About Practice Better
Practice Better is the leading practice management platform for nutrition and wellness professionals. We're building the future of holistic healthcare by empowering practitioners to deliver exceptional care and grow thriving practices.
About the Role
We're looking for an experienced data engineer to own and evolve our data infrastructure, pipelines, and architecture. This role will be responsible for building scalable data systems that support analytics, machine learning, and business intelligence across the organization. You'll maintain and optimize our modern data stack while ensuring data quality, reliability, and accessibility for all stakeholders.
As we move upmarket to serve more established practices, the data engineer will play a critical role in enabling data-driven decision making across the company. You'll build on the strong foundation established by our previous data lead, taking ownership of ETL/ELT pipelines, data modeling, and infrastructure optimization. While the technical work is the core focus, we're looking for someone who can also surface insights and help stakeholders understand what the data is telling us.

Manage and optimize our data warehouse infrastructure (Snowflake) for performance, cost, and reliability
Develop and maintain data models that support analytics, reporting, and machine learning use cases

Implement data quality monitoring, testing frameworks, and alerting systems
Partner with Product and Engineering to instrument event tracking and ensure data completeness across the customer journey
Build and maintain integrations between production systems (including payments infrastructure, CRM, analytics tools) and the data warehouse
Support revenue operations and go-to-market teams with clean, reliable data for tracking performance and customer behavior
Enable better segmentation and analysis to support vertical personalization and moving upmarket
Establish data governance standards, documentation practices, and access controls
Optimize query performance and support analysts with data infrastructure needs
Surface insights and trends from data to help teams make smarter, faster decisions
Evaluate and implement new data tools and technologies to improve our data stack
What You Bring
5+ years of experience as a data engineer, analytics engineer, or backend engineer with data focus
Strong proficiency in SQL and experience with data modeling best practices
Hands-on experience with modern data stack tools: dbt, Snowflake/BigQuery, Fivetran/Stitch, Airflow
Proficiency in Python or another programming language for data pipeline development
Experience building and optimizing ELT/ETL pipelines at scale
Understanding of data warehouse architecture, dimensional modeling, and performance optimization
Experience with version control (Git), CI/CD practices, and infrastructure as code
Strong problem-solving skills and ability to debug complex data issues
Ability to translate technical data work into business insights and communicate findings to non-technical stakeholders
Experience in B2B SaaS or high-growth startups is a plus
Familiarity with BI tools (Looker, Tableau) and analytics workflows is beneficial
