[Hiring] Data Engineer @UJET

Role Description

UJET is looking for a Data Engineer to join our growing Data Platform team. You'll own our data systems end to end:

• CDC replication out of production MySQL
• The pipelines and jobs that shape data in BigQuery
• The Terraform-managed infrastructure underneath
• The Looker models on top

dbt is central to how we work. You'll build models yourself and set the patterns that let analysts, product partners, and engineers ship their own safely. You should be comfortable debugging a replication issue in the morning and tuning a Looker explore in the afternoon.

This data powers reporting for thousands of customer tenants, including embedded Looker analytics for enterprise customers, and the internal metrics our Operations and Finance teams run the business on. Over the coming year, our focus is data trust and reliability, platform modernization, and treating data as a product. You'll help shape all three.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, with deep data platform experience
• Strong programming skills in Python
• Strong SQL skills and experience with analytical data modeling
• Hands-on experience with BigQuery (or a similar cloud data warehouse)
• Production experience with dbt (dbt Labs), including building models yourself
• Experience building or improving the infrastructure around data workflows (reliability, observability, CI/CD, permissions, environments, deployment patterns)
• Experience with infrastructure as code, preferably Terraform
• Experience with a major cloud platform (GCP preferred)
• Strong software engineering fundamentals (testing, version control, code reviews)

Requirements

• Experience with GCP services (Datastream, Cloud Storage, Cloud Run, and Pub/Sub)
• Change data capture experience (GCP Datastream or MySQL binlog/GTID replication)
• Experience with Kubernetes-based orchestration (Argo Workflows or similar)
• Experience with Looker (LookML, semantic modeling, dashboards)
• Familiarity with Ruby on Rails or Go, which power the application-layer services our data platform depends on
• Experience collaborating with Product to gather requirements and translate business needs into data solutions

Benefits

• Medical, dental, vision, 401(k) plan, wellness benefits, and more

Compensation

Annual US Hiring Range: $140,000 – $160,000*
