Practice Better
Ready to make a real impact on global health and wellness care?
Practice Better is an all-in-one platform helping health and wellness practitioners run their businesses, care for their clients, and scale their impact. Founded by practitioners in 2016, we’re now the leading EHR and practice management platform in the wellness industry, trusted by tens of thousands of practitioners across 70+ countries.
In 2023, we expanded our whole-practice care offering through the acquisition of That Clean Life, bringing nutrition planning into our platform.
We’re a remote-first team headquartered in Toronto, made up of curious, driven, and empathetic people building tools that help practitioners create sustainable, independent practices; and do the most meaningful work of their careers. While most of our work happens remotely, we come together regularly for off-sites and team events to stay connected and build together.

Position Summary
Practice Better runs a modern data stack (Snowflake, dbt, Stitch, Hightouch) and an internal AI warehouse agent that powers how our go-to-market teams access and act on data. The infrastructure is solid, and we are looking for a Data Engineer who takes full ownership of it.
This is a sole-contributor role on a small, high-output team and because the business moves fast, there's meaningful engineering work queued up from day one for someone who's ready to hit the ground running.
You’ll own the full stack: pipelines, data models, integrations with production systems, and the data layer that underpins our AI-assisted analytics. You’ll partner closely with the Head of RevOps, the broader data/analytics team, and stakeholders across the GTM motion. And you’ll bring a genuine, pragmatic excitement about what AI makes possible, not in theory, but in production.
Note: Practice Better is a remote-first company with team members across North America. However, this particular role is currently open to Canadian-based candidates only, and preference will be given to applicants legally authorized to work in Canada.
What You’ll Be Doing
Own the Full Data Stack
- Own and evolve the full data infrastructure: Snowflake, dbt, Stitch, Rivery, and pipeline orchestration
- Build and maintain ELT/ETL pipelines and dbt models supporting analytics, reporting, and the AI warehouse agent
- Manage Snowflake for performance, cost, and reliability
- Build and maintain integrations between production systems — Stripe, Square, HubSpot, and others — and the data warehouse
Ensure Data Quality & Reliability
- Implement data quality monitoring, testing frameworks, and alerting so problems surface before they reach stakeholders
- Trace anomalies to root causes and ensure leadership is making decisions on reliable data
- Establish and maintain data governance standards: documentation, access controls, and metric definitions
- Partner with Product and Engineering to instrument event tracking and ensure complete data capture across the customer journey
Advance AI-Assisted Data Workflows
- Design and evolve AI-assisted data workflows, including our internal warehouse agent, ensuring they’re powered by clean, well-modeled, trustworthy data
- Bring strong intuition for AI failure modes and how to constrain systems for reliability
- Enable stakeholders to self-serve through AI-assisted tooling; your work is what makes that possible
Partner Across the Business
- Partner with the Head of RevOps on data model integrity, executive reporting, and prioritizing what gets built or fixed first
- Work closely with the analytics team to understand how data is consumed across Sigma, Amplitude, Hightouch, and the AI warehouse agent, so infrastructure decisions account for downstream impact
- Partner with GTM stakeholders across Growth, Customer Success, Marketing, and Payments to understand data dependencies, surface issues early, and translate business needs into technical requirements
What You Bring
- 5+ years as a data engineer, analytics engineer, or backend engineer with a data focus
- Experience as the primary or sole data engineer on a small, high-growth team (you’ve owned a full stack end-to-end, not just a slice of one)
- Strong SQL and hands-on experience with dbt, Snowflake, Stitch, and Rivery
- Python proficiency for pipeline development and automation
- Experience building and optimizing ELT/ETL pipelines at scale, with strong understanding of data warehouse architecture and dimensional modeling
- A pragmatic approach to AI — focused on outcomes, not demos. You’ve built or worked with AI-assisted data workflows in production, understand their failure modes, and know how to constrain them for reliability
- Comfort working with large, imperfect datasets. You diagnose data quality issues independently and don’t wait for someone to hand you a spec
- Experience with version control (Git), CI/CD practices, and infrastructure as code
- Clear, proactive written communication. You document your work so the next person isn’t starting from scratch
