  • Address the evolving needs of active data products

What We're Looking For

  • 10+ years of combined experience in Data Engineering, Data Platform Engineering, Data Science, or Data Analyst roles
  • Deep expertise in both Data Engineering and Data Platform Engineering disciplines
  • Hands-on experience with data tooling in GCP, AWS, or Azure, including technologies like Pub/Sub, BigQuery, Dataflow (Apache Beam), or equivalents
  • Experience with Looker, Fivetran, Kubernetes/GKE, Airflow/Cloud Composer, Terraform, or similar technologies
  • Advanced coding skills in SQL and Python
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals: modularity, abstraction, data structures, and algorithms
