220,000 per year

TLDR

Own event instrumentation, build trusted metrics layers in Snowflake and dbt, and design product experiments with Amplitude.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

Product Analytics & Experimentation (40%)

  • Own the event pipeline from instrumentation through Segment into Amplitude, Iterable, and Snowflake, including sources, destinations, and reverse ETL

  • Define and publish a typed event schema and governance workflow that frontend teams build against, so event data stays consistent across web and mobile

  • Design and validate tracking plans for new features and surfaces, and confirm events flow end to end before launch

  • Partner with product managers to design experiments in Amplitude: define hypotheses, select metrics, set guardrails, and size tests

  • Build Amplitude charts, funnels, cohorts, and dashboards that help product teams answer their own questions without waiting on you

  • Debug identity resolution, user properties, and experiment assignment issues across Segment, Amplitude, and downstream tools

  • Analyze experiment results and present findings to stakeholders with clear recommendations

  • Data Engineering & Infrastructure (35%)

  • Build, maintain, and optimize ELT pipelines using dbt, Prefect and Fivetran

  • Own core datasets and dbt models in Snowflake in partnership with the BI and product engineering teams

  • Lead infrastructure modernization: orchestration and dbt version upgrades, flow runtime reduction, Snowflake compute and storage cost optimization

  • Drive warehouse security and governance work, including access controls, remediation of security assessment findings, and PII handling

  • Implement data quality tests, freshness checks, observability, and alerting across critical pipelines

  • Troubleshoot pipeline failures and data incidents, and drive root-cause fixes rather than patches

  • Metrics, Semantic Layer & AI Data Products (25%)

  • Deliver ready-to-consume data marts that power product features such as recommendations and personalization, plus the baselines to measure them

  • Contribute to the semantic layer that gives BI tools and AI features a single source of truth for metric definitions

  • Supply reliable, well-governed data to AI features that improve the member experience and vet workflows

  • Define and document the company’s core metrics so every team calculates things the same way

  • WHAT YOU'LL BRING:
  • 6+ years of experience in analytics engineering, data engineering, or hybrid data roles

  • Strong proficiency in SQL and Python

  • Deep hands-on experience with Snowflake or a comparable cloud data warehouse

  • Production experience with dbt, including testing, documentation, and CI

  • Experience with product analytics platforms, ideally Amplitude, including funnels, cohorts, experiment configuration, and identity resolution

  • Experience with customer data platforms and event pipelines, ideally Segment, including tracking plan design, destination management, and debugging

  • Demonstrated experience designing and analyzing A/B tests or product experiments

  • Experience with orchestration tools such as Prefect, Airflow, or Dagster

  • Comfortable with Git-based workflows and CI/CD tools such as GitHub Actions

  • Uses AI tools (code assistants, LLMs, etc.) as part of daily work and can show how

  • Familiarity with BI tools like Sigma, Looker, or Tableau

  • Bonus: experience with semantic layers, data contracts, ML/LLM applications in production, or cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure)

  • WHY YOU'RE A GREAT FIT:
  • You treat trust in the numbers as the product. When a metric is wrong, you feel it personally

  • You can build an event taxonomy from scratch and also explain to a PM why their experiment needs a bigger sample size

  • You’re as comfortable writing dbt models as you are reviewing an experiment readout with a product lead

  • You use AI tools every day to move faster and expect to keep pushing that boundary

  • You’re self-directed and comfortable managing your own priorities in a fast-moving environment

  • You care about data quality, reproducibility, and documentation because you’ve been burned by their absence

  • You love animals
