About the role

Senior Python Engineer for Data Platform Onsite in New York CityI'm hiring a hands-on data engineer for a well-known, mission-driven organization in New York. Small team, real ownership. You design the data model, write the Python that feeds it, and build the Tableau layer people use to make decisions. Nobody else is doing that part for you. What you'll build Python pipelines that pull from APIs, databases, and flat files into a SQL warehouse. Dimensional models (star schema, fact and dimension tables, slowly changing dimensions) that reporting can trust. Tableau dashboards and published data sources on top of those models. Automated tests, monitoring, and CI/CD so the whole thing runs without babysitting. The path from today's SQL Server environment to a modern cloud platform.

What you bring: Python you'd be comfortable having another engineer review. Pipelines, automation, API integrations. Strong SQL. Window functions, query tuning, reading an execution plan. SQL Server experience is a plus. Real data modeling. You can name the grain of a fact table you built and defend it. Hands-on Tableau. You've built the dashboards yourself, not just the data behind them. Git and CI/CD as part of how you work.

Nice to have: Snowflake, Fabric, Databricks, Airflow, dbt, Azure Data Factory, or a legacy migration under your belt.

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.
