About the Role

Senior Data Engineer  

We’re looking for a Senior Data Engineer to help scale and evolve our data platform, which is in its early stages. You’ll play a key role in shaping the architecture, improving reliability, and building the systems that power data across the company. This is a high-impact opportunity to bring structure and scalability to an existing foundation—ideal for someone who enjoys improving systems, making architectural decisions, and driving best practices.

You’ll partner closely with engineering, product, and business teams to design and implement scalable systems for data ingestion, storage, processing, and analytics. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys high ownership, thrives in ambiguity, and wants to have a lasting impact on foundational infrastructure.
