About the role

You'll join a cross-functional R&D team focused on the availability, quality, and usability of AI and Analytics data for our customers. In this Senior-level role, you'll lead complex software and data engineering projects across multi-component systems, from shaping requirements to design, implementation, and long-term operation. You'll be a go-to expert for AI and analytics data, collaborating with product managers, AI, analytics, and other engineering teams to ensure our data is accurate, observable, and ready to drive insights and enable AI/ML products at scale. You'll also help evolve our technical standards for data engineering, raising the bar on data modeling, performance, and reliability, while mentoring other engineers on best practices and modern data tooling.

Requirements

6+ years of software engineering with at least 4 or those being data engineering experience, with a strong track record building and operating data pipelines and analytics models in production.

Deep proficiency in large-scale SQL and data modeling for analytics.

Strong programming skills in a modern language commonly used for data engineering (e.g. Python), and familiarity with orchestration and transformation tooling (e.g., Airflow, EMR, Spark/pyspark, or equivalents).

Experience working with modern data platforms (e.g., columnar data warehouses, object storage) and processing frameworks (batch and/or streaming).

Demonstrated ability to lead complex projects spanning multiple components and engineers-driving clarity, making tradeoffs, and delivering measurable impact on reliability, performance, or business outcomes.

Comfortable owning systems in production: you think about observability, incident response, incremental rollouts, and long-term maintainability as part of the design.

Excellent communication skills; you can explain data tradeoffs and constraints to non-technical partners and influence decisions with clear reasoning.

You've already experimented with AI in work or personal projects, and you're excited to dive in and learn fast. You're hungry to responsibly explore new AI tools and workflows, finding ways to make your work smarter and more efficient.

Inclusive, low-ego collaborator who values diverse perspectives and is motivated by helping the team succeed, not just shipping your own code.

Experience in a product-led SaaS environment with large-scale event data

Experience in a customer facing data engineering role supports AI/ML features and Analytics Dashboards.

Hands-on work with analytics engineering tools and practices (e.g., dbt, metrics layers, semantic models).

Experience building near real-time or streaming pipelines for user-facing analytics or monitoring.

Domain experience in martech, marketing automation, or customer engagement platforms.
