We're building the modern model of fleet management, one that starts with data as the catalyst for smarter fleets, optimized assets, and more resilient businesses\nWe are growing, and we are looking for a Data Engineer who likes to build things from scratch, solve hard problems, and get things done. We're a small, senior technology team on an ambitious growth trajectory, and this is our first dedicated data role. You won't inherit a bureaucracy. You'll build the foundation.\nAbout the Role\nYou will own JPC’s data platform end-to-end: the pipelines that move data, the warehouse where it lives, the shares that deliver it to customers, the governance that keeps it trustworthy, and the analytics layer that makes it useful. Today that means Snowflake and Airbyte at the core, pipelines from our proprietary fleet management platform, third-party fuel/maintenance/telematics providers, and internal systems, with an analytics migration currently underway from Power BI to Superset.\nThis is a platform-ownership role with an analytics dimension, not a dashboards-only analyst seat. Because the platform is young, you’ll have a genuine voice in technology choices: when we evolve or replace a tool, you’re in that decision, not downstream of it.\nWe will consider candidates based in Calgary or Greater Toronto Area. Please take ~5 minutes to complete this survey, your application will not be considered without it: https://secure.personex.com/profile/default.aspx?LANG=ENG&ClientID=b2179a9d-1a2f-11ec-ae9c-165fb6ab0828&uc=LXFFB3PG&QVersion=1\nWhat you’ll do:\nOwn the platform.Run Snowflake (warehouses, RBAC, cost management, performance) and Airbyte (connector health, sync reliability, schema changes, incident response) as production systems you’re accountable for.\nBuild the pipelines.Land data from our core operational systems and third-party providers into the warehouse, accurately, on schedule, and observably, and deliver the internal integrations between business systems where the warehouse is the right backbone.\nOwn customer data shares.Treat them as a product surface with customer trust attached: secure, correct, and isolated per customer.\nSet the governance bar.Classify data (including PII), run access reviews and retention, monitor data quality (freshness, accuracy, anomalies), and set the standard for what counts as a \"trusted\" dataset. Be the named owner for data questions with customers and vendors.\nLead analytics enablement.Take Power BI to Superset from migration to steady state (models, dashboards, access, and adoption), while keeping production dashboards running and new pipelines onboarding smoothly for the business.\nPartner broadly.Work directly with Product, Operations, Sales, Finance, and the Executive team; teach teams to self-serve rather than queue behind you.\nUse AI tooling day to dayto accelerate analysis, pipeline development, and iteration.\nWhat we’re looking for:\nMust have:\n4+ years of experience in data engineering, analytics engineering, or a data platform role, with real production ownership\nStrong Snowflake experience, including administration, RBAC, and performance and cost tuning\nExpert SQL, with comfort modeling business data for analytics\nHands-on experience running Airbyte or a comparable ELT tool (Fivetran, Meltano) in production\nBI platform experience (i.e., Tableau or Superset) with an understanding of semantic modeling, not just chart-building\nPractical data governance experience, including classification, access control, and retention\nWorking fluency with Jira and GitHub - our data work is versioned, reviewed, and planned like the rest of our engineering\nClear communication with non-technical stakeholders, including the Executive team and customers directly\nA track record of owning and delivering projects end-to-end\nA collaborative, energetic communicator who works well within a close-knit team\nNice to have:\nExperience with commercial credit or lending analytics, ideally from automotive or financial services background\ndbt or similar transformation frameworks\nDirect experience with Snowflake data shares is a significant asset\nPython for pipeline glue and automation\nExperience integrating AI tools into your day-to-day workflow\nWhy you’ll love it at JPC:\nHelp shape the future of how commercial fleets are financed and optimized by leading a critical part of our customer experience\nGreen-field ownership: the platform and standards are yours to shape\nA genuine voice in technology choices as the stack evolves\nA small team where your work is visible to leadership and customers\nCompetitive compensation, performance bonus, comprehensive benefits, and other employer supported benefits from day one\nEmployment type:\nNew, Permanent Full-Time\nHybrid - based out of either our Calgary, AB or Mississauga, ON office:Calgary office: 212 Meridian Rd NE Calgary, AB T2A 2N6\nMississauga office: 2425 Matheson Blvd East.
