We're currently using tools and platforms like Python, Airflow, dbt, AWS and Snowflake.
This is a fully remote position. Face to face communication is important to us, so we have quarterly in-person team meetings at our office in Alexandria, VA. Additionally, we have biannual company offsites to give all of our employees time together in person., + Design and develop data pipelines, with an eye toward how they fit into the broader data architecture

 + Make data modeling and schema design decisions - choosing the right structure for how data is stored, accessed, and extended
 + Think beyond the immediate task: consider how today's integration point becomes tomorrow's platform surface area
 + Deliver features rapidly using AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, etc.)
 + Contribute to definition of user stories
 + Collaborate with other members of the team on development & integration
 + Write unit tests and maintain high code quality, per both static code analysis & team standards
 + Be available on a rotating schedule for production issues
