Summary of Position  

The Data Engineer is responsible for designing, building, and maintaining reliable, scalable data pipelines and data infrastructure that support analytics, reporting, operational decision‑making, and AI‑enabled initiatives across Teladoc Health Canada. 

This role focuses on enabling data integration and migration efforts, ensuring data from multiple source systems—both structured and unstructured—is consistently ingested, transformed, validated, and made analytics‑ and AI‑ready. The Data Engineer works closely with analytics, operations, IT, data governance, and AI & Automation stakeholders to move data initiatives from design through production, while maintaining data quality, documentation, and alignment with enterprise standards. 

Essential Duties and Responsibilities 

• Design, build, and maintain batch, incremental, and file‑based data pipelines to support analytics, reporting, and operational use cases. 

• Support data migration initiatives, including the movement of data from legacy systems to modern platforms, ensuring continuity, accuracy, and reconciliation. 

• Work with enterprise data integration tools such as Talend, including maintaining existing Talend jobs and supporting the migration or re‑implementation of Talend pipelines into other platforms where required. 

• Establish and maintain a robust data engineering environment (e.g., dev/test/prod separation, access controls, naming standards, source control, deployment processes, and monitoring) that enables reliable delivery and safe change management. 

• Support ingestion, storage, and management of unstructured and semi‑structured datasets (e.g., documents, PDFs, text extracts, files, metadata) alongside traditional relational data. 

• Support and optimize data models in Power BI dashboards and Ai-enabled analytics. 

• Prepare and curate analytics‑ and AI‑ready datasets, including clean, well‑defined tables and reference data used in automation and AI‑enabled solutions. 

• Collaborate closely with AI & Automation Specialists to ensure data requirements for AI initiatives are well understood, properly sourced, validated, and production‑ready. 

• Translate business and reporting requirements into scalable data models, transformations, and pipeline designs. 

• Develop and maintain trusted datasets that support dashboards, scorecards, client reporting, and downstream analytics. 

• Implement data quality checks, validation logic, reconciliation processes, and monitoring to ensure data reliability and consistency. 

• Troubleshoot and resolve data issues across ingestion, transformation, and consumption layers, identifying root causes and remediation actions. 

• Develop and maintain clear documentation, including source‑to‑target mappings, data definitions, data lineage, and known limitations. 

• Work in partnership with analytics, IT, data governance, and security stakeholders to ensure data solutions comply with privacy, security, and regulatory expectations. 

• Contribute to the prioritization, planning, and delivery of multiple data engineering, migration, and enablement initiatives in parallel.
