Data Warehouse Developer
Description
Every day, we work together for what matters – bold, swift, and equitable climate action.
ABOUT THE ROLE
This is an exciting opportunity to join 3Degrees as a Data Warehouse Developer, a role that is crucial in driving climate action and supporting a decarbonized future. As a Data Warehouse Developer, sometimes referred to as a "Data Architect," you will be responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining robust data warehousing solutions on the Azure stack. You will be leveraging Azure services such as Azure Data Factory, Logic Apps, and Synapse Analytics to build efficient data pipelines and implement complex ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes. This role is essential for transforming raw data into actionable insights, and you will be responsible for implementing the architectural strategies developed by the Enterprise Architect.
This is a full-time role reporting to the Senior Director of Engineering. We value camaraderie, team collaboration, and the benefits of in-person connection, while offering flexibility. For this role, we prefer candidates to join us in a voluntary, flexible hybrid work style in our San Francisco Bay Area office. We may also consider candidates who are able to join us at one of our office hubs in Portland, OR; Portland, ME; or New York, NY.
For exceptional remote candidates, we strongly prefer those located in states where we are currently eligible to hire: CA, OR, NY, WA, ME, TX, CO, MI, FL, MA, MN, VA, DC, GA, UT, and IL. While we prioritize candidates in, or open to relocating to, these states, we may consider outstanding remote candidates from other US states. Please note that hiring in a new state would involve evaluating the implications of establishing a new hiring presence there.
Please Note: 3Degrees does not provide sponsorship or work authorization assistance; therefore, pre-existing right-to-work status is a prerequisite to be considered for this position.
