A Day in the Life:
- Own data pipelines end to end—from ingestion and transformation through validation and delivery—while bridging modern cloud data architecture with legacy enterprise reporting systems still in active use.
- Architect solutions for scale, including designing data models, partitioning and clustering strategies, and query optimization for datasets ranging from multiple terabytes to petabytes.
- Apply advanced, hands-on Google Cloud Platform and BigQuery expertise to make architectural decisions related to partitioning, clustering, and cost and slot management.
- Build and operate production pipelines from ingestion through final delivery, taking full ownership rather than contributing to only one part of a shared system.
- Use advanced SQL to develop complex queries and optimize performance at scale.
- Work extensively within legacy enterprise reporting environments using SQL Server, stored procedures, and SSRS. This is an active requirement, not simply a technology associated with a previous role.
- Build data monitoring, reconciliation, and automated quality-assurance frameworks to support data validation and integrity.
- Manage ETL/ELT processes and data integration at production scale.
- Use intermediate-level Python for automation and data processing.
- Apply strong database design principles across data solutions.
- Work with data visualization tools such as Power BI, Looker, or comparable platforms; Tableau experience is transferable.
- Approach work with strong analytical skills and attention to detail while independently managing responsibilities and delivering results.
- Actively use AI tools, including Claude through our Anthropic partnership, to streamline tasks, improve the quality of your work, and share best practices with teammates while continuously identifying new ways to integrate AI into everyday workflows.
What it takes:
- Consultative approach and problem solving skills to successfully align digital solutions with long-term business goals of the client
- Hands-on experience using AI tools to enhance daily work, or a strong desire to do so, including a willingness to experiment, learn, and champion AI adoption within your role
- Claude Certified Developer or Architect highly preferred; possible opportunity to obtain as a Sparq colleague

- Ability to perform project oversight and execution of deliverables
- Flexibility to adapt within a high-growth organization

Sparq Insights
What We Do
In the age of AI, differentiation isn’t in what you build - it’s in the problems you choose to solve and the outcomes they unlock. That’s why we help leaders cut through the noise, focus on what matters most, and solve it right the first time. By fusing problem-first thinking, deep technical craftsmanship, and fast, flawless delivery, we de-risk transformation and deliver solutions that stick, scale, and prove their worth. With a deep bench of end-to-end technologists, architects, and engineers, no challenge is too complex and no solution is half-built. At Sparq, your mission is our mission. We’re modular by design - meeting you where you are and accelerating you toward where you’re meant to be. We don’t just guide - we climb with you. Embedded alongside your teams, we chart the course, build with precision, and navigate complexity until your outcomes are achieved. Built to solve, not just to build.
