[Hiring] Senior Data Engineer / Data Platform Lead @Dr. Berg Nutritionals

Role Description

Dr. Berg Nutritionals is doing over nine-figures across Amazon, Shopify, Walmart, and TikTok Shop, building on top of a YouTube channel with 15M subscribers and 111M weekly views. We are building a unified data platform that powers executive reporting, internal operations, customer-facing AI products, and the experimentation layer that comes after that. You are the foundational hire who makes that platform real. Not a contributor on a data team, but the senior owner of the platform itself, reporting directly to the CIO.

This role is unusual because:

• You will be the senior data authority.
• There is no Head of Data above you, and we are not promising one.
• You report to the CIO, set technical direction, and are accountable for the platform's trustworthiness.
• Your tables feed real decisions, today.
• The scope is broader than analytics.
• You're building the trusted data foundation for everything the engineering department ships.

If you've ever wanted the autonomy of a founding data engineer without giving up the salary or the scale of a real business — this is that role.

What You'll Do

In your first 90 days you'll:

• Audit every existing data source (what's flowing, what's broken, what's missing).
• Replace our manual CSV-based Klaviyo ingestion with a direct API pipeline.
• Stand up production pipelines for Amazon SP-API, Shopify, and NetSuite with proper monitoring.
• Establish our infrastructure-as-code practice and CI/CD pipeline.
• Define the target architecture: ingestion patterns, orchestration standards, environment separation, data-quality gates, deployment workflow.

After that, you own:

• Ingestion: Amazon SP-API, Shopify Admin API, NetSuite SuiteAnalytics Connect, Klaviyo, Recharge, YouTube, GA4 (BigQuery export), Google Search Console, Google Ads, Meta Ads, Triple Whale, plus ~15 more.
• Orchestration: Decide what runs when based on finance needs and API quotas.
• Reliability: Health checks, schema validation, freshness SLAs, source reconciliation, data-quality gates.
• Cost and performance: Partitioning, query tuning, and incremental processing to save costs.
• Data contracts: Ensure pipelines stop and alert when a source violates its contract.

Qualifications

• 8–12+ years in data engineering, with at least 4 years primarily in Azure (Data Factory, Synapse, Fabric, Functions, ADLS, Azure Monitor, or comparable).
• Demonstrated ownership of a production data platform, not just a contributor.
• Strong SQL experience — query tuning, execution plans, indexing strategy, incremental models, data-quality validation.
• Production-level C# and/or Python experience for custom connector work.
• Solid experience with messy commerce/ERP APIs — ideally Amazon SP-API, NetSuite, or similar.
• IaC and CI/CD discipline — Bicep, Terraform, or ARM, with dev/staging/prod separation, peer review, rollback thinking.
• Demonstrated on-call experience — owned production incidents and written runbooks.
• Experience partnering with a technical executive without layers of management.

Requirements

• This role is probably not for you if you want a Head of Data above you to set direction.
• Your experience is mostly clean SaaS APIs and you've never wrestled a real ERP.
• You prefer being one of several data engineers on a mature team.
• You want to build the AI itself; this role is the foundation it stands on.

Work from Home Requirements

• Up-to-date Mac or Windows computer with anti-virus protection and a reliable high-speed internet connection.
• Quiet, distraction-free workspace.

Compensation & Benefits

• Pay Range: $185,000–$225,000 base, plus performance bonus.
• Comprehensive health, dental, vision.
• Generous PTO. Fully remote within the continental US.
• Direct access to the CEO, CIO, Finance Director, and COO.
• Budget for training, conferences, and tools.
• Meaningful product discount on Dr. Berg Nutritionals products.

Must be available during business hours, Monday – Friday, 9am – 6pm EST.
