Data Engineer

We're Looking for a Data Engineer

At VetFamily, we're reimagining how data engineering drives intelligence and innovation in the veterinary industry. We're seeking a Data Engineer
who combines deep technical skills with strong communication instincts – someone who can design scalable data architectures, guide engineering direction, and empower cross-functional teams to turn data into decisions.

This is a role for a hands-on engineer who is comfortable writing SQL and orchestrating pipelines in DBT and Airflow. You'll have the independence to make architecture decisions, prioritize strategically, and shape how data fuels our products and platform. You'll also be encouraged to collaborate widely—gathering input from product managers, analysts, and business stakeholders—to ensure our data systems serve real-world needs.

About the Role

As a Data Engineer
at VetFamily, you will play a key role in modernizing and scaling our global data platform - one that processes billions in transactions across EMEA, the US, and Asia. You'll take ownership of the technical direction, ensuring the platform's performance, reliability, and scalability support our rapidly growing ecosystem of clinics, suppliers, and partners. You will coordinate between our Commercial team, Data Scientists and Data Engineers and external partners.

Our data stack is modern and still evolving: API/sFPT, Airflow, python, AWS s3 & rds, DBT, Snowflake, Power BI and Metabase. You'll influence how we evolve this architecture to deliver robust data products, streamline data flow, and enable advanced analytics and AI applications across the company as we growth.

What You'll Do

• Pipeline Ownership
  – Design, implement, and optimize ETL/ELT pipelines using DBT, Airflow, python and AWS components.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration
  – Work closely with product, data, and engineering teams to gather requirements and translate them into robust, maintainable solutions.
• Technical Leadership
  – Mentor team members, establish best practices, and promote engineering excellence and data reliability.
• Stakeholder Partnership
  – Engage with business and technical stakeholders to understand priorities, clarify goals, and ensure alignment across functions.
• Decision-Making & Autonomy
  – Drive initiatives independently, make informed trade-offs, and balance delivery speed with technical rigor.
• AI-Enhanced Productivity
  – Use modern tools like ChatGPT, Cody, or Cursor to accelerate development, documentation, and troubleshooting.
