Data Engineer

Portland, Oregon, United States

Do you get a thrill from solving puzzles, making messy data make sense, or building systems that just work? Do you love talking shop about pipelines and cloud platforms—but also want to collaborate with kind, curious people who care about doing great work together? You might be a great fit for our Data Engineering team. 

At InterWorks, we help clients turn their data into something powerful, useful, and even beautiful. As a Data Engineer, you’ll be right in the middle of that mission—designing robust data systems, unifying messy data sources, and building pipelines that fuel meaningful insights. You’ll work alongside analysts and consultants, helping organizations move from scattered data to smart, scalable infrastructure. Want to work somewhere where smart people care deeply and get things done with a little style? You’ve come to the right place. 

Location Preferences: 
We’d love for you to join us from one of our offices in Portland, OKC, Tulsa, or Stillwater. Remote work may be possible depending on the situation, let’s chat. 

Salary Range: $90,000–150,000, depending on experience and qualifications 

What You’ll Do 

  • Build modern, scalable data pipelines that keep the data flowing—and keep our clients happy 
  • Design cloud-native infrastructure and automation that supports analytics, AI, and machine learning 
  • Unify and wrangle data from all kinds of sources: SQL, APIs, spreadsheets, cloud storage, and more 
  • Develop ETL/ELT frameworks that improve code quality and make things easier for your teammates 
  • Apply strong data modeling principles to support everything from dashboards to data science 
  • Collaborate closely with other InterWorkers and client teams to understand what they really need 
  • Write clear documentation, contribute to design decisions, and share what you learn 
  • Bring a thoughtful, problem-solving mindset to every project 

What You’ll Need 

Must-Haves

  • Solid SQL skills (and the curiosity to keep leveling up) 
  • Strong experience with ETL/ELT workflows (GUI tools or code-based—either works!) 
  • A clear understanding of data modeling best practices 
  • Deep understanding of data quality, governance, and observability principles and practices 
  • Working knowledge of DevOps concepts 
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines 
  • Excellent communication skills—you can explain tech to humans 
  • A passion for delivering smart, thoughtful, client-centered solutions 
  • A love for learning new tools, frameworks, and approaches 
  • 5+ years of professional experience in a data engineering or technical consulting role 
  • Flexibility and comfort in fast-changing environments 

Nice-to-Haves

  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) 
  • Familiarity with tools like Matillion, Fivetran, dbt, or Snowflake 
  • Exposure to modern data warehouses: BigQuery, Redshift, Databricks, etc.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

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.
