Data Engineer - REMOTE
Flexion is looking for a Data Engineer for an enterprise-level application development project. In this role, you must possess excellent problem-solving skills and deep technical knowledge, with a strong aptitude for understanding the focus, scope, and impact of your work in a broader, forward-looking software landscape.
What the job looks like:
We are looking for a Data Engineer particularly strong on the backend. Working closely with business and technical stakeholders, you will deliver scalable, high-performance data solutions that support operational systems, reporting, analytics, and decision-making. You will also drive automation, monitor data platform health, and support the modernization and continuous improvement of data systems. You must possess excellent problem-solving skills and technical knowledge with a strong aptitude for appreciating the focus, scope, and impact of your work in a much wider and forward-looking software landscape.
Why we want to hire you:
You can design small pieces as you go, while still thinking about how they fit into the whole. You welcome change as a positive thing (instead of viewing it as "rework") and never look at anything you deliver as "final." You understand when "good enough" really IS good enough, without ever compromising on the overall product quality. You understand that a focus on team health, communications and problem-solving are what creates a good working team.
You have:
- 5+ years of Development experience
- Bachelor's degree and/or equivalent experience
- Expertise in SQL and one or more programming languages (e.g., Python, Java, Scala).
- Experience designing and optimizing ETL/ELT pipelines and data integration solutions.
- Strong knowledge of relational, NoSQL, and cloud-native databases.
- Experience with cloud data platforms (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud) and modern data services.
- Knowledge of data modeling, warehousing, and lakehouse architectures.
- Experience implementing data quality, governance, security, and metadata management.
- Performance tuning, monitoring, and troubleshooting of large-scale data systems.
- Databricks experience
- Experience with Test Driven Development, automated unit testing, and end-to-end testing
- Superb time-management, communication, and problem-solving skills
At Flexion, we live by these principles:
- Speak openly and honestly with your colleagues and clients about problems and proposed solutions
- Welcome and handle changing requirements and priorities with little or no warning
- Collaborate online in small groups about 50% of the time
- Encourage simple and minimal solutions that keep options open
- Expect and vocally advocate for quality first
- Learn new practices and techniques as the situation demands
- Ensure the teams develop demonstrable software every week or two
- Do what needs to be done to deliver the product or project without ego or attitude
- Dig deep to find the root causes of problems so we can create the right solutions
- Relentlessly improve yourself, your team, and your processes
- Offer and welcome constructive feedback as a tool for continuous team and individual growth
- Embrace AI-powered development tools (e.g., Claude Code, Codex, Copilot) as force multipliers to accelerate innovation, iterate rapidly, and maintain high-quality output across the stack.
