Numerator is seeking a Data Engineer I to play a pivotal role in driving decision-making, uncovering new opportunities, and enhancing our rapidly evolving platforms. In this role, you will lead initiatives to automate, enhance, maintain, and scale services in a dynamic, fast-growing environment.

As a Data Engineer I, you’ll be instrumental in delivering data products, analytics, and models efficiently and independently. This cross-functional role involves designing and developing robust data pipelines, building infrastructure to evaluate and deploy data engineering models, and collaborating closely with software engineers.

How You'll Spend Your Time

  • Lead complex, end-to-end projects focused on improving data quality and ensuring statistical models (e.g., sampling, segmentation, classification, predictive modeling) are supported by clean and validated data
  • Design and develop pipelines that enforce data validation, quality checks, and best practices for integrating Data Science models into customer-facing products

What You'll Bring to Numerator

  • 1 years of experience designing data warehouses, building data pipelines, or working in data-intensive engineering roles with a strong focus on data quality
  • Proficiency in a major programming language (preferably Python) and SQL with experience in implementing data validation and transformation processes
  • Expertise in data modeling, ETL design (especially Airflow and Dbt), and ensuring that data transformations meet business goals while maintaining integrity and quality
  • Experience designing and deploying cloud-based production solutions (AWS, Azure, or GCP), ensuring data quality is maintained across environments
  • Strong attention to detail, intellectual curiosity, and a commitment to delivering high-quality data in a fast-paced, collaborative environment

Nice to haves

  • Familiarity with Amazon Web Services (EC2, RDS, EKS).
  • Experience with Terraform and/or Ansible (or similar) for infrastructure deployment
  • Familiarity with Airflow -- building and monitoring DAGs and developing custom operators
  • Familiarity with Dbt and Airbyte for data transformation and migration.
  • Familiarity with Snowflake, Databricks, or another data warehouse.
  • Exposure to containerized services (Docker/Kubernetes)
  • Experience working with marketing insights, shopping data, or in the retail industry

What We Offer:

  • An inclusive and collaborative company culture- we work in an open environment while working together to get things done, and adapt to the changing needs as they come.
  • Market competitive total compensation package.
  • Volunteer time off and charitable donation matching.
  • Strong support for career growth, including mentorship programs, leadership training, access to conferences and employee resource groups.
  • Great benefits package including health/vision/dental, Personal Spending Account, unlimited PTO, flexible schedule, 401K matching, travel reimbursement and more.
