Remote ETL and Database Administrator
Transform Data. Shape Business Outcomes.
Can you architect seamless data flows that empower entire organizations? If solving complex integration puzzles excites you, this is your opportunity to make a genuine difference—on your terms, from wherever you feel most productive. With data-driven decision-making at the heart of our mission, your expertise ensures that business leaders, analysts, and product teams always have clean, reliable, and accessible data readily available.
Why This Role Matters
Every metric, report, and product decision begins with the data pipelines you design and maintain. You’ll ensure our ETL processes are resilient, our databases are optimized, and our teams move confidently—knowing the data they rely on is always trustworthy. Your efforts are the backbone behind real-time analytics, growth strategies, and impactful customer experiences. When you streamline a process, you unlock potential across the business.
Your Day-to-Day Impact
Build and Optimize ETL Workflows
You’ll orchestrate robust extraction, transformation, and loading routines, moving data seamlessly from diverse sources into our core systems. Whether it’s integrating new APIs or automating legacy data migrations, your solutions minimize manual effort and maximize reliability.
Safeguard Database Integrity
From tuning query performance to configuring automated backups, you make sure our databases are resilient and performant. Your monitoring prevents bottlenecks, and your proactive maintenance stops issues before they reach production.
Drive Data Quality and Accessibility
You’ll design validation checks and transformation logic that ensure data is not only accurate but also actionable. Collaborating with analysts and engineers, you’ll surface insights that fuel more brilliant business moves, enabling everyone to do their best work.
Lead Data Security and Compliance
Your work ensures that sensitive information remains protected and audit trails are rock-solid. Whether it’s GDPR, HIPAA, or internal security standards, you ensure we meet every requirement without slowing innovation.
Automate and Document
Every workflow you build is documented, so you (and your colleagues) never have to guess what’s happening under the hood. You automate recurring tasks, freeing up time for deeper problem-solving and learning.
The Tools You’ll Master
We work with cloud-native solutions and modern database management systems. Expect to dive into environments like AWS Redshift, Snowflake, Azure SQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB. Your daily toolkit might also include orchestration platforms such as Apache Airflow, ETL scripting in Python or Scala, and data modeling in DBT or similar frameworks. We value creative problem solvers who aren’t afraid to bring in new tech to solve old challenges.
Collaboration Is Key
You won’t just “support” teams—you’ll partner with product managers, engineers, and business leaders to build solutions people truly rely on. Whether it’s over a focused Slack thread, a quick Zoom huddle, or a shared dashboard, you know how to communicate technical nuance without jargon. Your ability to simplify complexity bridges the gap between data and decisions.
