Job description

We are building the pipelines and models that bring data together from across PerfectServe’s product portfolio. You will work closely with a staff data engineer and a platform engineer, with enough ownership to see your work in production and enough support to learn quickly.

The source systems are varied, so the work spans extending established pipelines and designing new ones from scratch. That range is a good part of the job. Why this role, specifically

Joining a platform in its first months is a different experience from joining one that is five years old. The patterns are still being set, which means your questions change them. You will see the whole path - a production source system at one end, someone making a decision at the other - rather than one layer of a stack somebody else assembled.

You will have a dedicated team to work with and learn from so the ownership comes without being thrown in unsupported. What you will do

  • Build and maintain ingestion pipelines from production source systems
  • Write transformation models that turn raw data into datasets people can trust
  • Apply dimensional and medallion modelling patterns as the warehouse takes shape
  • Deploy pipelines to production, and test them properly - idempotency, data quality checks
  • Contribute to data model and schema design, and to design reviews
  • Document what you build, including runbooks for the pipelines you own, We offer a salary range of $115,000-$140,000 USD per year, with compensation tailored to your background, strengths, and growth potential. This range reflects our commitment to pay transparency and is based on market data, internal equity, and the scope of responsibilities. Compensation is determined by several factors, including experience, skills, and team impact. We regularly review compensation to ensure fairness and consistency. Current employees with questions are encouraged to connect with their manager or People Operations., Design and build PerfectServe’s unified cloud data platform, including ingestion pipelines, integrations, data models, metrics, and consumer-facing data layers. Establish architecture, engineering, quality, and testing standards; enable safe extraction from production systems; partner with data users; and mentor data engineers. The role requires substantial cloud data platform experience, deep SQL, warehouse expertise, ELT, change-data-capture, AWS, modeling, orchestration, and data quality skills.
