Thedataco•Westmount, QC

33d•Remote

About The Position

The Data Co. (thedataco.com) is building the operating system for the aesthetics industry. Our platform consolidates data from multiple practice management systems, CRMs, ad platforms, and payroll systems into a unified analytics platform purpose-built for aesthetics operators. We sit above all source systems as the single source of truth for operator performance data, with standardized KPI definitions built alongside leading operators. We are looking for a Senior Data Developer who will own the technical backbone of our platform: our dbt transformation layer, our Looker semantic layer, and the integrations that feed them. This is a high-leverage IC role on a fast-moving team. You will report to our Engineering Lead and work closely with the CEO. This is not a generalist data role. We need someone who is deep in dbt and Looker, comfortable with complex data modeling across a diverse ecosystem of clinical and business systems, and excited about building unified, reliable analytics in an industry that has never had them. This is a remote-first role with travel to our Montreal headquarters approximately one week per quarter, or as needed.

Requirements

4+ years of experience in data developering or analytics engineering
Deep, hands-on dbt expertise: complex models, incremental strategies, testing, documentation, macros
Strong Looker / LookML experience: you have built and owned semantic layers, not just written queries in Looker
Solid SQL and comfort working with large, complex, real-world datasets
Experience with modern cloud data warehouses (BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, or Postgres)
Strong communication skills and comfort working directly with operators and business stakeholders to define and refine KPIs

Nice To Haves

Healthcare, Aesthetics/MedSpa, or multi-location retail or services data experience
Familiarity with event-stream architectures and treating source systems as event streams
Python for data tooling or pipeline orchestration
Experience building analytics products for operators or franchises with complex revenue models

Responsibilities

Design, build, and maintain our dbt transformation models across a multi-source data architecture spanning practice management, CRM, advertising, and payroll systems
Own our Looker semantic layer: LookML development, Explores, dashboards, and data governance
Work through the real-world complexity of multi-location healthcare services data: membership and package accounting, revenue recognition, and reconciliation across systems that were not designed to talk to each other
Collaborate with our integration engineers to ensure clean, reliable data lands in the warehouse from a growing set of source systems
Drive standardization of KPI definitions in partnership with operators and the product team, so every location and every system speaks the same language
