Key Responsibilities

This isn't just a pipeline-builder role — we're looking for someone who thinks in systems, builds platforms others can extend, and is excited about pushing the boundaries of what data engineering looks like in an AI-first world. You'll manage data APIs, architect Spark-driven workflows at scale, design data platforms as products, and build the next generation of intelligent tooling including MCP servers and AI agents that automate and accelerate data engineering workflows.
Our team promotes an agile, collaborative, and supportive environment where diverse thinking, innovative design, and experimentation are welcomed and encouraged.
This role is open to candidates residing in the US and Canada except the San Francisco Bay Area and New York Metro City.
