About the role
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.
