Senior Data Platform Engineer - Remote

Lyric; Cheyenne (WY); Remote; USD 125,000 - 188,000; Full time

Job summary

Lyric is hiring a Senior Data Engineer for the Data Platform team to build the data foundation powering its healthcare decision intelligence platform. You will design, implement, and own production data pipelines using Snowflake, Airflow, and dbt, with strong Python and SQL skills at the core.

Join a team that emphasizes observability, data quality, and governance across multi-tenant data domains, while collaborating with stakeholders across invoicing, analytics, and reporting.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in data engineering, building and owning production data pipelines.
• Strong Snowflake experience, including streams and tasks, warehouse sizing and performance tuning, SQL optimization, RBAC, clustering, and micro-partitions.
• Production experience with dbt and Airflow, including how to structure models and DAGs for maintenance.
• Strong programming expertise in Python and deep SQL proficiency.
• Solid data modeling skills for schemas serving multiple consumers and deciding shared vs consumer-specific extensions.
• Experience building testing and data quality validation into pipelines rather than post-hoc checks.
• Disciplined engineering practices: version control, code review, automated testing, and CI/CD.
• Ability to work with non-engineering data consumers and communicate constraints clearly.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and own data pipelines in our unified framework using Airflow, dbt, and Snowflake.
• Implement the canonical data model in production, aligning with the Principal Data Engineer's direction.
• Build automated validation and data quality checks into pipelines to catch defects early.
• Instrument pipelines for observability: freshness, lineage, and failure alerting.
• Enable self-service capability so teams can declare data needs and receive governed output.
• Collaborate with invoicing, analytics, and reporting teams to translate requirements into data products.
• Migrate and consolidate existing workloads onto the unified framework without disrupting consumers.
• Participate in on-call rotation for pipeline and data quality incidents and in reviews.
• Maintain high engineering standards: version control, testing, code review, CI/CD, and documentation.
• Mentor engineers and raise the technical level of the team.
