Intermediate Data Developer

We are looking for an Intermediate Developer for an 8 month contract, working 3 days a week in office in Calgary and 2 days a week from home. A successful candidate will be responsible for modernizing a critical market data platform used across trading, settlements, billing, compliance, analytics, and reporting. This is a re-implementation (not lift-and-shift) to replace a legacy ingestion platform and remove dependency on Denodo (data virtualization nearing end of support). You’ll build and stabilize new ingestion pipelines for external market data feeds (e.g., ISO/AESO), implement transformation/normalization logic using C#/.NET and/or Python, persist and optimize data in SQL Server/Azure SQL, and help rewrite virtualization-layer assets into SQL views, stored procedures, and/or materialized datasets—ensuring downstream consumers (Excel, Power BI, and operational teams) experience minimal disruption. You’ll also contribute to time-boxed POC/MVP efforts to validate performance, reliability, and maintainability, producing clean, well-documented, DevOps-aligned solutions.

We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances.
