• Improve data reliability, quality, observability, lineage, and performance across the data platform.
• Design and maintain scalable data pipelines and data services that enable AI/ML and GenAI use cases, including model-ready datasets, feature pipelines, and support for retrieval-based and intelligent application workflows.
• Partner with analytics engineers, data scientists, architects, and business stakeholders to translate requirements into production-grade data solutions.
• Ensure data pipelines are secure, governed, and aligned with enterprise data standards and best practices.
• Optimize data processing and storage for performance, cost, scalability, and maintainability.
• Support near real-time and batch data processing patterns as required by business use cases.
• Contribute to the design of the overall data architecture, including ingestion, transformation, orchestration, storage, semantic modelling, and data serving layers.
• Troubleshoot pipeline issues, resolve data inconsistencies, and drive root-cause remediation.
• Contribute to engineering standards, code quality, and team best practices.

To ensure you're set up for success, you will bring the following skillset & experience:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related technical field.
• 8+ years of experience in data engineering, preferably in B2B SaaS or large-scale technology companies.
• Strong experience designing and building scalable data pipelines and cloud-based data platforms.
• Advanced proficiency in SQL and strong programming skills in Python, Scala, or Java.
• Hands-on experience with modern cloud data platforms such as Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Databricks, or similar.
• Experience with data orchestration and transformation tools such as Airflow, dbt, Informatica, Fivetran, or equivalent.
• Strong understanding of data modelling, including dimensional modelling and analytics-oriented schema design.
• Experience working with data domains such as product analytics, GTM analytics, customer success, finance, or subscription analytics.
