About this role

Job description:

Job Title: Data Engineer

Type of Position: Full Time (Remote)

Salary Range: $100,000 - $180,000 per year

Hours: Monday - Friday, 9 am to 6 pm PST

We are looking for a seasoned Data Engineer to play a dual role in accelerating our data capabilities and ensuring absolute data integrity. With 5+ years of hands-on experience, you will be responsible for moving our data ecosystem away from third-party visualization dependencies and building a centralized cloud data warehouse. A critical component of this role is owning our data quality assurance (QA) — you will develop infrastructure to ingest complex structured and unstructured data under tight API constraints, while simultaneously building automated testing frameworks to validate that data at every stage of the pipeline.

Our Approach

We don’t come to this role with a locked-in technology stack — and that’s intentional. You’ll work closely with our team to evaluate options, weigh cost and scalability tradeoffs, and recommend the right solution for our specific needs. We’re looking for someone who can think critically about the build vs. buy decision, bring informed recommendations to the table, and help us arrive at a solution that is both technically sound and cost-effective. Collaboration, transparency, and shared ownership of outcomes are core to how we work.

Key Responsibilities

Data Ingestion & Engineering

Infrastructure Design

• Architect and build a formal cloud data warehouse ecosystem to establish a single, reliable source of truth, selecting the platform that best fits our scale and budget.

API & Endpoint Optimization

• Design custom ingestion systems and caching layers to seamlessly stream data from complex external APIs without hitting rate limits or dropping payloads.

Unstructured Data Processing

• Build pipelines capable of parsing, structuring, and storing unstructured data sets for downstream business intelligence initiatives.
