  • Implement data quality checks, observability, and alerting to maintain high reliability of data deliveries.
  • Automate operational tasks and continuously improve data delivery processes.
• Collaboration & Best Practices
  • Work cross-functionally with analysts, data scientists, engineers, and business stakeholders to understand data needs and deliver solutions.
  • Document data pipelines, models, lineage, and processes.
  • Contribute to data governance, security, and best practices across the data platform.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional experience in data engineering or a closely related role (analytics engineering experience is highly relevant).
• Strong proficiency in SQL and Python.
• Hands-on experience building and maintaining data pipelines and working with cloud data platforms/warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Databricks, etc.).
• Experience with data orchestration tools (Apache Airflow, Dagster, Prefect, or similar).
• Solid understanding of data modeling techniques and dimensional modeling.
• Experience performing data analysis and working with BI/visualization tools (Looker, Tableau, Power BI, or similar).
• Proven ability to troubleshoot data issues and support operational reliability/SLAs.
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Knowledge of data observability/monitoring tools.
• Experience with real-time/streaming data technologies (Kafka, Flink, etc.).
• Familiarity with CI/CD practices for data pipelines.
• Experience in data quality frameworks and governance.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related quantitative field (or equivalent practical experience).

Compensation

• Base Salary : $160,000 – $175,000 (depending on experience and location)
• Equity : Competitive equity package in a well-funded AI startup with significant upside
