Do you wake up early, eager to see how many of your ETL cron jobs failed overnight? Of course you don’t! You put an end to all of those sleepless nights by leveraging new technologies to schedule workflow dependencies and set up alerting ages ago. You’ve been getting a full 8-hours of sleep ever since!

Updater’s Data Team is a brand-new function that comprises Data Engineering and Data Science/Analytics, working together closely to ensure we are a data-driven company. By building and maintaining the infrastructure that powers all of our Data Science, Product, Marketing, Sales, and Success analytical and operational functions, Data Engineering is poised to become one of the most highly leveraged teams at Updater!

What You’ll Do

As the first Data Engineer at Updater, you’ll lead the development of an innovative data environment by leveraging industry best practices and cutting-edge approaches to build a robust and scalable data platform. You’re excited to come on board and work with our Engineering & Tech Ops teams to understand our data model and construct a thoughtful approach to building a scalable data architecture that provides a foundation for teams across the company to self-serve their data needs.

You will lead the development, documentation, access, and quality of our centralized data warehouse solution (all from scratch!), and will balance ready access to existing data features while incorporating new features in a timely manner. You’ll collaborate with engineering on ensuring data capture for new product initiatives, with our business partners across all major functions at the organization to anticipate data needs, and proactively develop data solutions to address the toughest business problems.

Our ideal candidate isn’t satisfied until a project is seen through to meaningful impact. If you love working with data and want to see your work impact the entire organization, we want to talk to you!

  • Experience with modern DWH environments (AWS Redshift and S3, Snowflake, etc)
  • Experience with git, GitHub, and the pull request workflow

Bonus Points for:
