## Description

We're looking for a hands-on Data Architect & Engineer someone who can both design the blueprint and build the house. You won't be handing off specs to a team; you'll own the full data lifecycle, from modeling and governance to pipelines and delivery. Embedded within the Engineering team, you'll be a core collaborator on how Bambee's data infrastructure is built and scaled shaping how we use data to drive product decisions, business intelligence, and AI features.

What You'll Do

Architecture & Strategy

 * Design and own Bambee's data architecture schema design, data models, and the overall structure of our data ecosystem
 * Define data governance standards, naming conventions, and documentation practices
 * Partner with product, engineering, and business stakeholders to align data infrastructure with company goals
 * Evaluate and recommend tools, platforms, and vendors (warehouses, orchestration, BI layers)

Engineering & Execution

 * Build and maintain reliable ETL/ELT pipelines that move data from source systems into our warehouse
 * Instrument data quality checks and monitoring across pipelines
 * Manage and optimize our data warehouse (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift)
 * Collaborate with analysts and PMs to ensure clean, well-modeled data is available for reporting and AI/ML use cases
 * Support BI tooling and self-serve analytics infrastructure
