Summary

Fully remote data engineer for a global B2B data/SaaS company (via Motion Recruitment), open to candidates in Ontario and BC. Acts as an internal consultancy, scoping problems with business units and building data solutions end-to-end using AWS, GCP/BigQuery, dbt, Fivetran, Databricks, Terraform, and Python/Go.

An established global tech company in the B2B data and SaaS space is hiring a full-time, fully remote Data Engineer, open to candidates in Ontario and British Columbia. You'll join a small, high-impact team that partners with business units across the company, from revenue and operations to corporate functions, to solve their data problems. The tech stack spans AWS and GCP and includes BigQuery, dbt, Fivetran, Databricks, Terraform, and Python.

This isn't a heads-down pipeline role, and it isn't a reporting role either. The team works like an internal consultancy. You'll sit down with a business group, learn what's actually slowing it down, then architect and build the fix. You pick the tools. Some problems call for Databricks, some for dbt, and some for a custom pipeline on AWS. The hiring manager wants a problem-solver with an analytics mindset: someone who listens first, translates a messy business ask into a clean technical solution, and owns it all the way into production. Because the work rotates across departments, you'll build broad multi-cloud experience fast and get visibility across the whole organization. If you've come from big tech or you've worn many hats at a startup, you'll feel right at home. The role is fully remote and comes with base salary, bonus, and equity..
