ensuring customer events, campaign data, and partner integrations flow cohesively in both directions. /li liPartner with Software Engineering to embed data quality at the source — implementing data contracts, co-owning schema decisions, and driving the rollout of a data catalogue across the organization. /li liEstablish the foundations for real-time data capabilities as the business matures beyond batch processing. /li liDesign systems that prioritize data quality, privacy, and governance standards across all data initiatives. /li liTransition the team's workflow from reactive problem-solving to structured, agile delivery. /li liOversee the maintenance and optimization of high-performance data pipelines, implementing CI/CD automation, observability frameworks, and strict data quality gates. /li liRoll up your sleeves when necessary to assist with complex code reviews, Python/Scala development, or unblocking the team on difficult architectural challenges. /li liAct as a strategic partner to the Analytics Engineering Manager and Data Director to build the backend requirements necessary to achieve our company-wide goal of 80% self-serve analytics. /li /ul h3Must-haves /h3 ul li7+ years of professional experience as a Data/Software Engineer, with at least 2+ years of experience directly managing and scaling data engineering teams. /li liYou thrive in low-maturity or greenfield data environments. You're comfortable navigating ambiguity and enjoy the process of laying down paved roads and engineering standards where none existed before. /li liDeep, hands-on background with major cloud platforms (GCP preferred) and cloud-native data warehouses (BigQuery preferred, or Snowflake/Redshift). /li liStrong experience with orchestration tools (Airflow, Dagster),
ELT pipelines (Fivetran, dbt), and distributed data processing frameworks (Apache Spark, Flink). /li liHands-on experience using AI tools to accelerate engineering workflows — code generation, code review, pipeline debugging, or documentation. /li liStrong coding experience in Python (and/or Scala) and advanced SQL across relational and non-relational databases. /li liExperience implementing CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, and observability/monitoring for data pipelines. /li liBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Statistics, Information Systems, or a related quantitative field. /li /ul h3Nice-to-have /h3 ul liExperience implementing data contracts, data catalogues (Atlan, Amundsen, DataHub), or federated governance models. /li liExperience with Customer Data Platforms (Segment, mParticle, or similar), MarTech data integration, and real-time event processing. /li liExperience in marketplace, B2C, or high-volume transactional businesses. /li liPrevious work in globally distributed data environments (multi-currency, multi-region, multi-language). /li liExperience building or contributing to experimentation platform infrastructure (A/B testing pipelines, feature flag data, experiment analysis frameworks). /li liExposure to Machine Learning infrastructure — not necessarily building models, but scoping teams, tooling, and pipelines that support ML workloads. /li /ul h3Application and eligibility /h3 pIf you are interested in this position, please apply via the link.
