About the role
We are looking for a Data Engineer to join our Data & Analytics team in Houston, Texas, and help strengthen the reporting foundation that supports decisions across the business. In this role, you will shape data into reliable, business-ready models, develop scalable reporting structures, and work closely with teams such as Finance and Operations to turn complex rules into clear insights. This position blends technical data engineering with analytics-focused development, offering the opportunity to improve reporting quality, maintain dependable data flows, and contribute to ongoing enhancements in our analytics environment.

Develop and maintain structured data models, including staging layers, reporting tables, and dimensional designs within the Azure-based data warehouse environment.
Create and support Power BI semantic models, calculated measures, security configurations, dashboards, and reports used for operational and enterprise reporting.
Monitor scheduled data workflows and dataset refresh activity, investigate processing issues, and resolve failures to keep reporting available and accurate.
Adjust and enhance existing ETL and orchestration processes as business needs evolve, using tools such as Azure Data Factory and related Microsoft data platforms.
Collaborate with stakeholders across functions to translate reporting needs, financial logic, and operational rules into dependable analytical solutions.
Produce clear technical and business documentation covering model design, metric definitions, transformation logic, and data ownership.
Apply and help refine development standards for naming, modeling approach, query design, and reporting structure to improve consistency and quality.
Identify opportunities to streamline current data practices, improve performance, and introduce effective tools or methods that strengthen analytics capabilities.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
