Data Engineer

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Join SADA as a Data Engineer!

Your Mission

As a Data Engineer at SADA, you will work collaboratively with key business leads, architects, analysts, and data scientists to understand the business domain and how data can empower them. You will engage with fellow engineers to develop and optimize data platforms, focusing on business intelligence and data engineering to ensure seamless data flows and insightful reporting. You will have the opportunity to propose, define, and develop metrics for business reporting and product/process performance monitoring to drive decision-making for our customers. Engagements vary from consultative to hands-on work and cover a range of domain areas, including BI tool migrations, data pipeline engineering, and big data analytics solutions.

You will be expected to run point on whole projects, end-to-end, and to mentor less experienced Data Engineers. You will be recognized as an expert within the team and will build a reputation with Google and our customers. You will demonstrate repeated delivery of project architectures and critical components that other engineers demur to you for lack of expertise. You will also participate in early-stage opportunity qualification calls, as well as guide client-facing technical discussions for established projects. 

Pathway to Success

At SADA we are in the business of change. We are focused on leading-edge technology that is ever-evolving. We embrace change enthusiastically and encourage adaptability. This means that not only do our engineers understand that change is inevitable, but they embrace this change to continuously broaden their skills, preparing for future customer needs. 

Your success comes from your enthusiasm, insight, and positive impact. You will be given direct feedback quarterly with respect to the scope and quality of your contributions, your ability to estimate accurately, customer feedback at the close of projects, your collaboration with your peers, and the consultative skill you demonstrate in customer interactions.

As you continue to execute successfully, we will build a personalized development plan together that leads you through the engineering or management growth tracks.

Expectations

Required Travel - <10% travel to customer sites, conferences, and other related events. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, travel has been temporarily restricted.

Customer Facing - You will interact with customers on a regular basis, sometimes daily, other times weekly/bi-weekly. Common touchpoints occur when qualifying potential opportunities, at project kickoff, throughout the engagement as progress is communicated, and at project close. You can expect to interact with a range of customer stakeholders, including engineers, technical project managers, and executives.

Training - Ongoing with a first-week orientation at HQ followed by a 90-day onboarding schedule. Details of the timeline can be shared.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1

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.
