Role summary

ev.energy is seeking a Senior Data Engineer to design and own scalable data pipelines and warehousing architecture using their modern data stack (Fivetran, Snowflake, dbt). This role involves leading architectural decisions, ensuring data quality and observability, and modeling data for operational and analytical use cases. The ideal candidate will have 5+ years of data engineering experience, strong Python, SQL, data modeling, and warehousing skills, and experience with AI coding tools. Experience with ML, real-time analytics, or specific domains like energy is a plus. The position is fully remote in Canada.

About ev.energyWe are building the world's largest EV-centric virtual power plant (VPP). By connecting to vehicles, chargers, batteries, solar, and other distributed energy resources, we turn households into flexible grid assets that balance supply and demand, preventing blackouts and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.We are scaling rapidly across North America and Europe. We are moving fast, we are AI-first, and we are looking for builders who want to power the grid of the future.About the roleData is at the heart of everything ev.energy does — from measuring charging events and grid impact to calculating the utility incentives we pay drivers. As we scale our data function, we're hiring a Senior Data Engineer to lead the design of our warehousing architecture and own our pipelines end-to-end, from ingestion through to the analytics and payouts they power.
What you’ll do

Design, build, and own scalable data pipelines across our modern data stack (Fivetran, Snowflake, dbt, with Holistics and Hex for analytics), from ingestion to warehousing to delivery

Lead architectural decisions across the data platform — including infrastructure like our OLake → Iceberg → Snowflake pipeline — setting technical direction and establishing performance and cost baselines

Own data quality, lineage, and observability: freshness, completeness, schema-drift detection, cost-per-job, and SLAs — the correctness our incentive payouts depend on

Partner with engineering and analysts on projects like telematics accuracy and the driver incentive reporting, turning business requirements into reliable, well-modeled data

Model data for both operational and analytical use cases, and build the dbt transformation layers (staging / intermediate / mart) that keep it maintainable and transparent

AI-first development

Use AI tooling (Claude, Cursor, and equivalents) as a core daily practice — to build pipelines, write and review SQL and dbt models, and move faster without cutting corners on quality

Our team runs on AI-native infrastructure (agentic routines, shared skills, an internal competency framework); you'll use it, improve it, and bring the best of the ecosystem back to the team

What we're looking for

5+ years in data engineering (or backend engineering with a heavy data focus)

Hands-on at scale with a cloud warehouse (Snowflake ideally) and dbt; strong Python and SQL; solid data modeling, warehousing, and schema design

Comfortable owning systems end-to-end in a fast-moving environment — you build it, you run it

Already using AI coding tools day-to-day and excited to push how far they go

Also nice to have

Experience supporting production ML or real-time analytics workflows

Familiarity with CDC / streaming (Apache Iceberg, S3) and BI tooling (Holistics, Hex)

Background in energy, IoT, payments, or another high-volume, correctness-critical domain
