The Opportunity

Senior Data Engineers are the builders for the business. You are recruited early and help stand up the managed foundation alongside the architect, then build the data products that non-engineering teams need once the architecture is defined and the backlog is ranked. Product engineering teams build their own data products, and both build to the same architecture and patterns the architect defines. Your work begins on the foundation and moves into product delivery without a hard phase gate between the two.

You build to the architect's patterns first. Most of the work is durable, governed analytical products; low-code activation is reserved for specific, safe use cases where it is genuinely the right call. You are trusted to know the difference and to build each one properly.

What You'll Do

• Foundation build. Help the architect stand up the managed AWS foundation and the layered data zones, from raw through to the safe analytical layer.

• Data product delivery. Build the top-ranked data products for non-engineering teams from the backlog, following the architect's patterns rather than inventing your own plumbing.

• Low-code, for specific cases. Ship activation and light analytics through n8n, connectors, and AI, such as write-backs, alerts, and simple aggregations, where a fast, safe win is the right call.

• Governed products, the default. Build the real analytical products on the managed foundation: reproducible, governed, and with full lineage.

• Enabling product teams. Product engineering teams build their own customer-facing data products. Support them so they deploy on the same architecture and patterns the architect defines, through a governed contract, rather than a parallel approach.

• Reliability discipline. Apply the guardrail honestly. If a workflow is high-criticality, high-volume, needs reproducibility or lineage, touches sensitive data, or lacks a clear owner, it belongs on the governed path, not a low-code shortcut.

What You Bring

• Senior data engineering experience, typically 6+ years, building and operating production pipelines end to end, ideally on AWS.

• Strong SQL and Python, and comfort with transformation tooling such as dbt.

• Hands-on, production experience with managed AWS data services (S3, Glue, Athena, and related).

• An instinct for governed, reproducible work: version control, lineage, testing, and documentation as defaults rather than afterthoughts.

• The autonomy to take the defined architecture and roadmap and implement it end to end, without hand-holding.

• The pragmatism to ship a low-code win fast when that is the right call, and the discipline to build the durable version when it is not.

Nice to Have

• Experience with low-code orchestration (n8n or similar) and connector-based integration.

• Exposure to entity resolution, master data management, or building a customer master across multiple source systems.

• Familiarity with data classification, PII handling, and residency controls in a regulated or public sector setting.

• Redshift or comparable cloud data warehouse experience.

Life at Euna Solutions

We're a team of builders, problem-solvers, and public sector champions. We've built a workplace around a straightforward idea: people do their best work when they're trusted, supported, and not running on empty.

Here's what that actually looks like:

🏢 How we work We're hybrid — three days a week in our Oakville or Atlanta offices, with standard hours on those days. What the remaining days look like depends on your role and your manager. We talk about it early in the process so there are no surprises on either side.

🧘 Eunafier Days Twice a year, you get an extra day tacked onto a long weekend. Simple reason: people who take breaks do better work. Use it however you need.

🙌 Community is part of who we are Our Engagement Committee finds meaningful ways to give back through time, donations, and shared expertise. We're invested in the places where our people actually live and work.

🤝 Philanthropy Time We give every employee up to eight hours a year to spend on causes that matter to them. We want you to show up for your community — and we make time for it.

🎉 Real connection at scale You won't know all 600+ people — and that's okay. What matters is building real relationships with the people you work with every day. Our culture team creates consistent opportunities for that, so work doesn't feel isolating.

📈 Room to grow Whether you're going deep on AI, building expertise in government tech, or stepping into a bigger role, we invest in your development — through budget, mentorship, and real opportunity to move when you're ready.
