Responsibilities
- Build and maintain data models in SQLMesh, including incremental strategies, testing, and documentation
- Continuously improve and evolve our orchestration and transformation infrastructure as the platform scales
- Modernize legacy pipeline jobs in Python and SQLMesh, reducing technical debt over time
- Participate in on-call rotation; triage and resolve incidents including ETL failures, data unavailability, and core metric breakage
- Build introspectable software: define alert thresholds, emit metrics and logs, produce dashboards, and establish closed-loop escalation paths
- Improve observability across the platform so failures are caught early and resolved quickly
- Extend and maintain pipelines powering creator payouts and GAAP-compliant revenue reporting across Splice's product lines
- Build pipeline support for new revenue streams as Splice launches them
- Improve query performance and reduce compute costs in BigQuery
- Contribute to ingestion platform work and product analytics infrastructure

- Proficiency in SQL — window functions, CTEs, query optimization, execution plan analysis
- Proficiency in Python for pipeline logic, data transformation, and testing (maintainable code, not just scripts)
- Experience with a modern transformation framework — SQLMesh, dbt, or equivalent — including incremental models, testing, and documentation
- Production experience with a cloud data warehouse (we use BigQuery); understands partitioning, clustering, and cost management
- Experience with at least one workflow orchestrator (Dagster, Airflow, Prefect, or equivalent)
