Remote-friendly environment

Job summary

Catena is hiring a Data Software Engineer to own pipelines turning 248+ telematics providers into a coherent data product. You will build ingestion, normalization, and storage patterns for time-series vehicle data, and ship stop detection, ETAs, and fuel transaction matching.

The role involves write-back to provider systems and ensuring data quality. You will work with customers' engineering teams in a remote-friendly setup.

Qualifications

• 3+ years building production data pipelines or backend data services.
• Strong Python; comfortable owning services end to end, not just notebooks or DAGs.
• Solid SQL and relational data modeling: understand partitioning, indexing, and query cost.
• Experience with streaming or event-driven ingestion, and with unreliable third-party APIs.
• Cloud-native on AWS.
• You've debugged a pipeline that was producing wrong data, and you have opinions about preventing it.
• Clear written communication, we're remote and async by default.

Responsibilities

• Build and operate ingestion pipelines across telematics provider integrations, streaming, polling, and batch with retry, rate-limiting, and backpressure.
• Own the normalization layer: map provider payloads into canonical vehicle, driver, HOS, and fuel models.
• Design storage and query patterns for high-volume time-series vehicle data for real-time APIs and analytics.
• Ship data products like stop and geofence detection, ETA, location aggregates, and mileage.
• Build and maintain write-back workflows that push fuel transactions and dispatch data back into providers.
• Instrument data freshness, field completeness, provider health, and drift detection.
• Own data quality end-to-end to avoid wrong locations or mispriced transactions.
• Collaborate with customers' engineering teams on data questions.
