Senior Data Developer

About The Data Co.:

The Data Co. (thedataco.com) is building the operating system for the aesthetics industry. Our platform consolidates data from multiple practice management systems, CRMs, ad platforms, and payroll systems into a unified analytics platform purpose-built for aesthetics operators. We sit above all source systems as the single source of truth for operator performance data, with standardized KPI definitions built alongside leading operators.

The Role:

We are looking for a Senior Data Developer who will own the technical backbone of our platform: our dbt transformation layer, our Looker semantic layer, and the integrations that feed them. This is a high-leverage IC role on a fast-moving team. You will report to our Engineering Lead and work closely with the CEO.

This is not a generalist data role. We need someone who is deep in dbt and Looker, comfortable with complex data modeling across a diverse ecosystem of clinical and business systems, and excited about building unified, reliable analytics in an industry that has never had them.

This is a remote-first role with travel to our Montreal headquarters approximately one week per quarter, or as needed.

What You Will Own:

• Design, build, and maintain our dbt transformation models across a multi-source data architecture spanning practice management, CRM, advertising, and payroll systems
• Own our Looker semantic layer: LookML development, Explores, dashboards, and data governance
• Work through the real-world complexity of multi-location healthcare services data: membership and package accounting, revenue recognition, and reconciliation across systems that were not designed to talk to each other
• Collaborate with our integration engineers to ensure clean, reliable data lands in the warehouse from a growing set of source systems
• Drive standardization of KPI definitions in partnership with operators and the product team, so every location and every system speaks the same language

What We're looking for:

Required

• 4+ years of experience in data developering or analytics engineering
• Deep, hands-on dbt expertise: complex models, incremental strategies, testing, documentation, macros
• Strong Looker / LookML experience: you have built and owned semantic layers, not just written queries in Looker
• Solid SQL and comfort working with large, complex, real-world datasets
• Experience with modern cloud data warehouses (BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, or Postgres)
• Strong communication skills and comfort working directly with operators and business stakeholders to define and refine KPIs

Nice to have

• Healthcare, Aesthetics/MedSpa, or multi-location retail or services data experience
• Familiarity with event-stream architectures and treating source systems as event streams
• Python for data tooling or pipeline orchestration
• Experience building analytics products for operators or franchises with complex revenue models

Who You Are:

• You care deeply about data quality and get uncomfortable when definitions are ambiguous or inconsistent
• You are energized by ambiguity in an early-stage company, not paralyzed by it
• You can work independently, push things forward without a lot of hand-holding, and communicate proactively when you are blocked
• You want to be part of building something that matters in an industry you can actually see and touch

Salary

We offer a competitive salary based on experience and qualifications, plus benefits and performance incentives.

Benefits

Group insurance Paid time off and holidays
