A bit about us:

We're a fast-moving company at the intersection of AI, data, and global commerce, helping some of the world's most recognized brands reach their shoppers in ways that are relevant, respectful, and real. Behind every insight we deliver is a data platform that has to be fast, trustworthy, and built to scale - and that's where you come in.

We're looking for a Data Engineer III to take the lead on the systems and standards that turn raw data into a product people can actually rely on. This isn't a keep-the-lights-on role. You'll set direction, own architecture, and shape how data flows to both our BI tools and our AI consumers. If you treat data as a craft and hold a high bar for quality, you'll feel right at home.

Why join us?

Why you'll want to work here:

We believe great work happens when people are trusted, supported, and given room to do the best work of their careers. We back that up:

  • Flexible work-from-home arrangements
  • 401(k) match
  • Flexible vacation
  • Medical / Dental / Vision
  • 16 weeks of paid parental leave (US)
  • Technical stipend
  • Professional development programs
  • Wellness programs

Job Details

What you'll do:

  • Lead end to end. Design, build, test, deploy, and continuously improve advanced data pipelines and engineering solutions.
  • Drive real impact. Prioritize and deliver multiple high-stakes projects without dropping the ball on quality.
  • Make quality non-negotiable. Establish data quality standards with automated tests, anomaly detection, and freshness SLAs.
  • Own the modeling layer. Write and govern canonical dbt models in Snowflake using dimensional modeling principles - standardizing patterns, - enforcing testing and documentation, and managing project structure across domains.
  • Define one source of truth. Build and maintain a consistent semantic layer - metric definitions, business logic, and entity relationships - so everything stays aligned across Looker, our MCP server, and AI consumers, no matter the tooling.
  • Strengthen the foundation. Spot infrastructure improvements that cut cost, boost reliability, and eliminate single points of failure.
  • Keep the platform humming. Support Snowflake and Looker administration alongside the rest of the data platform team.

What you bring:

  • BS in Computer Science or a related field - or equivalent hands-on experience.
  • 5 years in data engineering, with a proven track record designing, building, and maintaining ELT pipelines and dimensional models in production.
  • Deep experience processing and integrating large-scale data from many sources.
  • Advanced SQL - complex joins, CTEs, the works.
  • Strong hands-on Snowflake experience (admin experience is a nice bonus, not a must).
  • Production-grade dbt chops: model development, testing, documentation, and project governance.
  • Solid coding skills in Python, Java, or a similar language.
  • Comfort with Git-based version control and CI/CD for data infrastructure.
  • Familiarity with workflow orchestration tools (Airflow, Prefect, Dagster, or similar).
  • A genuine sense of data ownership - you treat data as a product and refuse to compromise on reliability.

Bonus points for:

  • Data observability and lineage tooling.
  • Working knowledge of AI/ML.
  • Experience building a semantic layer or canonical data model with consistent metric and entity definitions.
  • Looker development or administration.
  • A background in e-commerce, retail analytics, or SaaS data platforms.
