Member of Technical Staff, Data Engineering

We are looking for Member of Technical Staff, Data Engineering candidates for a project delivered through the hiring partner.

What you'll do

  • Build our data platform from zero: Architect and implement our internal data warehouse, ingestion infrastructure, ETL/ELT pipelines, and core data models.
  • Create agent-ready data foundations: Design reliable, well-documented datasets and interfaces that AI agents can safely discover, query, and use.
  • Turn messy data into trusted systems: Transform fragmented operational and product data into consistent, high-quality sources of truth.
  • Enable self-service analytics: Build the infrastructure that allows engineering, product, and business teams to answer questions independently without relying on manual data requests.
  • Own product analytics infrastructure: Establish the event tracking, instrumentation, data models, and reporting foundations needed to understand product usage and performance.
  • Automate data operations: Leverage AI coding agents and intelligent automation to accelerate pipeline development, data validation, documentation, monitoring, and troubleshooting.
  • Build for reliability and scale: Establish data quality standards, observability, governance, and scalable architectural patterns from the beginning.
  • Raise the engineering bar: Mentor engineers, establish strong data engineering practices, and lead architectural decisions through hands-on execution.

What you need

  • Staff-level engineering expertise with extensive hands-on experience building and operating production data platforms.
  • Proven greenfield experience: You've personally led the design and implementation of a data platform from scratch, rather than exclusively maintaining or extending existing infrastructure.
  • Deep understanding of data warehouses, ETL/ELT architectures, data modeling, orchestration, and distributed data processing.
  • Strong proficiency in SQL and Python, with the software engineering fundamentals needed to build reliable data infrastructure.
  • Experience with modern data technologies such as Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Databricks, dbt, Airflow, Dagster, or equivalent tools.
  • Strong understanding of data quality, lineage, observability, access controls, and production data reliability.
  • Experience designing analytics infrastructure that supports product insights and operational decision-making.
  • AI-native engineering habits: You already use AI coding agents as part of your daily workflow and actively automate repetitive development and data engineering tasks.
  • Ability to make pragmatic architectural decisions, balancing scalability, simplicity, performance, and engineering velocity.
  • Demonstrated technical leadership, including mentoring engineers and establishing engineering standards.

Nice to have

  • You've been the founding or early Data Engineer responsible for building a company's first real data platform.
  • You've designed data systems that support both traditional analytics and AI-powered applications or autonomous agents.
  • You have experience building semantic layers, data discovery systems, or structured interfaces that make enterprise data accessible to AI.
  • You've automated substantial portions of data pipeline development, validation, or maintenance using AI agents.
  • You know how to avoid overengineering while building foundations that won't need to be replaced six months later.
  • You're comfortable moving between data architecture, production pipelines, analytical modeling, and hands-on debugging.
