Data Engineer

• Maintaining and improving the orchestration layer: Dagster assets, jobs, schedules, sensors, and the dependency graph that ties extraction loading transformation together.
• Adding new data sources to the pipeline; extracting from APIs (GraphQL, REST), Google Drive folders, and CSV/JSONL drops on S3, then landing them in our bronze schemas via Dagster assets.
• Building silver and gold dbt models that transform raw source data into our unified entity model following the medallion architecture.
• Extending our semantic layer so business metrics are available to downstream consumers (BI tool dashboards, AI agents, ad-hoc analysis) without re-deriving logic
• Operating the platform on AWS: ECS Fargate services, RDS, S3, Secrets Manager, CloudFormation templates, and the CodePipeline-based CI/CD that deploys our data platform. All of our data platforms are deployed with IaC tools.
• Writing tests (pytest for Python, dbt tests for models, data quality tests) and contributing to internal documentation as new patterns emerge.

Do you have experience in Technical writing within technology?, * 4-7 years of professional experience building and operating data pipelines in production

• From conversation to shipped data product: you're comfortable owning a request end-to-end: scoping it with a non-technical stakeholder, writing requirements clear enough that you (and others) can build against them, implementing the models or metrics, and verifying with the stakeholder that what shipped solves their problem.
• Strong Python: comfortable writing modules, structuring code for reuse and testability, and debugging issues across an async or orchestrated pipeline.
• Solid SQL skills, including window functions, CTEs (including recursive ones), and the ability to reason about query performance.
• Hands-on experience with dbt: building models, writing tests, and understanding materializations.
• Working knowledge of an orchestration framework: (Dagster, Airflow, Prefect, or similar), including the mental model of assets/tasks, dependencies, and scheduling.
• Comfort with AWS fundamentals: S3, IAM, Secrets Manager, and either ECS or Lambda for compute.
• Git-based workflows: code review, and writing PRs that are reviewable., * Experience with Dagster specifically.
• Experience with semantic layer tools (Cube.js, dbt Semantic Layer/MetricFlow, LookML)
• Healthcare data experience (HIPAA, EHR systems, ICD-10/CPT codes)
• CloudFormation, Terraform, or another IaC tool
• Experience with GraphQL APIs as a consumer (pagination, introspection, dealing with rate limits and retries)
• Familiarity with identity resolution patterns or slowly-changing dimension modeling

• Paid time off
• Vision insurance
• Dental insurance, * Small, focused team; your work ships and gets used quickly
• Pragmatic engineering: we favor readable code, clear naming conventions, and well-documented patterns over clever abstractions. Our internal "how to add X" guides are first-class artifacts.
• Tests on everything; CI runs dbt parse, dg check defs, and pytest on every PR., * Base: The base salary range for this role is $119,000-$185,000, depending on geographic location, experience, and qualifications.
