The Senior Data Engineer will build scalable data infrastructure, agentic systems, ML pipelines, and monitoring capabilities while partnering with analytics, product, analyst, and ML teams.
Responsibilities
- Build and scale data pipelines for ingestion into Snowflake — with a focus on reliability and performance across a $750M+ e-commerce business
- Design and ship the agentic systems that perform data engineering work — pipeline generation, testing, and maintenance as automated systems, not one-off builds
- Develop and maintain ML pipelines that help data scientists operationalize models and integrate them with our data infrastructure
- Implement and improve data monitoring across complex, multi-system user journeys
- Collaborate with Analytics Engineers on data modeling and the reliability of shared data assets
- Partner with product, analyst, and ML teams to deliver end-to-end data solutions — from ingestion to advanced analytics and AI
Skills
- Experienced building production AI/LLM systems — RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, tool integrations (e.g., MCP servers) that real users depend on, not just prototypes
- Platform-minded — you see repetitive data engineering work as a system design problem and build the scaffolding to automate it
- Deeply fluent in Python and production-grade data engineering, with 7+ years building systems that hold up at scale
- Proficient with Airflow and dbt — you understand data modeling and ETL principles, not just the tooling
- Comfortable in AWS — you've provisioned and managed cloud data resources across EC2, S3, Lambda, and EKS
- Familiar with Snowflake or comparable modern cloud data warehouses
- Able to work cross-functionally with analysts and data scientists — translating their needs into infrastructure that actually serves them
- You naturally reach for AI in your work — at Babylist, every team uses AI daily. You're already using it to move faster and improve your output, and you stay curious about what's coming next
- **You're genuinely excited about what AI can do -**not just as a concept, but as something you want to get your hands on. At Babylist, every team uses AI daily, and we're looking for people who lean in
