## Description

We're building a greenfield data platform and looking for an entry level Data Engineer to join our Automations team. This team sits at the intersection of data engineering and platform engineering - we own the DevOps, AI agent tooling, and test automation layer that makes the rest of the platform reliable and fast to iterate on. If you're early in your career and excited about building things the right way from day one, this is a rare opportunity to shape something from the ground up.

Core Responsibilities:
Help design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code for a modern data platform
Develop and maintain automated test suites to validate data pipelines, transformations, and platform components
Contribute to AI agent workflows that automate operational and data tasks
Collaborate with senior engineers to establish DevOps patterns and best practices on a greenfield codebase
Monitor, debug, and improve platform reliability and observability
Other duties as assigned.
