Data Architect
About The Position
This is a ground-floor opportunity to join a small, high-performing team building modern data infrastructure at an oil and gas company. You will work directly with the CTO on a digital transformation effort, building new systems from the ground up using tools like Python, Prefect, Power BI, Spotfire, React and AI-assisted development. The Data Engineer Architect will support data operations across QB Energy, handling both day-to-day data tasks and contributing to larger engineering projects. Responsibilities will include database queries, reporting, spreadsheet automation, vendor coordination, and full stack application development—including React-based data capture and reporting tools. This is a fast-paced, lean environment where you will be expected to learn quickly, take ownership with minimal oversight, and actively build solutions from day one.

- Proficiency with Excel including data connections, pivot tables, and formulas
- Basic Python knowledge—enough to read, modify, and debug scripts
- Ability to work independently and figure things out without constant direction
- Work sample required: You must be able to show us something you built—an application, a data project, an automation, something that demonstrates you can take an idea and make it real
