We are seeking a seasoned Senior Data Engineer to drive scale, performance, and actionability within our data ecosystem. You will strengthen and scale our Python and Snowflake-based infrastructure, building the core capabilities required to support dynamic analytics and our transition toward more automated, self-service data workflows.
We need an engineer who can adapt to a dynamic product environment, who can ask the ‘why’ behind the ‘what’ to ensure we are building the right solutions.
Key Responsibilities
- Data Enablement: Support the analytics layer by developing core Looker views and building out our agentic AI infrastructure to derive automated self-service capabilities and reduce reporting bottlenecks.
- Pipeline Architecture: Design, build, and scale ELT pipelines that are resilient, efficient, and modular.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Finance, Product, and Analytics to ensure our data models solve the right problems.
- Data Modeling: Build and maintain analytics schemas (including Star Schemas) that abstract complex logic into user-friendly datasets.
- End-to-End Ownership: Lead projects from inception to production, taking accountability for data integrity and the trustworthiness of the platform.
- Operational Excellence: Monitor production health using monitoring tools (e.g. Datadog, Monte Carlo) ensuring our data ecosystem remains robust and reliable.
- Technical Leadership: Act as a technical lead, conduct code reviews, define engineering culture, and champion best practices.
Requirements
- Experience: 5+ years in data engineering, with at least 2+ years focused on distributed, large-scale cloud data warehouses.
- Snowflake Expertise: Proven experience with Snowflake performance optimization and cost-governance. Familiarity with Snowflake Cortex/MCP is a plus.
- Technical Mastery:
- Advanced Software Engineering (Python): Deep proficiency in Python, with a focus on writing modular, reusable, and testable code (unit/integration tests) for complex data processing.
- Data Modeling & SQL Mastery: Expert-level SQL and a sophisticated understanding of data warehousing methodologies to build performant, scalable analytics layers.
- Infrastructure & Automation: Practical experience with modern CI/CD frameworks (e.g., GitHub Actions, Argo CD) to drive engineering velocity and platform stability.
- Workflow Orchestration: Expertise in architecting and scaling orchestration-as-code workflows (e.g., Prefect or Airflow) to manage complex dependencies and ensure pipeline resilience.
- Observability & Reliability: Deep proficiency in deploying monitoring and alerting frameworks (e.g., Datadog) to maximize system uptime while mitigating alert fatigue.
- Operational Maturity: Experience managing business-critical production pipelines with a focus on uptime, data quality, and defining SLAs.
- Education: BS/MS in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related technical field.
Base salary may vary depending on, but not limited to: skills, experience, and location. This role is also eligible for a comprehensive benefits package and annual bonus program.
