And we're just getting started.

Join us in our mission to break down barriers to communication and free the flow of conversation for people everywhere.

TextNow is looking for an experienced Data Developer with hands-on experience designing and developing data platforms. You will own the design, development, and maintenance of TextNow's data platform, enabling us to make effective data-informed decisions. You will be part of cross-functional efforts to build scalable and reliable frameworks that support allTextNow's business and data products. In this role, you can interact with different functional areas within the business and influence decision-making in a fast-growing mobile communications start-up.  

This role is about impact at scale. You’ll shape how TextNow builds and operates its systems in an AI-first environment where intelligent tooling is embedded into everyday engineering practice. Using AI is not optional, it’s expected. From design and architecture to implementation, testing, debugging, documentation, and operational analysis, you will actively leverage AI tools to increase velocity, improve code quality, and make better technical decisions. We provide a robust suite of AI-powered development tools and workflows to support you, and we expect you to continuously evolve how you use them to raise the bar for efficiency, clarity, and product excellence across the organization.

What You'll Do

Own TextNow's data warehouse, data pipelines, and integration points between various business systems.
Design, develop, and support new and existing batch and real-time data pipelines, and recommend improvements or modifications.
Manage data models to enable AI/ML data products.
Champion TextNow's data ecosystem by working with engineering and infrastructure teams to enable quicker access to data for insights and decision-making.
Communicate data modeling and architecture processes to cross-functional teams.
Identify, design, and implement process improvements across the data platform.

Who You Are

Have 3–5 years of experience working with data warehouse/data lake and ETL architectures(e.g.,databricks, iceberg), cloud data warehouses (e.g., Snowflake), and hands-on experience in Python and SQL — preferably in companies with fast-growing and evolving data needs.
Have at least 2 years of experience with Airflow and Spark.
Have developed scalable, real-time data pipelines using Python/Scala, SQL, and distributed processing frameworks such as Spark or Flink.
Have exposure to the AWS platform and services such as EKS, MSK, and MWAA (preferred).
Have experience building data features using Snowflake, dbt, and Python to power real-time AI/ML inference.
Are respectfully candid, with the ability to initiate and drive tasks to completion.
Are highly organized, dependable, and follow a structured work approach.

The expected base salary range for this role is:

Canada Intermediate: CAD $113,400 - $162,000 annually

Canada Senior: CAD $158,000 – 207,000 annually

Canada Staff: CAD $200,400 – 248,000 annually

Our total rewards package goes beyond base salary. We offer a comprehensive benefits program, an annual performance-based bonus, and equity opportunities that ensure you share in the success you help create.

We know that exceptional talent doesn’t always fit neatly into a range, so if you’re passionate about our mission and think you can make a difference, we encourage you to apply, even if your compensation expectations are outside the listed range. Final compensation will be determined based on a variety of factors, including your skills, experience, and location.

Our goal is to offer a competitive package that reflects the impact and expertise you bring to the team.

This posting is for a current, active vacancy.
