Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Greenlight Rent (formerly Rhino + Jetty) is hiring a Staff Engineer on its data team to build and guide the systems that produce, move, and serve company data. The role sets technical direction across application services, APIs, data platforms, and tools while partnering with product, finance, and operations to deliver reliable software and trustworthy data.
Responsibilities
- Design and build the data foundations of Greenlight Rent: event and data models, ingestion from our application databases and partner integrations (property management systems, payment providers), and the warehouse and transformation layer
- Write production application code too: the services, APIs and jobs that generate and use data, not only what happens downstream of them
- Own measurable outcomes with your product and business partners, and make the scope and sequencing calls that get you there
- Own the reliability and correctness of the data the business depends on, including monthly close, reporting and partner data
- Write high-quality code and set standards for testing, code review, observability and data quality, including when AI-generated code needs a closer look
- Make pragmatic build-vs-buy and tradeoff decisions, and document them clearly
- Mentor engineers through pairing, design reviews and feedback, and lead a few direct reports
- Keep sensitive financial and personal data secure and compliant
Skills
- 8+ years of professional software engineering, including technical leadership at the senior or staff level
- A software engineer first: deep expertise in at least one modern backend language (e.g., Python, Ruby, Go, TypeScript or Java), and a record of building and shipping application systems, not only data pipelines
- Strong data engineering: SQL, data modeling, warehouses (e.g., Snowflake or BigQuery), transformation (e.g., dbt) and orchestration (e.g., Prefect or Airflow)
- Experience designing and scaling APIs, distributed systems and relational databases
- Hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS or GCP) and CI/CD
- Product sense: you care about why something gets built and whether it worked, not just how it's built
- Fluency with AI coding tools, and the judgment to know when their output isn't good enough
- A track record of leading ambiguous, high-impact projects to completion
- Clear written and verbal communication with technical and non-technical partners
- Experience in fintech, insurtech, payments or proptech
- Familiarity with regulated environments (e.g., SOC 2, PCI, consumer-finance rules)
- Experience building 0-to-1 products or data platforms at a startup or growth-stage company
- Experience managing engineers, or a wish to grow into it
Benefits
- Milestone based bonus and other financial perks
- Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage (up to 90% employer contribution) - eligible from your start date
- 401(k)
- HSA
- Life & Disability Insurance Coverage ($0 employee contribution for additional insurances)
- Unlimited PTO Policy
- Generous Paid Parental Leave
- Stock option plan to give our employees a direct stake in Greenlight’s success
- Remote-first work culture with opportunities to collaborate as a team in person
- Monthly lifestyle stipend to fit your needs (meals, wellness, co-working)
