About The Role:
Neo Financial has an opportunity for a Senior Data Engineering Developer to join our team in Calgary, AB.
We believe that data is a competitive advantage for Neo. As a Senior Data Developer, you’ll play a pivotal role in setting the technical direction for Neo’s data platform and building out key systems and solutions with data at the core.
We use a cloud-based, modern data architecture in our everyday work, including many state of the art tools and technologies. But we believe that a great data engineer with great developer fundamentals can learn any tech.
What you’ll be doing:

• Build solutions using our high-tech data platform that includes Dbt, Snowflake, Apache Spark, Airflow, Kafka, AWS and Databricks (plus more).
• Actively make an effort to teach others, mentor the team, collaborate, and be involved.
• Set the pace and set the bar as one of our best hands-on data engineers at Neo
• Perform code reviews to ensure that the work done by the team meets the highest standards and best practices.
• Own projects and systems in production, ensuring they are operating to the highest standards and meeting challenging SLAs.
• Develop patterns, abstractions, libraries, templates and other standards to help the team move fast and avoid reinventing the wheel.
• Make improvements to our data platform to optimize efficiency and help us scale - not only to higher volumes of data but to bigger teams and more complex projects.
• Be the voice for concerns like scalability, performance, security, and maintainability.
• Lead standup meetings, retrospectives, or technical reviews of product stories
• Help maintain and deploy cloud infrastructure around data.
• Write Python code for most projects, including automated tests.

What we are looking for:

• Experience using Airflow, s3, and Databricks are highly important.
• Strong leadership behaviours including giving confident feedback, presenting solution plans to executives, or participating in mentorship activities every day.
• 5+ years of strong experience with Python (or similar languages)
• Ability to leverage development best practices throughout your work - like source-control, automated testing, CI/CD deployment pipelines, code reviews, etc.
• Comfortable building solutions in cloud-based environments like AWS, Azure, or similar.
• 2+ years of experience in data modeling in an enterprise data warehouse setting.
• Applicants must be eligible to work in Canada and willing to relocate
