Who you are
9+ years of experience as a data engineer in a modern, production-grade cloud data platform
Meaningful exposure across several of the platform's key domains: IaC infrastructure (Terraform/Atmos), CDC streaming (Kafka, Flink, Debezium), Databricks operations, data governance, batch and streaming pipelines, developer experience
Track record of cross-team impact: changing how multiple teams build, decide, or deliver
Strong Python and dbt skills
Demonstrated ability to frame ambiguous technical problems and drive them to resolution with minimal guidance
Experience navigating organizational complexity and aligning stakeholders
Experience making architectural decisions with long-term, multi-year consequences
Strong technical judgment balanced with pragmatism: knows when to advocate for the right solution and when to move forward
Knowledge of compliance and regulatory frameworks (ex: GDPR, CCPA, SOC2, FedRAMP) and how to translate them into platform controls
Experience designing golden paths and self-service tooling for engineering teams
What the job involves
We are seeking a Staff Data Engineer to join our growing team.
Our data platform spans a wide surface area: infrastructure, CDC streaming, Databricks operations and runtime, data pipelines, developer experience, and data governance.
We are looking for someone who can exercise meaningful technical leadership across all of it. You will not just deliver solutions; you will frame complex, ambiguous problems, define standards and architectural direction, and ensure teams can make better decisions and deliver more effectively for our stakeholders through your influence and judgment
Shape the technical direction and architecture of the data platform across its full surface area: infrastructure, Databricks, streaming, data products, and governance
Proactively identify and drive resolution of cross-cutting technical challenges before they become delivery blockers, working across multiple data engineering teams and both internal and customer-facing projects
Define and evolve platform-wide standards, patterns, and abstractions adopted across teams
Influence roadmap priorities by framing trade-offs, surfacing opportunities, and driving alignment across engineering, product, and analytics
Drive adoption of changes across teams, not just their delivery
Mentor and elevate senior engineers through complex problems and architectural decisions
Navigate ambiguity and lead complex, multi-squad initiatives with minimal direction
Benefits
Flexible time off
Competitive salary and equity opportunities
Training and development investments
Comprehensive healthcare coverage
