About The Role We’re looking for a Staff Data Engineer to own and evolve our analytics and data infrastructure. This is a high-impact, individual contributor role at the intersection of product and engineering where you’ll be responsible not just for building pipelines, but for driving business outcomes from the data.
This is the first time we’re hiring at this level for data engineering, so we need someone who thrives in ambiguity, takes ownership, and can operate independently from day one. You’ll have the opportunity to shape our data architecture and set the technical direction for how we turn data into decisions by identifying what’s working, what’s not, and driving the actions that move the business forward.
