Data Engineer

• Designing and maintaining scalable, multi-tenant data pipelines
• Ensuring data quality, reliability, and governance
• Collaborating with Product, Engineering, and Data Science teams

• Languages & Frameworks: Python is our core for pipelines, APIs, and CLI tooling. We use FastAPI and Pydantic to serve typed, high-performance REST APIs to our platform.
• Data Transformation & Modeling: We use dbt for our SQL-based transformation layer and SQLModel with Alembic for ORM-based schema management and versioned migrations.
• Storage & Analytics: We utilize DuckDB and DuckLake as our embedded analytics engine, all hosted on a robust AWS infrastructure (S3, IAM).
• Orchestration & Workflow: Apache Airflow handles our complex event-driven and scheduled job flows.
• Quality & Engineering Excellence: We prioritize reliability through pytest for QA validations, GitHub for version control, and a rigorous PR-based code review process.

Core responsibilities

• End-to-End Architecture & Business Ownership: Lead the design, implementation, and long-term ownership of complex, multi-tenant data platforms with minimal strategic guidance, deeply aligning technical solutions with business domains and use cases.

• Core Development & Tooling: Build robust data components, utilizing advanced Python for APIs/orchestration and expert SQL for dbt-based transformation and normalization layers.

• Data Quality & Engineering Standards: Establish and enforce global data engineering standards, implementing shift-left data quality frameworks, validation, and proactive alerting at scale.

• Infrastructure Optimization: Drive continuous improvements in data infrastructure, modeling, and tooling to optimize performance, control costs, and reduce operational burden.

• Mentorship & Craft Excellence: Champion engineering excellence across the chapter, mentoring junior team members and defining best practices for tooling and data craft.

Who we’re looking for

• Data Engineers / Data Analysts with 4 to 6 years of experience who excel at building reliable, scalable data models and pipelines that power AI decision-making at enterprise scale.

• Hands-on builders with:

  • Expert SQL skills (architecting advanced incremental patterns, complex modeling, and query optimization)

  • Advanced Python for services/pipelines (not notebook-only analytics)

  • Deep familiarity with production-grade engineering practices, including rigorous CI/CD pipelines, test-driven development (pytest), and leading technical code reviews.

  • A strong business-domain mindset—the ability to act as a translator between complex business data needs and highly efficient data architectures.

• Strong collaborators who partner with Data Practitioners, Data Scientists, Software/ML Engineers, Product teams, and business stakeholders to turn raw data into actionable customer insights.

• Startup mindset: thrives in ambiguity, proactively solves complex data challenges, and improves tooling beyond your immediate scope.
