This is a hands-on player-coach role, contributing directly to data architecture, modeling, and pipeline development while setting technical standards and best practices for the team. Reporting to the Director of Data & Analytics, this role owns key aspects of SNDL’s Azure- and Fabric-based data platform, supports the evolution of a data mesh approach, and ensures data products are trusted, well-governed, and aligned with business outcomes.

  • Design and build Fabric Lakehouses and Warehouses using Medallion Architecture (Bronze / Silver / Gold).
  • Develop ingestion, transformation, and orchestration pipelines using Fabric Data Factory, Fabric Notebooks (Spark / Python), and T-SQL.
  • Implement OneLake-centric integration patterns, including Fabric Shortcuts for Dynamics 365 F&O, Dataverse, and other enterprise sources.
  • Lead and contribute to dimensional and analytical data modeling to support Power BI semantic models.
  • Act as a control owner for analytics data processes, ensuring compliance with internal controls, SOX, and audit requirements.
  • Work with the team’s business analyst, data product owners, and business stakeholders to translate requirements into technical deliverables and robust data products.
  • Develop and promote a self-service analytics culture by enabling business teams to easily access and use trusted data products.
  • Engage with application development teams to provision data products that serve SNDL’s application (ex. e-commerce) data needs.
  • Qualifications

  • 5+ years in data engineering with at least 2+ years managing data engineering teams.
  • Proven experience designing and delivering enterprise-scale data platforms on Azure and Microsoft Fabric.
  • Hands-on expertise with Microsoft Fabric components (Lakehouse, Data Warehouse, Data Factory)
  • Strong SQL and Stored Procedure development skills and experience with medallion / layered architecture / data warehouse patterns.

  • Strong leadership skills with a track record of coaching and developing high-performing data engineering teams.
  • Knowledge of Power BI semantic models and report development.
