Senior Data Platform Engineer
Build the Data Platform That Powers What's Next.
We're seeking a seasoned Senior Data Platform Engineer to design and operate the pipelines, services, and data products that the rest of the company builds on.
In this role, you'll own the flow of data end to end -- ingesting and transforming it through ETL/ELT and dbt, orchestrating reliable batch and streaming workflows, and exposing it through the APIs and microservices that product teams depend on, including the next generation of features powered by large language models (LLMs) and machine learning.
Beyond hands-on engineering, you'll shape technical direction, mentor teammates, and help drive standardization across the department.
If you're energized by building dependable data systems and excited to apply LLMs and ML to real product problems, we'd love to have you on the team.
