Data Engineer

You’ll design, implement, scale, and maintain the code that powers our production environment. With real freedom to innovate, you’ll shape the next generation of our data and backend platform—connecting APIs, pipelines, self-managed and cloud infrastructure to deliver fast, reliable, high-impact systems.

A highly technical mindset and a drive to improve daily are essential.

Design and build Python APIs and backend services that power internal and third-party integrations

Develop and operate end-to-end data pipelines, from ingestion to persistence across GCP services

Build high-frequency, event-driven systems for real-time and asynchronous data processing

Apply strong data modeling and database design principles for structured and semi-structured data

Write clean, testable, production-grade code with strong coverage and CI/CD discipline

Drive observability, performance, and reliability across backend and data systems

Own services end-to-end — from schema and API design to deployment and monitoring

Use modern cloud and automation practices (IaC tools like Terraform, containers, orchestration)

What You’ll Bring 💡

Strong experience in backend or data engineering

Strong skills in Python and SQL

Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS or GCP) and data warehouse design (using BigQuery or Snowflake)

Solid engineering discipline — CI/CD, testing, microservices, and end-to-end ownership

Understanding of data modeling, schema design, and performance optimization

Familiarity with orchestration tools (Airflow, Dagster) and observability practices

Nice to Have

Experience with API integrations (CRM, attribution, or marketing systems)

Exposure to containerization (Docker, Kubernetes)

Knowledge of data testing frameworks or event-driven architectures
