Build developer tools and frameworks that enable data analysts and scientists to work more efficiently and confidently. This includes data quality systems, observability platforms, testing frameworks, and enhanced dbt development experiences.
Drive cross-team platform initiatives by engaging directly with stakeholders to understand their day-to-day challenges, gathering requirements, and translating them into elegant technical solutions.
Collaborate closely with the Data Integrations team to solve Airflow orchestration challenges and improve workflow reliability across the data pipeline.
Design and implement data quality and observability solutions that catch issues early, provide clear visibility into data health, and make debugging faster and easier.
Enhance the dbt developer experience through better tooling, improved testing capabilities, and streamlined workflows that reduce friction in the model development process.
Apply software engineering best practices to analytics infrastructure—version control, CI/CD, automated testing, and clear documentation that makes systems maintainable and scalable.
Champion platform-as-a-product thinking: treat internal data practitioners as your users, gather feedback, measure impact, and continuously iterate to deliver maximum value.

5+ years of experience in data engineering, analytics engineering, or related technical roles with a focus on building tools and platforms.
Expert-level proficiency in Python—you write clean, maintainable code and understand how to build robust, production-grade systems.
Proficiency with Kubernetes and container orchestration, including experience deploying and managing data services in production Kubernetes environments. Experience with Helm charts for packaging, versioning, and deploying applications on Kubernetes.
Strong infrastructure skills, including knowledge of infrastructure-as-code tools (like Terraform or CloudFormation) and cloud platforms (AWS preferred).
Strong knowledge of dbt and modern analytics engineering practices. You understand not just how to use dbt, but how to make it work better for teams at scale.
Experience with workflow orchestration tools, particularly Airflow, and an understanding of how to build reliable, observable data pipelines.
Hands-on experience with modern data warehouses like Redshift and Snowflake, including performance optimization and cost management.
A product mindset for internal tools: you understand that great developer tools require understanding your users, not just writing code.
Strong communication and collaboration skills. You can explain complex technical concepts clearly and work effectively with stakeholders across different backgrounds.
