Senior Data Engineer

ABOUT THE ROLE

Join a data infrastructure team building a platform that turns information from multiple sources into reliable, up-to-date company intelligence. You will own the platform end-to-end, from architecture and ingestion through production operations, helping power downstream products with trusted data.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Design and build a multi-source data platform for concurrent ingestion, event-driven processing, and orchestrated batch workflows.

- Develop intake pipelines for provider APIs, webhooks, files, and web scraping, with rate limiting and robust failure handling.

- Orchestrate scheduled workflows and historical backfills using tools such as Airflow, Dagster, or Prefect.

- Build event-driven systems with messaging or task queues, including retries, dead-letter queues, and controlled replay.

- Preserve original payloads in Google Cloud Storage and transform data with dbt into raw, standardized, and curated layers.

- Implement idempotent upserts, data contracts, automated validation, pipeline tests, and monitoring for freshness and failures.

- Design and optimize PostgreSQL schemas and loading patterns, and integrate enrichment providers and LLM-based structured extraction.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- At least 5 years building and operating production data platforms, with ownership spanning architecture, implementation, deployment, and ongoing operations.

- Production experience with GCP and dbt, plus workflow orchestration such as Airflow, Dagster, Prefect, or Temporal, including dependency management, retries, and recovery.

- Strong Python skills, including asynchronous HTTP and concurrent processing with tools such as asyncio, aiohttp, or HTTPX.

- Strong SQL and PostgreSQL skills in data modeling, query optimization, and reliable incremental loading.

- Experience with event-driven systems, queues, data contracts, raw and curated storage, retention policies, automated testing, and pipeline monitoring.

- Experience in a startup or small engineering team is useful. Web scraping, entity resolution, company or people data enrichment, and LLM-based extraction are also relevant.
