Summary

This is an on-site role based in Columbia, MO or Kansas City, MO.
Candidates must be within driving distance and able to work in-office regularly. Remote work is not available for this position.

It's a broad role with real ownership, which is both the appeal and the challenge: there isn't a senior engineer above you reviewing every decision. We're looking for someone ready to own the whole platform and confident enough to ask questions when needed.

What you'll do:

Own the data pipelines
  • Manage automated replication and ingestion into the warehouse
  • Monitor performance, troubleshoot failures, and handle schema changes
  • Add new data sources as business needs evolve

Own the platform architecture
  • Maintain and evolve the cloud warehouse architecture
  • Define layering, naming conventions, performance standards, and cost efficiency
  • Ensure scalability across multiple subsidiaries

Own the data modeling
  • Design and maintain dimensional models (facts and dimensions)
  • Partner directly with Finance, HR, and Operations leaders to translate business needs into data structures
  • Build models that support accurate, decision-ready reporting

Ensure data trust and reliability
  • Build in testing, documentation, and data quality checks
  • Maintain clear data lineage and transparency
  • Ensure stakeholders trust the accuracy of reporting
What we're looking for
  • Strong data engineering fundamentals - clean, maintainable SQL and Python
  • Experience building and operating production data pipelines
  • Hands-on experience with a cloud data warehouse (BigQuery preferred; Snowflake, Redshift, or similar acceptable)
  • Experience with transformation frameworks (dbt strongly preferred) and layered data architecture (raw staging modeled)
  • Solid understanding of dimensional modeling (facts vs. dimensions, star schema design)
  • Experience with ELT / data replication tools (Fivetran or similar)
  • Ability to partner with non-technical stakeholders and translate business needs into scalable data solutions
  • Comfortable owning decisions and operating independently
Nice to have
  • Experience with Google Cloud Platform (Cloud Run, Cloud SQL/PostgreSQL, Pub/Sub, Cloud Scheduler, Secret Manager)
  • Experience integrating ERP systems (Viewpoint Vista or similar) and HCM platforms (Workday)
  • Familiarity with CI/CD-driven data workflows and version-controlled transformations
  • Experience managing warehouse cost optimization
  • Background in construction, engineering, or operations-heavy industries

Reminders:
  • This is strictly an on-site role
  • Must be located within driving distance of Columbia, MO or Kansas City, MO
  • No remote or hybrid work options available

Who Thrives Here:
The person who does well here likes owning the whole thing rather than a corner of it, cares more about whether the numbers are right than whether the pipeline is clever, and would rather ship a model the finance team actually uses than a perfect one nobody asked for. You're comfortable being the person who knows how the data fits together, and you treat "the business owner doesn't quite know what they want yet" as part of the job rather than a blocker.
