**What We Are Looking For**
We’re looking for a Data Engineer who thrives in building robust, scalable data systems that power machine learning, analytics, and product intelligence. You’ll help design the data backbone that enables our business to grow and our AI to learn, reason, and create.


As a Data Engineer, you’ll play a critical role in designing, building, and optimizing data pipelines that fuel our AI models and insights. You’ll work closely with machine learning engineers, backend developers, and product teams to ensure our data infrastructure is reliable, secure, and high-performing.


You’ll work across the entire data lifecycle — from ingestion and transformation to orchestration and monitoring — to support our fast-evolving AI systems.


**Responsibilities**

* Design, build, and maintain scalable data pipelines for training and deploying AI models.
* Develop efficient ETL / ELT workflows using modern data tools (e.g., Airflow, dbt, Dagster).
* Manage structured and unstructured data sources — from product telemetry to code datasets.
* Work closely with product and business teams to ensure that our data supports the insights they need.
* Work closely with ML engineers to deliver clean, high-quality datasets for model training.
* Implement best practices for data governance, lineage, and quality control.
* Collaborate with infrastructure and DevOps to ensure data reliability and performance at scale.
* Optimize data storage and compute costs across cloud environments (AWS / GCP / Azure).
* Contribute to internal data tooling and automation that make our data stack faster and smarter.

**Qualifications**

* 3–6+ years of experience as a Data Engineer or similar role in data infrastructure.
* Strong experience with Python, SQL, and data pipeline orchestration tools.
* Deep understanding of data modeling, warehousing, and distributed systems.
* Hands-on experience with modern data stacks (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Spark, Databricks).
* Familiarity with ML pipelines and model data requirements (preferred).
* Experience with cloud platforms (AWS / GCP / Azure) and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation).
* Strong analytical mindset, bias for automation, and ownership of data reliability.

Our cash compensation range for this role is $190- $210,000+.
