Our mission is to simplify team management and improve performance for restaurants, with a long-term vision of creating a thriving restaurant industry through the power of connected & engaged teams.
As the Data Engineer at 7shifts, you will own and evolve the pipelines, models, and infrastructure that power data-driven decisions across the business. You’ll join a small, high-impact Data Engineering team and report to the Manager, Data Engineering, partnering closely with analysts to turn raw data into reliable datasets that support product development, business intelligence, and operational workflows.
What you’ll do:
- Design, build, and maintain ETL pipelines that extract data from sources like Salesforce, Stripe, Zendesk, Google Analytics, and the 7shifts core application into Snowflake, ensuring reliable and observable data ingestion.
- Develop and maintain Airflow DAGs that orchestrate the full warehouse sync cycle, including extract, load, transform, and reverse ETL, to ensure timely and predictable data delivery.
- Write and review data transformation models, establish consistent patterns, and maintain clear documentation to support reliable, well-structured datasets.
- Partner with analytics engineers and data analysts to translate business questions into well-modeled datasets that power dashboards, experimentation, and downstream systems.
- Monitor and maintain data quality by identifying and responding to schema changes, stale tables, and pipeline failures.
- Contribute to improvements across the data platform, including CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes-deployed services, and internal tooling that improve reliability and developer experience.
What you bring:
- Experience in data engineering or software engineering.
- A track record of building and maintaining production ETL pipelines from source systems to a queryable data warehouse.
- Strong programming skills, including proficiency in Python and the ability to write clean, maintainable SQL.
- Experience building well-documented data models and working with version control tools such as Git.
- The ability to communicate clearly with cross-functional partners, including analysts, product managers, and other stakeholders.
- Experience working with cloud-based data platforms.
- A curious mindset and a desire to continuously learn and improve data systems.
It’d be even cooler if you had:
- Hands-on experience with Snowflake.
- Familiarity with Kubernetes, ArgoCD, or similar infrastructure and deployment tools.
- Knowledge of Salesforce and its data structure.
- Experience managing cloud infrastructure using Terraform.
- Experience working in sprint-based development environments.

- Culture: We’re proud to be recognized among the best workplaces in North America. Guided by our mission and values, we move fast to solve meaningful problems and celebrate wins together.

- Equity: We’re a Series C, VC-backed SaaS company, and we believe everyone should share in the success they help create. When we build together, we grow together.
- Health and Wellness: We support Shifties in and outside of work, knowing that what people need can change over time.

- Flexibility: Our team is intentional around how and where we work, whether remotely, in person, or a mix of both. We prioritize candidates who thrive in a hybrid work environment with offices in Saskatoon and Toronto, ensuring in-person collaboration and connection when possible. Plus, we offer a flexible vacation policy to encourage everyone to recharge when needed. Oh, and our ‘90 Day Shift’ program lets Shift work from (almost) anywhere because who wouldn’t want to trade their desk for a beach view once in a while?
- Support: We set Shifties up for success with the tools they need, like the latest Apple tech, a home office setup, and some 7shifts swag to make it official. But support goes beyond day one. We’re serious about professional growth, offering coaching, feedback, development planning, and opportunities to grow from within.
We know you might not check every box, and that’s okay. If you’re excited about this role, inspired to contribute to a meaningful product, and eager to share ideas that drive real change, we’d love to hear from you. We’re building an inclusive team that reflects the diverse industry we serve, and we welcome applicants from all backgrounds.
