Sr Data Engineer

The Senior Data Engineer builds and runs the enterprise data products MeridianLink uses to run the business, including master data (MDM), financial and revenue datasets, AI usage reporting, and governed self-service reporting in Sigma. You’ll work on Databricks with Informatica-ingested data from Salesforce, NetSuite and our product platforms. You’ll partner with Finance, Product and the platform data teams to turn business rules into tested, documented pipelines.

• Own and extend MDM matching: cross-reference tables, human review of matches, and master ID assignment. Accuracy comes before automation.

• Build financial datasets (billing, revenue, ARR inputs) with cross-functional teams and walking them through how the numbers are built.

• Build and Maintain Documentation

• Ship data pipelines through CI/CD (GitLab, Databricks Asset Bundles) with automated tests, schema checks, validation and rollback plans.

• Understand Unity Catalog governance: least-privilege sharing, role-based PII masking, and lineage.
