About Engine

At Engine, we’re transforming business travel into something personalized, rewarding, and simple. For too long, managing travel and spend has been overwhelming and fragmented — we’re here to change that. We believe the future of travel should be seamless and powered by technology that delights customers at every step. That’s why we’re building a platform that brings together corporate travel, a powerful charge card, and modern spend management in one place.

To make this vision real, we’re looking for exceptional, mission-driven people to help redefine how businesses manage and experience travel.

More than 20,000 companies already rely on Engine to support over 1 million travelers and billions in annual bookings each year. Cash flow positive with rapid growth, we pair exclusive Engine-only rates, industry-leading rewards, and intelligent automation to help businesses save money while delivering world-class personalization and convenience.

Backed by Telescope Partners, Blackstone, and Permira, Engine has been recognized as one of the fastest-growing travel and fintech platforms in North America, with honors including the Deloitte Fast 500 and Built In’s Best Places to Work.

Your Mission:

As a Staff Analytics Engineer, you are the technical authority for Engine’s data ecosystem. You will lead the transition from a monolithic legacy environment to a sophisticated, multi-project Medallion Architecture. This role is designed for a high-level Individual Contributor (IC) who thrives on solving "unsolvable" spaghetti-code problems and establishing the engineering standards that allow our entire data org to move faster, with higher trust.

High-Impact Responsibilities

Architectural Overhaul: Lead the design and execution of a massive migration from 1,200+ legacy dbt models into a modular, three-project Medallion structure (Bronze, Silver, Gold).
Systems Governance: Define the "Engine Standard" for data contracts, naming conventions, and testing frameworks. You aren't just following a process; you are building the process others will follow.
Performance & Scalability: Partner with the Principal Engineer to optimize our Snowflake footprint. You will identify systemic inefficiencies in our DAGs and warehouse usage to drive down costs while increasing query speed.
Technical Mentorship: Act as a force multiplier for the team. You will lead high-level design reviews, provide "Staff-level" feedback on PRs, and elevate the technical bar for our Senior and Mid-level engineers.
Strategic Partnership: Bridge the gap between Engineering and Business. You’ll ensure our infrastructure supports long-term growth (3–5 years out) without compromising the day-to-day execution speed of our analysts.

What You’ll Bring to Engine

Expert-Level dbt Mastery: You don't just "use" dbt; you understand dbt Mesh, cross-project dependencies, and how to refactor massive projects without breaking downstream BI tools like Looker.
Legacy Refactoring Experience: 8+ years of industry experience with a proven track record of migrating large-scale, "messy" data environments into clean, governed architectures.
