The Opportunity - (Remote - Canada)We are looking for a Senior Data Platform Engineer who will own the end-to-end design, build, and operation of a unified data platform at Wrapbook. Today we have pieces of a data platform in place, but nothing that ties everything together in a scalable, cohesive way. This is a green-field opportunity for someone who has built data platforms before and is energized by cross-functional collaboration and the challenge of balancing immediate needs with long-term architecture. The work is roughly 80% platform engineering (infrastructure, tooling, automation) and 20% data engineering (pipelines and transformations), partnering closely with Product Engineering, Analytics, Compliance, and Security.
What Youll Do- Design and build an integrated data platform - unify our existing tools and pipelines into a cohesive, scalable architecture that serves the entire organization.
- Own data pipelines and SLAs end to end, ensuring data moves reliably between systems with clear expectations and well-defined metrics.
- Define and manage data contracts that prevent upstream changes from breaking downstream analytics, establishing the standards the team builds on.
- Shape the data strategy and platform roadmap - research new technologies, evaluate trade-offs, and introduce tools and frameworks as the platform evolves.
- Stand up observability across the platform - robust monitoring and telemetry so teams can understand system health and troubleshoot quickly.
- Partner with Product, Compliance, and Security on data governance, balancing user needs with regulatory requirements.
- Participate in an on-call rotation to support production data systems.
What Youll Have- A track record of building and operating data platforms in fast-growing or early-stage environments - youve done this before and know what good looks like.
- Strong coding fluency in Python (preferred) and at least one of Java or Scala, with deep knowledge of relational databases (especially PostgreSQL) and hands-on experience with tools like Dagster, Airbyte, Airflow, and dbt.
- Infrastructure automation expertise - experience with Terraform, Ansible, or similar tooling, and comfort working on AWS or other major cloud platforms.
- The ability to design scalable data models and system architectures that balance performance, cost, and governance.
- A self-directed, solution-oriented approach - youre comfortable with ambiguity, propose solutions with clear trade-offs, and drive execution with minimal oversight.
- A collaborative mindset - proven experience partnering across analytics, product engineering, compliance, and security to align architecture with business objectives.
- An AI-centric workflow - you embrace AI coding assistants (such as Claude Code) as essential tools, using them to streamline repetitive work, orchestrate multi-stage tasks, and connect systems and services.
- Excellent communication skills and availability to collaborate effectively with a team.
