Data Engineer / Software Engineer

Location: Chicago, IL (hybrid, 3 days/week onsite)

Compensation: $130,000 - $170,000 base + 15% target bonus

Travel: 10-20%

The Opportunity

Join a fast moving, family owned company with under $200M in revenue where your work directly shapes how the business runs. This is a rare seat with real access, you'll work alongside a lean 5 person IT team and have visibility straight up to the C-suite. No layers of bureaucracy, no waiting months to see your work matter.

The company is in the middle of a modern data transformation, standing up a cloud data warehouse on Azure Synapse to consolidate data across the business and build out real data governance and organization from the ground up. You'll be a foundational voice in how that gets built.

What You'll Do

• Design and build a data warehouse on Azure Synapse, consolidating data from across the business into a single, trusted source
• Establish data governance and organizational standards as part of the warehouse build
• Develop and maintain applications in an ASP.NET environment with a SQL Server backend
• Work as a hybrid data engineer/software engineer, comfortable moving between pipeline work and application development
• Use AI tools to accelerate and improve your own development workflow (this is a role that develops with AI, not one focused on building AI products)
• Operate in a Microsoft first environment, with flexibility to bring in other tools where they make sense

What We're Looking For

• 5-7 years of experience spanning data engineering and software engineering
• Hands on experience with Azure, ideally including Synapse or similar data warehousing tools
• Experience with ASP.NET and SQL Server
• Comfort working in a small, collaborative IT team with direct exposure to business leadership
• No visa sponsorship or relocation assistance available for this role

Why This One's Different

This isn't a role where you disappear into a ticket queue. It's a small, tight knit team at a company that's been around, moves fast, and treats its people well. You'll have real ownership, real impact, and a direct line to the people making decisions.

Corporate Functions Data Steward

The organization's data operating model consists of enterprise-wide groups and federated data domains designed to drive accountability and effective management of data. This federated model minimizes overlap and reduces handoffs of data attributes throughout the data lifecycle.

Federated data domains are organized around the different types of data created and consumed across the enterprise (transactional, derived, and master/reference), ensuring there are no overlapping or unclaimed data elements between domains. This structure supports the organization's business activities while establishing clear ownership and accountability for data quality from origination through consumption.

The Corporate Functions Data Domain is responsible for data related to IT, People, and Legal functions.

Core responsibilities of the Data Domain include defining and owning business use cases, managing data across the domain, ensuring data meets consumer needs, overseeing data quality assessments and remediation, maintaining data models and business definitions, and participating in enterprise data governance initiatives.

Corporate Functions Data Steward

As the Corporate Functions Data Steward, you will serve as the strategic leader and subject matter expert for the Corporate Functions Data Domain, encompassing IT, People, and Legal functions. This role requires operating as a domain leader rather than a coordinator.

You will oversee the enterprise systems supporting IT, People (including permanent employees, contingent workers, and affiliates), and Legal processes, ensuring data is accurate, accessible, and aligned with enterprise standards.

A key aspect of the role is understanding how Corporate Functions data is created, maintained, and consumed across the organization to develop the vision and strategy for key platforms supporting these functions, including HR systems, procurement platforms, IT service management tools, and legal systems. You will partner closely with business stakeholders to understand data requirements, usage, and challenges while collaborating with technology teams to define, prioritize, and refine requirements that deliver the greatest business value.

This role also provides leadership for a team of Data Stewards and Data Quality Analysts supporting the Corporate Functions Data Domain.
