Data Engineer

As one of our first Data Engineers, you will be responsible for designing, building, and maintaining the pipelines and infrastructure that power our data-driven decision-making. You’ll work closely with product, operations, and engineering teams to ensure that data is clean, reliable, and ready to drive insights, from optimizing delivery routes to improving customer experiences.

This is a unique opportunity to build scalable data systems from the ground up and shape the foundation of our analytics and AI capabilities. What You’ll Do

• Design & Build Pipelines: Develop and maintain scalable ETL/ELT processes to ingest, clean, and transform data from multiple sources (internal systems, third-party APIs, IoT devices).
• Data Modeling: Design and implement efficient data models for analytics, machine learning, and operational systems.
• Infrastructure: Own the data infrastructure, leveraging cloud-native solutions (e.g., AWS, GCP, or Azure) and modern data tools.
• Collaboration: Partner with data scientists, analysts, and software engineers to deliver data products that enable smarter decision-making.

• Data Quality: Implement robust monitoring, validation, and governance to ensure accuracy, security, and compliance.

• Scalability: Architect solutions that can handle rapid growth in data volume and complexity as the business scales.

• Experience: 3+ years of experience in data engineering, preferably in a startup or high-growth environment.

• Technical Skills:

• Proficiency with SQL and at least one programming language (Python, Scala, or Java).
• Experience with cloud data warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift).
• Familiarity with workflow orchestration tools (Airflow, Dagster, Prefect).

• Hands-on experience with data streaming (Kafka, Kinesis) is a plus.

• Mindset: A builder mentality-comfortable with ambiguity, fast iterations, and working in a small but mighty team.
