Data & Analytics Engineer

Prophix • Etobicoke, ON

1d • CA$100,000 - CA$125,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

Prophix is building a data platform on Snowflake that drives revenue, customer success, finance, and executive decision-making. Data infrastructure, AI, and business strategy are all moving at the same time here, and this role sits at the center of that. It is not a steady-state job. You will own the pipelines and integrations that move data from Salesforce, Gong, ChurnZero, Pendo, Eloqua, and Demandbase into Snowflake, and the platform architecture that keeps that data clean, fast, and ready for AI. You take ownership of outcomes, not just tasks, and you build for the next engineer as much as yourself. You work directly with the Director of Revenue Operations & Analytics and alongside Analytics Engineers, and senior business stakeholders, and you can make sense to all of them. If you know Snowflake well, think in systems, and want to build data infrastructure that shows up in board-level reporting and agentic workflows, this role is worth a conversation.

Requirements

• 4+ years of production data engineering experience in a cloud-native environment
• Deep, hands-on Snowflake expertise: warehouse architecture, performance tuning, RBAC, clustering, micro-partition management, Streams, Tasks, Dynamic Tables, and cost governance
• Hands-on Snowpark experience: writing Python workloads that execute inside Snowflake, including DataFrames, UDFs, and stored procedures. This is how the AI pipelines in this role get built.
• Strong Python proficiency: pipeline scripting, REST API development, AWS Lambda and serverless patterns
• Advanced SQL: complex multi-table transformations, window functions, recursive CTEs, and query execution plan optimization
• Semi-structured data handling in Snowflake: VARIANT type, FLATTEN, LATERAL FLATTEN, and dot-notation querying. Most of our source systems (Salesforce, Gong, Pendo, ChurnZero) deliver nested JSON and you need to be comfortable flattening it
• Git beyond basic version control: branching strategy for data infrastructure, pull request workflows, and working with Snowflake's native Git integration to sync and manage Snowflake objects directly from a repo
• Proven experience integrating Salesforce data via SOQL, Bulk API, or CDC into a cloud data warehouse
• Hands-on experience with AWS-native data tooling: Lambda, Glue, S3, and event-driven pipeline patterns
• Ability to manage data infrastructure changes through a structured development lifecycle: version control, automated testing, peer review, and controlled environment promotion using infrastructure-as-code tooling (Terraform or equivalent)
• Familiarity with data governance concepts: data contracts, object tagging, access policy enforcement, and schema change management
• Tableau or equivalent BI tool knowledge to understand how your data models perform in a reporting layer. You do not need to build dashboards, but you need to know what breaks them
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or equivalent practical experience
• Must be legally entitled to work in Canada or the United States; valid passport required for occasional travel
• Comfortable using AI tools responsibly to support tasks such as research, drafting, and data review
• Able to learn new tools and adapt as technology and workflows evolve.
• Curious, open to new approaches, and motivated to continuously improve.
• Collaborative mindset when working across teams and with AI supported tooling.

Nice To Haves

• Hands-on Snowflake Cortex experience: Cortex Search, Cortex Analyst, LLM functions (COMPLETE, SUMMARIZE, EXTRACT_ANSWER), and vector embedding pipelines
• Experience designing or operating agentic AI workflows or LLM-integrated data pipelines in a production environment
• Advanced Snowflake performance engineering: reading query profiles, diagnosing spill-to-disk, identifying partition pruning issues, and knowing when the problem is warehouse sizing versus query design
• Event-driven and near-real-time pipeline architecture: Snowpipe Streaming, Kafka connector for Snowflake, or CDC at the infrastructure level beyond standard API polling
• Experience building automated data quality checks into pipelines: row count validation, null rate monitoring, referential integrity testing, and alerting patterns that surface failures before they reach end users
• Snowflake Data Sharing and Marketplace: building and consuming secure data shares, reader accounts, or native app listings
• Python packaging and dependency management for production environments: virtual environments, packaging standards, and dependency pinning that other engineers can reliably run and maintain
• Experience modeling SaaS revenue metrics in a data warehouse: ARR, NRR, churn, logo retention, or pipeline conversion
• Familiarity with GTM and RevOps data sources: Gong, ChurnZero, Pendo, Eloqua, or Demandbase
• Snowflake certifications (SnowPro Core, SnowPro Advanced: Data Engineer) or AWS certifications (Solutions Architect, Data Analytics Specialty)
• Experience in a PE-backed, high-growth SaaS environment

Responsibilities

• Work across the Snowflake platform with real depth: multi-cluster warehouse configuration, resource monitors, query profiling, materialized views, Dynamic Tables, and Snowpark-based compute patterns. You will grow into full ownership of this layer
• Design and optimize schemas using star and snowflake dimensional models; govern clustering keys, search optimization, and micro-partition pruning strategies for large-scale analytical workloads
• Implement and manage Snowflake security architecture: RBAC, row-level and column-level security policies, data masking policies, and network policies
• Build incremental pipelines using Snowflake-native Streams, Tasks, and Dynamic Tables, keeping logic inside the warehouse and removing the need for external scheduling tools
• Drive cost governance through virtual warehouse right-sizing, auto-suspend/resume configuration, result cache optimization, and credit consumption monitoring
• Manage environment lifecycle across dev, staging, and production using zero-copy cloning, time travel, data sharing, and failsafe strategies
• Design and maintain production-grade ELT pipelines from Salesforce (SOQL, Bulk API, CDC), Gong, ChurnZero, Pendo, Eloqua, and Demandbase into Snowflake using Python and AWS-native tooling (Lambda, Glue, S3)
• Build REST API connectors and integration frameworks with retry logic, idempotency, dead-letter queue patterns, and schema drift handling so pipelines do not fall over when source systems change
• Treat data infrastructure like software: automated testing, peer code review, and a clear promotion path from development through staging to production. Nothing goes live without passing those checks.
• Own pipeline monitoring: SLA tracking, alerting, data lineage documentation, and incident resolution with a clear root cause every time
• Build the data foundations that AI runs on: feature stores, embedding pipelines, and clean gold-layer datasets that LLM and agentic workflows can actually use
• Use Snowflake Cortex LLM functions (COMPLETE, SUMMARIZE, SENTIMENT, EXTRACT_ANSWER) to enrich operational data inside the warehouse, so you are not making unnecessary round-trips to external AI APIs
• Build Cortex Search and Cortex Analyst integrations so business users can query Snowflake data in plain English without needing to write SQL
• Build agentic data pipelines using Snowflake Notebooks and Snowpark for things like anomaly detection, automated data preparation, and insight generation
• Identify manual data processes that AI can take over, then build the pipelines and infrastructure to make it happen
• Design conceptual, logical, and physical data models: entity relationship diagrams, dimensional models (star/snowflake schema), and semantic layer definitions aligned to business requirements
• Build and maintain architecture, enforcing data contracts and automated quality checkpoints at each layer
• Implement data quality checks: profiling, validation rules, anomaly detection, and visibility into data health that stakeholders can actually see and act on
• Maintain full data lineage documentation across all sources, transformations, and consumption layers
• Define and enforce data contracts with upstream source system owners: agreed schemas, change notification processes, and SLA expectations that stop pipeline failures before they happen
• Own the Snowflake governance layer: object tagging, data classification, access policy enforcement, and audit logging across all environments
• Manage schema versioning and Snowflake object changes through infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or Snowflake Git integration), so promoting changes across environments is controlled and documented
• Build and maintain a data catalog that gives analysts and stakeholders a clear, trusted view of what data exists, where it comes from, and what it means
• Design Snowflake views, aggregates, and semantic layers with Tableau performance in mind: live connection optimization, extract-friendly structures, and query patterns that do not kill warehouse credits
• Partner with Analytics Engineers on how data models surface in Tableau: what breaks a viz, what slows an extract, and how to structure data so analysts can build without needing engineering support on every dashboard
• Understand the difference between a model that is technically correct and one that is actually usable. Build for the latter.
• Take requirements from RevOps, Finance, CS, and Executive stakeholders and turn them into precise technical specifications. Nothing gets lost in translation.
• Surface data quality issues proactively, before they reach reports or executive decisions

Benefits

• Comprehensive health, dental, vision, and mental-health coverage
• Retirement savings with employer contributions
• Parental leave top-up
• Annual wellness allowance
• Generous paid time off including vacation and sick time
• Education assistance and tuition reimbursement
• Social events, team activities, and opportunities to build community
• Opportunities to participate in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives
• Quarterly Town Halls and Kickoffs that bring teams together to celebrate wins, share updates, and look ahead at what’s next
