Data Analytics Engineer Jobs in Ontario (NOW HIRING)

Job Description: See what you can do with Prophix At Prophix, we’re building the platform that helps finance teams stop managing spreadsheets and start driving strategy. Prophix One™ brings planning, reporting, consolidation, and automation together in a single place, and we are expanding its AI capabilities faster than ever. If you want to work on a product that genuinely changes how finance teams operate, and do it alongside people who care about getting it right, this is where you want to be. We’re headquartered in the Greater Toronto Area, with teams and offices across North America, Europe, and Australia. Trusted by more than 3,000 finance teams across 100+ countries, Prophix One™ is built for organizations that want to plan smarter and move faster. Prophix is building a data platform on Snowflake that drives revenue, customer success, finance, and executive decision-making. Data infrastructure, AI, and business strategy are all moving at the same time here, and this role sits at the center of that. It is not a steady-state job. You will own the pipelines and integrations that move data from Salesforce, Gong, ChurnZero, Pendo, Eloqua, and Demandbase into Snowflake, and the platform architecture that keeps that data clean, fast, and ready for AI. You take ownership of outcomes, not just tasks, and you build for the next engineer as much as yourself. You work directly with the Director of Revenue Operations & Analytics and alongside Analytics Engineers, and senior business stakeholders, and you can make sense to all of them. If you know Snowflake well, think in systems, and want to build data infrastructure that shows up in board-level reporting and agentic workflows, this role is worth a conversation What You Will Do Snowflake Platform EngineeringWork across the Snowflake platform with real depth: multi-cluster warehouse configuration, resource monitors, query profiling, materialized views, Dynamic Tables, and Snowpark-based compute patterns. You will grow into full ownership of this layerDesign and optimize schemas using star and snowflake dimensional models; govern clustering keys, search optimization, and micro-partition pruning strategies for large-scale analytical workloadsImplement and manage Snowflake security architecture: RBAC, row-level and column-level security policies, data masking policies, and network policiesBuild incremental pipelines using Snowflake-native Streams, Tasks, and Dynamic Tables, keeping logic inside the warehouse and removing the need for external scheduling toolsDrive cost governance through virtual warehouse right-sizing, auto-suspend/resume configuration, result cache optimization, and credit consumption monitoringManage environment lifecycle across dev, staging, and production using zero-copy cloning, time travel, data sharing, and failsafe strategies Pipeline & Integration EngineeringDesign and maintain production-grade ELT pipelines from Salesforce (SOQL, Bulk API, CDC), Gong, ChurnZero, Pendo, Eloqua, and Demandbase into Snowflake using Python and AWS-native tooling (Lambda, Glue, S3)Build REST API connectors and integration frameworks with retry logic, idempotency, dead-letter queue patterns, and schema drift handling so pipelines do not fall over when source systems changeTreat data infrastructure like software: automated testing, peer code review, and a clear promotion path from development through staging to production. Nothing goes live without passing those checks.Own pipeline monitoring: SLA tracking, alerting, data lineage documentation, and incident resolution with a clear root cause every time AI-Enabled Data EngineeringBuild the data foundations that AI runs on: feature stores, embedding pipelines, and clean gold-layer datasets that LLM and agentic workflows can actually useUse Snowflake Cortex LLM functions (COMPLETE, SUMMARIZE, SENTIMENT, EXTRACT_ANSWER) to enrich operational data inside the warehouse, so you are not making unnecessary round-trips to external AI APIsBuild Cortex Search and Cortex Analyst integrations so business users can query Snowflake data in plain English without needing to write SQLBuild agentic data pipelines using Snowflake Notebooks and Snowpark for things like anomaly detection, automated data preparation, and insight generationIdentify manual data processes that AI can take over, then build the pipelines and infrastructure to make it happen Data Modeling & QualityDesign conceptual, logical, and physical data models: entity relationship diagrams, dimensional models (star/snowflake schema), and semantic layer definitions aligned to business requirementsBuild and maintain architecture, enforcing data contracts and automated quality checkpoints at each layerImplement data quality checks: profiling, validation rules, anomaly detection, and visibility into data health that stakeholders can actually see and act onMaintain full data lineage documentation across all sources, transformations, and consumption layers Data GovernanceDefine and enforce data contracts with upstream source system owners: agreed schemas, change notification processes, and SLA expectations that stop pipeline failures before they happenOwn the Snowflake governance layer: object tagging, data classification, access policy enforcement, and audit logging across all environmentsManage schema versioning and Snowflake object changes through infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or Snowflake Git integration), so promoting changes across environments is controlled and documentedBuild and maintain a data catalog that gives analysts and stakeholders a clear, trusted view of what data exists, where it comes from, and what it means BI & Reporting LayerDesign Snowflake views, aggregates, and semantic layers with Tableau performance in mind: live connection optimization, extract-friendly structures, and query patterns that do not kill warehouse creditsPartner with Analytics Engineers on how data models surface in Tableau: what breaks a viz, what slows an extract, and how to structure data so analysts can build without needing engineering support on every dashboardUnderstand the difference between a model that is technically correct and one that is actually usable. Build for the latter. Stakeholder PartnershipTake requirements from RevOps, Finance, CS, and Executive stakeholders and turn them into precise technical specifications. Nothing gets lost in translation.Surface data quality issues proactively, before they reach reports or executive decisions Requirements What You Will Bring We hire for potential as much as experience. If this role excites you but you don’t check every box, we still want to hear from you.
