IT Data Platform Engineer 2 in Remote at RTI Surgical Inc

Current or future sponsorship is not available for this role

About the Role

We are looking for a hands-on Data Platform Engineer to own, operate, and evolve our modern cloud data stack. You will be the primary technical owner of our data infrastructure — responsible for keeping data flowing reliably from source systems into Snowflake and ensuring clean, trusted data reaches our business teams through Power BI. This is a high-impact role on a small, focused team where your work will be directly visible to the business.

What You Will Work On

DATA INGESTION

• Own and manage Fivetran connectors across all source systems including NetSuite, HubSpot, ADP, SQL Server, SAP HANA, and SharePoint
• Configure and monitor sync schedules, column exclusions, and incremental load strategies to control cost and reliability
• Troubleshoot connector failures and proactively manage schema drift from upstream sources

DATA TRANSFORMATION

• Maintain and extend our dbt project across three layers: staging (L1), core dimensions and facts (L2), and business-ready marts (L3)
• Write and optimize SQL models using incremental merge strategies and watermark patterns
• Author and maintain dbt tests, model documentation, and source freshness checks to ensure data quality
• Support the buildout of our finance EDW including GL activity, planning data from Workday Adaptive, and NetSuite financials

ORCHESTRATION & PIPELINE OPERATIONS

• Manage end-to-end pipeline scheduling and monitoring, ensuring daily refreshes complete reliably before business hours
• Maintain the integration between Fivetran, dbt, and Power BI dataset refresh triggers
• Build and maintain alerting so pipeline failures are caught and communicated before the business is impacted

DATA WAREHOUSE & GOVERNANCE

• Manage Snowflake environments including databases, schemas, roles, warehouses, and cost controls
• Implement and maintain access controls and role-based permissions across the data platform
• Contribute to data catalog and lineage documentation to support a growing team and reduce knowledge concentration risk

COLLABORATION

• Partner with Finance, Sales, and Operations teams to understand reporting requirements and translate them into reliable data models
• Support and mentor the junior member of the data team as they develop their skills
• Work closely with the incoming NetSuite implementation team to ensure clean data integration into the warehouse

What We Are Looking For

REQUIRED

• 3 to 5 years of experience in data engineering, analytics engineering, or a closely related role
• Hands-on experience with dbt (Core or Cloud) including incremental models, tests, macros, and documentation
• Proficiency with Snowflake including schema design, query optimization, warehouses, and role-based access control
• Experience with a managed ingestion tool such as Fivetran and dlt including connector configuration and monitoring
• Strong SQL skills with the ability to write and debug complex analytical queries
• Familiarity with ELT pipeline patterns and medallion-style data warehouse architecture
• Experience troubleshooting pipeline failures independently and communicating issues clearly to non-technical stakeholders
• Comfort working autonomously in a small team environment with limited oversight

PREFERRED

• Experience connecting to on-premises source systems (SQL Server, SAP HANA, Oracle) via ODBC or CDC tooling
• Familiarity with ERP financial data in NetSuite, SAP, or similar, particularly GL structures and chart of accounts
• Exposure to Power BI including dataset refresh management and understanding of how semantic models consume warehouse data
• Experience with Git-based workflows and basic CI/CD practices for data projects
• Prior involvement in an EDW build or dimensional modeling project (star schema, slowly changing dimensions)

What Success Looks Like

In your first 30 days:

• You have completed a full walkthrough of the existing stack with our departing team member
• You can independently run, monitor, and troubleshoot the daily pipeline end to end
• You have documented any gaps or risks you have identified in the current setup

In your first 90 days:

• All Fivetran connectors are live and the dlt migration is complete
• dbt is running in dbt Cloud or Snowflake Workspaces with jobs, alerting, and documentation in place
• The Finance team has improved confidence in the GL data flowing through the warehouse

In your first year:

• The data platform is running reliably with minimal intervention and strong business trust
• The NetSuite data integration is live and the finance EDW is serving reporting needs
• You have grown the junior team member's capability and reduced single-person dependency on yourself

Our Stack

You will be working with the following technologies from day one:

• Ingestion: Fivetran, dlt
• Warehouse: Snowflake
• Transformation: dbt (Cloud or Snowflake-native)
• Reporting: Power BI
• Sources: NetSuite, HubSpot, ADP, SQL Server, SAP HANA, Workday Adaptive, SharePoint, Oracle DB

About the Team

Our data team is small and our work has direct impact on how the business makes decisions. We are in a period of transition migrating from SAP to NetSuite, rebuilding trust in our data, and modernizing our platform. The person who takes this role will help shape what our data function looks like over the next few years. We are looking for someone who takes ownership, communicates clearly, and genuinely cares about the quality of the data products they ship.
