We are hiring for a Senior Data & Analytics Engineer, with a strong preference for candidates based in Victoria, BC, though we will consider qualified candidates in Vancouver. Candidates must bring advanced Databricks proficiency, financial data literacy, and data engineering experience at institutional scale. This is not a traditional IT, Business Intelligence, or Data Engineer role; you will learn the business, forge real partnerships with subject matter experts, and own problems from discovery to delivery. You will still build data pipelines, reports, dashboards, and modern AI agents, but what sets this role apart is the expectation that you drive the solution, not just execute one.

Modern tools, pushing boundaries: We run Databricks, Power BI, and enterprise Claude (already connected to our data platform via MCP) and are actively replacing traditional processes with agentic workflows using Databricks Genie, Claude Skills, and Claude Code.

High-impact work: 75% of the organization uses our analytics; we work with smart ambitious business users and highly analytical people on high-ROI use cases.

Great culture: Fast-paced with world-class expectations, but supportive and genuinely fun.

Reporting to the Manager, Data & Analytics, the Senior Data & Analytics Engineer delivers high complexity end-to-end and full stack analytical solutions and analysis to the business, working with minimal technical direction.

• Bachelor's degree in a related field.

• Minimum 6 years of related experience.

• Advanced proficiency with Databricks (required).

• Advanced proficiency with SQL and Python and platforms like Power BI.

• Advanced proficiency in data modelling, data architecture, and data engineering.

• Demonstrated financial data literacy and experience working with data at institutional scale.

• Demonstrated experience leading complex analytical projects end-to-end at high pace, quality, and value-add, with minimal direction required.

• Evidence of being a top performer, self-starter, curious and capable of learning new skills, behaviours, and tools quickly.

• Advanced proficiency using LLMs and AI-assisted development tools (e.g. Claude, Claude Code).

• Knowledge of the investment management industry.

You will lead, build, and maintain complex end-to-end analytical solutions across the full delivery lifecycle including:

• Requirements gathering.

• Solution design and architecture.

• Data modelling.

• Data pipeline development with clear lineage, reconciliation logic, and validation suitable for financial reporting and audit review.

• Front-end solution development.

• Ongoing support including training and troubleshooting.

• Mentorship of junior engineers on the team.

We will be selective in who we advance to screening, and our process includes a technical assessment designed to evaluate depth of skill in SQL, Power BI, Databricks, and Python. The successful candidate must be operating at a level of seniority sufficient to cover for and act as backup to the Manager in their absence. Candidates whose experience is drawn exclusively from consulting roles are unlikely to be a strong fit for the embedded, relationship-driven nature of this position.

There is a strong preference for candidates based at our Head Office in Victoria, BC. We will consider Vancouver, BC for the right candidate, with the expectation of occasional travel to Victoria. We are an in-person collaborative organization with the flexibility to work remotely one day a week.

The annualized base salary range for this Victoria or Vancouver-based role is CAD $105,000 to $128,000.

BCI offers a competitive total rewards package, including a performance-based incentive plan, comprehensive health & dental benefits, a defined benefit pension plan, and paid time off. We pay our people competitively in the markets in which we operate and with consideration for internal equity and job structure. The base salary will consider factors such as the individual's skill set, experience, and internal equity. We aim for actual pay to be around the market median for expected performance and the upper quartile for excellent performance. Actual salaries may vary based on experience and expertise.
