Junior Data Engineer

At Bionic, we're making life radically easier for small business owners. We’re building a one-stop shop for business essentials that’s powered by smart technology and world class human service, giving them an experience so good that they trust Bionic to sort all their business needs for them. 

The Role 

Build data that matters. Learn fast. Make an impact. 

At Bionic, we’re on a mission to make business easier. Smarter. More human. And data sits right at the heart of that. 

We’re looking for two Junior Data Engineers who are early in their career, curious by nature, and ready to roll up their sleeves. You’ll help us deliver trusted, high-quality data that powers everything from reporting to decision-making, while learning modern engineering best practice in a genuinely supportive environment. 

If you enjoy solving problems, building things properly, and want to grow alongside experienced engineers, this role is for you. 

What you’ll be doing 

You’ll work hands-on with our modern data platform (AWS, Snowflake and dbt) to build reliable, scalable data solutions. With guidance from senior engineers, you’ll: 

• Build and maintain batch data pipelines across AWS, Snowflake and dbt 

• Develop and improve dbt models and tests to keep our data accurate and consistent 

• Monitor scheduled jobs and data quality checks, investigating issues when things go wrong 

• Troubleshoot pipeline failures and performance problems, learning from post-mortems 

• Work closely with Analytics and Salesforce teams to understand requirements and turn them into technical solutions 

• Contribute to documentation, version control and code reviews 

• Follow secure engineering practices when handling sensitive data 

• Help design and maintain analytics-ready data models, including clear fact and dimension tables 

About you 

As our ideal candidate, you should possess: 

• Experience building or supporting data pipelines, reporting datasets, or ETL/ELT processes 

• Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to debug issues and clearly explain your approach 

• Good SQL capability (joins, aggregations, basic window functions) and confidence writing data transformations 

• Working knowledge of Python for data tasks (scripts, automation, APIs/files), with appetite to deepen skills 

• Familiarity with Snowflake or similar cloud data warehouses (queries, compute, roles/access basics) 

• Ability to work in a structured delivery environment (tickets, priorities, deadlines) 

• A collaborative mindset, be coachable, and open to feedback through pairing, reviews, and mentoring 

• Ability to navigate ambiguous requirements, ask smart questions, and iterate towards solutions 

• Exposure to BI tools such as Tableau (or similar) and how data is used for reporting
