This is a hands-on engineering role with significant ownership across data pipelines, backend applications, analytics systems, and customer data integrations. You will build systems that ingest data from a wide variety of customer platforms, transform it into reliable and curated datasets, and make that data available to our ML systems, analytics applications, and customer-facing products. The role is primarily backend focused, but we are a startup-you should be comfortable working across the stack and occasionally building frontend functionality when needed to get a product or capability shipped. We value engineers who can take an ambiguous problem, determine the right technical approach, and drive it independently from design through production. What You'll Do * Own backend and data systems end-to-end, from architecture and implementation to production operation and scale * Design and build scalable data pipelines for CRM, web, advertising, product, and other customer data * Build integrations with data warehouses and platforms such as BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks, Redshift, and customer-managed databases * Design reliable ingestion patterns across APIs, cloud storage, databases, data sharing, batch processing, and event-driven systems * Build curated datasets and data models used by ML systems, analytics, reporting, and customer-facing applications * Develop backend APIs, services, and internal applications using Python and TypeScript * Build systems for large historical backfills as well as reliable, low-latency incremental processing * Solve systemic problems around data quality, schema evolution, scalability, observability, reliability, and operational efficiency * Build tooling that makes customer onboarding, data validation, configuration, and troubleshooting faster and more automated * Work across GCP and AWS and make pragmatic architecture decisions based on the problem at hand * Occasionally contribute to frontend applications when necessary to deliver complete product experiences * Help define architecture, engineering standards, and reusable patterns as the platform scales * Mentor other engineers and raise the engineering bar across the team * Follow and enforce security best practices, including secure coding, proper handling of sensitive data, authentication/authorization controls, and compliance with company security policies
