EnergyHub empowers utilities and their customers to create a clean, distributed energy future. We help consumers turn their smart thermostats, EVs, batteries, and other products into virtual power plants that keep the grid stable and enable higher penetration of solar and wind power.

Data is core to the function and operation of EnergyHub. We spend most of our time on customer facing systems, which means that your work on this team directly improves a product that impacts climate change while improving grid stability at the same time. If you’d like to make a difference for current and future generations using your data skills, you are in the right place.

We operate on a fivetran/DMS/snowflake/airflow stack, and we are in the middle of transitioning our transformation tooling to DBT from a mix of custom python batch processing in aws batch and snowpark wrappers. 

Main Responsibilities

    • Design data models in partnership with product managers, data analysts, data scientists, and occasionally a backend engineer on another team.
    • Port old code into DBT, possibly spotting uncaught bugs along the way
    • Write new pipelines, in DBT, optimizing first for correctness, second for maintainability, and third for performance
    • Set the bar for engineering best practices in an analytics engineering context
    • Occasionally write or patch a data integration (written in python)
    • find, evaluate, and adopt great tools and vendors
    • give and accept feedback readily and with an open mind
    • Participate in and contribute to architecture reviews in data engineering and engineering more broadly
    • Educate, mentor and guide members of the Data team to improve their skill sets

Key Skills and Experience

We recognize that years of experience is an imperfect proxy for ability. If you have deep or intense experiences with any skill listed which do not meet the years listed and you achieved success with those skills, be sure to mention those experiences in your resume!

  • 4+ years of experience using DBT
  • 5+ years of experience using SQL
  • 4+ years of experience with python/R/julia or a similar scripting language, of which at least one year is with pandas
  • 1+ years of experience writing api integrations

Preferred Skills and Experience

  • Mastery of SQL: you have not found a data transformation task that you cannot solve relatively cleanly  in SQL (or at least SQL + Jinja/DBT). You can read, explain, and, refactor a large and complex sql statement into a collection of smaller ones, without access to someone who can answer questions about it.
  • DBT expertise: You are comfortable implementing custom materialization types. You have implemented multiple project structures and can neutrally articulate pros and cons of different approaches. You are fluent in model selection syntax.
  • Mastery of Snowflake: You can articulate the query profile that you are expecting before running a query, given the clustering keys of tables involved. You might have used MATCH_RECOGNIZE for event analysis. You have 1+ years of experience navigating database permissions, or a willingness to read a lot of documentation. You have a working knowledge of future grants and RBAC.

The salary range for this position is $150,000-$190,000. Base pay offered may vary based on location, job-related knowledge, skills and experience.
