Data Engineer

Responsibilities

Design and build the transformation layer

• Build the transformations that turn internal models into clean analytical tables
• Make deliberate modeling choices: conformed dimensions, sensible grain, stable and human-readable naming, documented semantics, consistent handling of dates, statuses, and soft deletes
• Build for correctness under our security model, preserving authorization scoping and permissions logic
• Establish monitoring and alerting for data freshness and quality

Anticipate analytical needs

• Design reporting architecture in tandem with the core product lifecycle, ensuring the data model makes sense
• Support patterns including time series, cohorts, aging and time-in-status, compliance windows, and point-in-time snapshots
• Build the reusable pieces that can be composed to meet future needs

Own reporting for a module, end-to-end

• Make sure the BI data model can express the module’s complex requirements
• Build stock and customer-specific reports, and enable the customer launch team to support customers
• Intake new agency reporting requirements and align them with solutions in line with our data strategy
• Scoped embedded analytics.
• Validate that attribution in the data is reliable, build the scoped report, and pressure-test it so one organization can never see another's data.
• Upsertable importers.
• Build idempotent, upsert-capable importers so we can ingest customer data on a recurring basis rather than as one-time loads.
• Data mapping tooling.
• Improve the tools, documentation, and repeatable process for mapping a customer's legacy data model into ours. This is high leverage across every implementation we do.
• Statewide reporting foundation.
• Build the analytics substrate that large statewide deployments require, including federal reporting obligations and agency-wide dashboards.

Preferred

• government or gov-tech data experience; familiarity with child welfare data standards and federal reporting (AFCARS, NYTD, CCWIS)

Binti is headquartered in San Francisco, California. Much of our team is local to the San Francisco Bay Area and works via a hybrid setup with Monday & Thursday in office. Our Satellite office in Seattle, Washington, sets their own in-office days and hybrid policies, but in general employees are encouraged to join the leadership team on the days when they will be in the office for collaboration and team cohesion.
