JOB SUMMARY

The Data Solutions Engineer supports Higher Logic’s strategic data initiatives by designing, developing, and scaling data pipelines and models that enable analytics, business intelligence, and AI workflows, using both structured and unstructured data. This role is critical in building our data warehouse and enabling AI capabilities across the organization and reports directly to the Chief Data Officer. The engineer works closely with internal stakeholders across departments to ensure data is reliable, accessible, and actionable for both operational and strategic use.

Help design and build the next generation of our data platform. You’ll play a key role in architecting scalable, performant, and governed data systems that power analytics, marketing automation, and customer insights across thousands of clients.
Our environment spans AWS, Databricks, and Power BI, with data flowing continuously from multiple operational systems (AMS, CRM, LMS, events, behavioral streams) into a modern lakehouse architecture. If you thrive at the intersection of data engineering, architecture, and governance — this is the role for you.

 

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITES:

  • Architect and build new data pipelines and lakehouse patterns to handle ~1 TB/day of streaming and batch data.
  • Establish data governance and lineage foundations, designing systems that make data traceable from source through warehouse and back into our platforms.
  • Build and optimize pipelines that power both analytics (Power BI) and operational workloads (e.g., marketing automation).
  • Design performant warehouse schemas and ETL/ELT processes for analytical and reverse ETL use cases.
  • Lead performance and cost optimization initiatives across Glue, Databricks, and S3.
  • Implement data quality, documentation, and testing frameworks using dbt.
  • Develop infrastructure as code using Terraform and automate deployments through GitHub Actions.
  • Partner closely with analysts, platform teams, and business stakeholders to enable data visibility, traceability, and self-service analytics.
  • Act as a senior member of the data team, setting best practices, mentoring others, and helping shape the data platform’s future.

KNOWLEDGE AND ABILITIES REQUIRED:

  • 5+ years of experience in data engineering, including architecting scalable data platforms in AWS.
  • Deep hands-on experience with S3, Glue, Databricks, Postgres/MSSQL, and streaming pipelines.
  • Strong background in data modeling, warehouse performance tuning, and ELT patterns.
  • Demonstrated experience implementing data governance, quality frameworks, and ideally designing lineage systems.
  • Proficiency with Terraform and CI/CD (GitHub Actions) for data infrastructure.
  • Excellent communication skills — able to translate business needs into data architecture.
  • Comfortable operating as a senior team member in a growing data org, influencing architecture and mentoring others.

Nice to haves:

  • Experience with tools like OpenMetadata, DataHub, or Collibra for lineage and cataloging.
  • Exposure to reverse ETL patterns and marketing automation platforms.
  • Certifications in AWS Data, Databricks, or related fields.
  • Experience in multi-tenant or high-scale SaaS environments.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

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.
