The Opportunity
Praxis is expanding the engineering team behind its commercial data foundation. We're looking for a Senior Data Platform Engineer, Commercial to build and maintain the pipelines, models, and integrations that give commercial teams dependable data for execution and decision-making.
This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who can translate business needs into well-engineered, tested, and maintainable data products. You'll work directly with commercial data owners and technical partners to turn approved business definitions into trusted data, while taking ownership for data quality, operational reliability, documentation, and ongoing support.
You'll partner closely with the Senior Snowflake Platform Engineer on production delivery and support. Your primary focus will be commercial data pipelines, transformations, models, and integrations; both engineers will troubleshoot SQL and Python, maintain operational documentation, and cross-train to provide reliable coverage for critical workloads.
Primary Responsibilities
- Design and maintain scalable ETL/ELT pipelines and transformations across Snowflake Bronze, Silver, and Gold layers.
- Integrate data from CRM, field activity, marketing, and external sources, and manage changes with application owners and data providers.
- Partner with commercial data owners to translate requirements and definitions into consistent, reusable data models.
- Build automated checks for data completeness, freshness, accuracy, and schema changes, and resolve issues before they reach users.
- Monitor workloads, troubleshoot failures, support reprocessing and backfills, and implement lasting fixes to recurring issues.
- Build reliable data products for analytics, reporting, Streamlit, and AI-enabled use cases while maintaining appropriate access and privacy controls.
- Use strong engineering practices, automation, documentation, and knowledge sharing so critical workloads can be supported across the team.
Qualifications and Key Success Factors
- 7+ years of relevant experience in data engineering, analytics engineering, or related disciplines—or equivalent demonstrated depth—with hands-on experience delivering and supporting production Snowflake workloads.
- Strong SQL and Python skills, including experience building maintainable pipelines, transformations, data-quality checks, and operational automation.
- Strong foundation in analytical or dimensional data modeling, including reusable semantic models and consistent implementation of business definitions across data products.
- Hands-on experience integrating APIs, files, or shared datasets and managing schema changes, incremental processing, reconciliation, reprocessing, and recovery.
- Experience with modern transformation practices and tooling such as dbt or equivalent approaches, supported by automated data-quality and regression testing.
- Strong Git and collaborative development practices, including peer review, controlled environment promotion, production monitoring, and incident resolution.
- Ability to work directly with non-technical stakeholders, ask the questions needed to clarify ambiguous requirements, and validate that delivered data supports the intended business use.
- Bachelor's degree in a relevant technical field or equivalent practical experience.
- The physical and mental requirements of our roles include but are not limited to regular use of a computer, devices or other office equipment, clear communication, and occasional movement. You'll need comfort with screen work, basic hand coordination, and focus. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform these functions.

Data Engineer Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a data engineer in Massachusetts?
Massachusetts does not require a state-issued license or registration to work as a data engineer. Most employers in Massachusetts expect a bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or a closely related field, along with demonstrated proficiency in SQL, Python, and cloud infrastructure. Candidates who build a portfolio of pipeline projects or earn cloud certifications from AWS, Google, or Azure strengthen their position considerably in the Boston and Cambridge markets.
Which companies hire data engineers in Massachusetts?
Employers hiring data engineers in Massachusetts right now include State Street, Amazon, and Plymouth Rock Assurance, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Massachusetts's concentration of life sciences, financial services, and health technology firms means demand is distributed across a wider range of industries than in many other states.
Which Massachusetts cities have the most data engineer jobs?
The cities with the most data engineer openings in Massachusetts are Boston, North Reading, and Quincy. Boston and Cambridge drive the largest share of listings because of the dense cluster of biotech, fintech, and academic medical institutions there, while suburban Route 128 corridor towns attract postings from insurance and enterprise software companies headquartered outside the urban core.
Are there remote data engineer jobs in Massachusetts?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 70% of data engineer openings tied to Massachusetts are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting how much of the work involves writing code, building pipelines, and querying cloud platforms rather than being physically present with hardware or patients. Pipeline development and analytics engineering roles tend to carry the highest rates of fully remote flexibility.
How can I get hired as a data engineer in Massachusetts with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is landing an associate or junior data engineer role at a Massachusetts employer that runs structured new-graduate or rotational programs, such as the large insurance carriers along the Route 128 corridor or health technology companies in the Longwood Medical Area. Moving laterally from a data analyst or business intelligence developer position is another common route, since SQL and reporting skills transfer directly. Building a GitHub portfolio of ETL or pipeline projects and earning an entry-level AWS or Azure cloud certification gives candidates without a traditional background a concrete edge in local screenings.
Where can I find and apply to data engineer jobs in Massachusetts?
You can find and apply to data engineer jobs in Massachusetts on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings tied to the state. Find roles that fit your experience and location and apply directly from the listing.
