About the Role
Data Elephant is a boutique data and AI consultancy serving clients across energy, mining, legal, sports/entertainment, and logistics. We're hiring an Intermediate to Senior Software Engineer to join our team.
This is a hands-on, client-facing consulting role on a fast-moving project that is remote in Canada.
What You'll Do
- Design and build an executive-ready application on Databricks Apps, translating stakeholder needs into a working product
- Build BI-style visualizations and reporting components suited for an executive audience
- Contribute app/product thinking to a prioritized use case backlog and help scope future implementation phases
- Participate in client workshops and weekly status reviews, communicating technical progress to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Apply AI/ML capabilities where relevant to enhance the app
What We're Looking For
- 4+ years of software engineering experience, with some exposure to data engineering or data products
- Experience in full-stack development including APIs, CI/CD, and front-end tools such as React, NextJS or Typescript
- Experience building internal tools, dashboards, or applications on top of data platforms - Databricks Apps experience is a strong plus, but experience with other low-code/no-code app frameworks (Retool, Streamlit, Power Apps, etc.) is also valuable
- Comfort working with BI tools (Power BI preferred) and translating raw/early-stage data into executive-friendly visuals
- Some familiarity with AI/ML concepts and applying them in applied, product-oriented contexts
- Strong communication skills - this is a client-facing consulting role
- Bonus: experience in energy, mining, or other industrial/resource sectors
Thank you for your interest. At this time, only applicants based in Canada will be considered.
