Day-to-day

  • Design, build, and operate data pipelines that process terabytes of transactional data daily using Airflow/Composer and BigQuery
  • Own end-to-end data models and transformations that power merchant analytics, operational reporting, and ML features
  • Build and maintain embedded analytics infrastructure — the data products our merchants interact with directly
  • Evolve our data platform on GCP, including BigQuery, Cloud SQL, AlloyDB, and CDC datastreams
  • Improve data quality and reliability through testing, observability, alerting, and validation frameworks
  • Own data lineage, metadata, and documentation, and help prepare our data layer for agentic and LLM-powered use cases with semantic clarity and standardized metric definitions
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with product, ML, and GTM teams, and contribute to technical direction through design docs and architecture decisions

You’re likely a strong fit if you:

  • Have 5–8 years of experience building and operating production data systems
  • Have strong SQL skills and are proficient in Python, with flexibility to pick up other languages as needed. Comfortable building and maintaining APIs.
  • Have worked with modern data stacks on cloud platforms (GCP preferred, but AWS or Azure transfers well), including cloud data warehouses like BigQuery, ELT patterns, and orchestration with Airflow
  • Understand data modeling deeply — dimensional modeling, slowly changing dimensions, incremental processing
  • Treat data quality, lineage, and observability as first-class engineering concerns
  • Communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders and are comfortable working cross-functionally
  • Already use AI and agentic coding tools as a core part of how you work for planning, code generation, debugging, and code review.

Signals That You’ll Thrive Here

  • You’ve worked in startup or high-ownership environments where you wore multiple hats
  • You’ve built or maintained embedded analytics or multi-tenant data products
  • You’re excited about making data accessible to AI systems, whether that’s through better metadata, semantic layers, or preparing datasets for agentic workflows
  • You care about cost optimization and data governance
