As the most senior member of the data team, you’ll architect our Snowflake-based stack, design robust pipelines, and collaborate with teams across the business to drive data quality, scalability, and real-time insights. Ultimately you will be shaping how data is used across the company! You won’t be programmer #300 working on a niche backoffice tool - we act like owners to make a real impact at a scale-up company. On our team, you can expect deep technical work with company-wide visibility.

• Influence data architecture, tooling choices, and long-term strategy, ensuring alignment with business and technology needs and growth plans
• Build and optimize scalable ETL/ELT pipelines with AWS services, Python, and Airflow
• Establish and enforce rigorous standards for data quality, observability, and governance, including access control, lineage, and compliance requirements
• Prepare and evolve the data platform to support advanced analytics, AI, and machine learning use cases
• Collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, and Customer Success to deliver reliable, trusted data for analytics and reporting

WHAT YOU BRING

• Hands-on Snowflake experience in production environments
• Proven experience designing and maintaining large-scale data pipelines 
• Strong SQL and Python skills for data transformation and orchestration
• Experience with ETL/ELT tools like Airflow, dbt, or similar 
• Familiarity with AWS cloud infrastructure
  • Think: S3, CloudTrail, Lambda, Step Functions, EventBridge, and Glue
• Deep understanding of data modeling, performance optimization, and query tuning
• Experience designing data workflows, ensuring data quality, reliability, and performance

WHO YOU ARE

• Ability to balance business concerns with technical goals
• Possesses intellectual humility and seeks out constructive criticism of their work
• Generates positivity and lift in the skills of those around them
• Takes ownership of their codebase, even if they didn’t write that code
• Recognizes the value of documentation and boring code (and the dangers of unnecessary complexity)
• Seeks out coaching and takes critical feedback well
• Positive can-do attitude with the ability to thrive amidst ambiguity as needed

WHAT WE OFFER

• Estimated base salary range $95,000 - 160,000 plus annual discretionary bonus.
  • Exact compensation for this role depends on a variety of factors, including experience, skills, internal equity, market data, and location.
