Overview
TLDR: We’re looking for a Data Engineer who can design and build our data pipelines from scratch – handling petabytes of logs, events, and model traces – and create a clean, reliable environment for production, testing, and research workloads.
What you’ll do
Own and evolve our internal data tooling.
Scrape external sources, turn raw chaos into structured datasets, and keep them fresh and reliable.
Build and maintain pipelines to transform and version data, ensuring quality through testing and monitoring.
Create new data products that directly address business needs.
Diagnose and fix pipeline issues before they become someone else’s problem.
Ship analytics and dashboards that people actually use.
Jump into data and infra tasks where needed and make things more robust.
What we’re looking for
You’re strong in Python and SQL and comfortable working with messy, real-world data.
You have solid experience with web scraping and know how to make pipelines reliable, monitored, and resilient.
You’ve worked with PostgreSQL (or similar) and understand how to structure and query data efficiently.
You’ve worked with a cloud data warehouse (ClickHouse, BigQuery, Redshift, Snowflake, etc.).
You’re a builder: you fix things, improve systems, and don’t wait for perfect specs.
You communicate clearly and can work in English.
Nice to have / Big plus
Experience with Metabase or similar BI tools.
Experience versioning datasets and building lightweight data pipelines.
Experience with dbt for data modeling / analytics engineering.
Familiarity with ETL tools (Fivetran, Airbyte, dltHub, etc.).
Experience with AWS (Athena, Glue, S3, etc.).
Experience with AI-assisted or agentic coding.
