Job Description

C2C is not available

Must be authorized to work in the U.S. without sponsorship

Why you will enjoy Mondays again:

Opportunity to work alongside a talented, diverse team in a collaborative and creative environment
Ongoing investment in your growth through training, mentorship, and industry certifications
Hands-on exposure to cutting-edge technologies across multiple industries
Recognition programs and employee awards within an inclusive culture that celebrates great work, including our AI Innovators Program
Remote or hybrid work options
Competitive salary + bonus opportunities
Robust benefits package, matching 401(k) plan, and substantial PTO
Tuition reimbursement

A Day in the Life:

Own data pipelines end to end—from ingestion and transformation through validation and delivery—while bridging modern cloud data architecture with legacy enterprise reporting systems still in active use.
Architect solutions for scale, including designing data models, partitioning and clustering strategies, and query optimization for datasets ranging from multiple terabytes to petabytes.
Apply advanced, hands-on Google Cloud Platform and BigQuery expertise to make architectural decisions related to partitioning, clustering, and cost and slot management.
Build and operate production pipelines from ingestion through final delivery, taking full ownership rather than contributing to only one part of a shared system.
Use advanced SQL to develop complex queries and optimize performance at scale.
Work extensively within legacy enterprise reporting environments using SQL Server, stored procedures, and SSRS. This is an active requirement, not simply a technology associated with a previous role.
Build data monitoring, reconciliation, and automated quality-assurance frameworks to support data validation and integrity.
Manage ETL/ELT processes and data integration at production scale.
Use intermediate-level Python for automation and data processing.
Apply strong database design principles across data solutions.
Work with data visualization tools such as Power BI, Looker, or comparable platforms; Tableau experience is transferable.
Approach work with strong analytical skills and attention to detail while independently managing responsibilities and delivering results.
Actively use AI tools, including Claude through our Anthropic partnership, to streamline tasks, improve the quality of your work, and share best practices with teammates while continuously identifying new ways to integrate AI into everyday workflows.

What it takes:

Consultative approach and problem solving skills to successfully align digital solutions with long-term business goals of the client
Hands-on experience using AI tools to enhance daily work, or a strong desire to do so, including a willingness to experiment, learn, and champion AI adoption within your role
Commitment to understanding and exceeding client expectations
Ability to perform project oversight and execution of deliverables
Flexibility to adapt within a high-growth organization
Ability to lead, mentor and motivate those around them
Hunger for continuous learning and professional development
Intellectual curiosity to provide creative solutions
Full understanding of the software development life cycle
Ability to positively impact fellow colleagues through effective leadership, presentations, coaching, etc.
Desire to work in a team environment
Good interpersonal, written and verbal communication skills

Regardless of your specific role, we seek individuals who are excited to explore, adopt, and evangelize AI tools and methodologies. If you have experience in AI or a proven track record of rapidly learning and mentoring others on emerging tech, you’ll fit right in.

Equal Employment Opportunity Policy: Sparq is proud to offer equal employment opportunity without regard to age, color, disability, gender, gender identity, genetic information, marital status, military status, national origin, race, religion, sexual orientation, veteran status, or any other legally protected characteristic.
