- Exposure to ETL tools such as Fivetran, DBT, or equivalent.
- API experience: Python-based API frameworks for data pipeline ingestion.

We meaningfully differentiate pay for our top performers, who have the opportunity to earn above-market compensation that can outpace the broader market over time.
- Beyond compensation, we provide the foundations that enable long-term success: a flexible, employee-led remote model, a professional development stipend, comprehensive health and parental leave plans, and more.
