Join us at Curaleaf to be part of a high-growth, purpose-driven company that champions corporate social responsibility through our Rooted in Good initiative, supporting community outreach and positive change.

Title: Principal Data & Analytics Engineer

Location: Stamford, CT (On-site) 

Job Type: Full-Time, Exempt 

About the Role:  

As the Principal Data & Analytics Engineer, you will serve as the senior technical leader for Curaleaf’s modern data and analytics ecosystem. You will define and evolve the architecture, engineering standards and shared platform capabilities that enable trusted, scalable and reusable data products across the organization. This is a hands-on individual-contributor and leadership role. You will work across Data Engineering, Analytics Engineering, Business Intelligence, Data Science, Data Governance, and business-facing product teams. You will help connect Curaleaf’s data lifecycle from source ingestion through transformation, semantic delivery, advanced analytics and business consumption. You will partner closely with the Director of Data & Analytics, Senior Data Engineer, Senior Analytics Engineer and business product owners. Success will come not only from the solutions you build, but also from the technical clarity, reusable capabilities and engineering leverage you create for the entire team. This Principal engineering role will lead through technical direction, architecture, mentoring and cross-team influence rather than direct people management. Impact will be measured across systems and teams, not solely through individual code output.

What You’ll Do: 

  • Define and evolve the end-to-end architecture across source ingestion, Snowflake, dbt, Omni, Hex, and related data services
  • Translate business strategy and product needs into scalable technical roadmaps, architectural patterns, and platform capabilities
  • Establish clear technology boundaries and guide where ingestion, transformation, semantic, reporting, and advanced analytical logic should reside
  • Architect secure, scalable, reliable, and cost-effective Snowflake environments supporting data products, BI, self-service analytics, and data science
  • Partner with the Senior Data Engineer on workload management, access patterns, observability, performance, resource utilization, and production support
  • Lead technical strategies for environment management, data access, workload isolation, platform resilience, and ongoing optimization
  • Define standards for SQL, Python, dbt, ingestion pipelines, data modeling, testing, documentation, deployment, and version control
  • Advance Git-based workflows, automated testing, CI/CD, release management, and engineering quality across the data lifecycle
  • Partner with business product owners, data stewards, Analytics Engineers, Data Engineers, and Data Scientists to design trusted and reusable data products
  • Lead root-cause reviews for significant incidents and convert recurring issues into durable platform or engineering improvements
  • Partner with data owners and stewards to implement quality expectations, ownership, lineage, classification, access, and appropriate-use requirements
  • Communicate architecture, risk, tradeoffs, and investment needs clearly to technical teams, business stakeholders, and executive leadership

    
What You’ll Bring:

  • 8+ years of experience in Data Engineering, Analytics Engineering, Data Architecture, Data Platforms, or a closely related discipline
  • Demonstrated experience operating as a senior technical lead, staff engineer, principal engineer, architect, or equivalent individual contributor with influence across teams
  • Strong hands-on expertise with Snowflake, including data architecture, performance, security, workload management, access patterns, and cost optimization
  • Advanced proficiency in SQL and strong experience with Python for data engineering, automation, platform tooling, or analytical workflows
  • Significant experience with dbt or a comparable SQL-first transformation framework, including project architecture, testing, documentation, deployment, and reusable modeling patterns
  • Experience designing modern analytical data models, including staging layers, conformed dimensions, facts, curated marts, semantic models, and reusable data products
  • Strong knowledge of ingestion, ELT, orchestration, data contracts, schema evolution, data quality, lineage, and production-support practices
  • Experience with Git, automated testing, code review, CI/CD, environment management, and software-engineering practices applied to data systems
  • Experience defining architecture and technical standards while remaining sufficiently hands-on to build prototypes, solve complex problems, and guide implementation
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain technical tradeoffs to business and executive audiences
  • Demonstrated ability to mentor engineers and drive technical alignment without relying on formal people-management authority
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, Information Systems, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience

 

Even Better If:

  • Experience with dltHub or another modern ingestion framework.
  • Experience with Omni, Looker, or another governed semantic and business-intelligence platform.

Form CC-305

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
