Sr. Data Engineer - US (Remote)

Luxury Presence is building the AI growth platform for real estate, backed by top investors and experiencing rapid growth. As a Sr. Data Engineer, you will shape platform architecture and drive AI-powered product delivery, playing a crucial role in transforming the engineering organization.

Responsibilities:

• Build and scale high-throughput streaming pipelines
• Design, implement, and operate pipelines ingesting 400M+ monthly MLS updates across 350+ integrations using Airflow, Spark Streaming, Kafka, and Iceberg—ensuring reliability, performance, and data correctness
• Model and deliver high-quality, production-grade real estate datasets
• Develop and maintain datasets that power core product experiences, with a focus on data modeling, transformation logic, and balancing freshness, accuracy, and cost
• Strengthen data quality and observability
• Implement and improve data quality checks, monitoring, and alerting to detect issues early and reduce downstream impact
• Leverage AI to improve data operations
• Contribute to AI-driven tooling that helps triage, debug, and resolve data quality issues, increasing team efficiency and reducing manual intervention

Requirements:

• 6+ years of professional data engineering or software engineering experience
• Strong experience with distributed data processing and streaming systems (Spark / PySpark, Kafka)
• Proficiency in Python (Pydantic preferred) and familiarity with Node/TypeScript is a plus
• Experience building and maintaining data pipelines on AWS using tools like Airflow, Spark Streaming, and Iceberg
• Solid understanding of data modeling and working with large-scale datasets
• Familiarity with event-driven systems and ingestion patterns (Kafka, SQS)
• Experience implementing data quality checks, monitoring, and debugging data issues
• Proven track record leading high-impact initiatives from concept through production in a SaaS environment
• Expert-level grasp of software design principles and experience with multi-tenant platform architectures
• You already build with AI daily. You use Claude Code as a core part of your workflow, not as a novelty
• You have strong opinions, loosely held, about how AI changes software architecture, team structure, and engineering culture
• You think in systems. You connect technical decisions to customer outcomes and long-term business value
• You communicate clearly and directly. You can explain complex tradeoffs to product, design, and executive stakeholders
• You're energized by ambiguity and speed. You thrive in a fast-growing company where the roadmap evolves and ownership is real
• You like to have fun at work. We take our craft seriously, but we don't take ourselves too seriously. We celebrate wins, crack jokes, and genuinely enjoy building together
• Interest in applying AI/ML or automation to improve data workflows is a plus
