About the Role:

  • We are hiring a Staff Data Engineer to build and own the data platform backbone for governed reporting and trusted AI workflows.
  • You will make strategic architecture calls and then get into the weeds to build, harden, or rebuild pipelines as a hands-on individual contributor.

What You Will Own:

  • Architecture & Strategy: Data platform architecture, freshness strategy, and pragmatic streaming vs. batch decisions.
  • Execution & Reliability: Source ingestion, pipeline reliability, new source onboarding, and legacy migration of brittle reporting paths.
  • Governance & Quality: Snowflake platform operations, data contracts, data quality observability, and AI-enabled automation.

What We Are Looking For:

  • Deep data engineering judgment with hands-on depth in Python, SQL, and production debugging across the stack.
  • Strong ingestion fundamentals, Snowflake fluency, and data quality discipline to make quality visible before users find issues.
  • Independent ownership, communication skills, and active use of AI and LLMs to accelerate engineering work.
