Join our team as a Senior/Staff Data Engineer and play a crucial role in integrating and optimizing our data infrastructure across multiple clouds. You'll have the opportunity to assess our current state, set a strategy for a scalable data platform, and turn data into a strategic asset for our business. This is a remote-friendly position with a focus on flexibility and work-life balance.
- Assess and set the strategy for data infrastructure, mapping data needs across various departments and laying out a plan for a scalable data platform.
- Integrate data from two companies, bringing production data into the existing data lake and owning the architecture for the integration.
- Build clean, tested, well-documented data models that the analytics team can build on, ensuring the data is trustworthy and accessible.
- Typically 6+ years in data engineering, including ownership of platform-level design decisions
- A habit of making your work understandable. You document models, decisions, and strategy so that people outside engineering can use and trust the data
- Sound architectural judgment: you weigh tradeoffs in ingestion, orchestration, and modeling, and can explain clearly why you'd choose one path over another
- Comfort with ambiguity. You've walked into situations without a playbook, figured out what mattered most, and made progress without waiting for perfect information. When you're blocked, you find a way around it
- Working familiarity with the Azure data ecosystem (SQL Server, Data Factory, Synapse, or similar). You don't need to be an Azure specialist, but you shouldn't be starting from zero
- Experience partnering across functions and translating business questions into data requirements, and back again
- Strong Python and SQL
- Experience at a SaaS or software company
- Deep, hands-on production experience with Snowflake and dbt
- Building data that powers customer-facing products, including ML or AI features
- Establishing data governance, SOC 2 controls, or data residency practices
- Fivetran and modern orchestration tools (Airflow, Dagster, or similar)
- Integrating data across clouds or after an acquisition or merger
