Job description

• As an engineer on the Data Team, you’ll operate as a technical leader on the layer everything else is built on
• The team owns Qualified’s data end to end: leads and accounts data models, ETL pipelines, Data 360, Salesforce sync, analytics and insights, data integrations, and Data APIs
• Every product area and every AI agent we ship depends on this layer being correct, fresh, and fast. This is a newer team with real greenfield ahead
• You’ll shape the architecture of core pipelines and data models, set patterns that other teams build against, and turn a set of inherited systems into a coherent platform
• You’ll also play a direct role in Piper’s intelligence: her ability to reason, personalize, and act is bounded by the data she can see, and the enterprise deals we’re closing depend on how confidently that data moves between Qualified and Salesforce
• Design and ship data systems end-to-end: models, pipelines, sync, and serving layers that the whole platform builds on
• Drive technical design for high-volume, multi-component systems (ETL, event streaming, analytics stores, APIs) with an emphasis on correctness, freshness, and operational excellence
• Own Salesforce data flows at enterprise scale
• Build the analytics and insights infrastructure that powers customer-facing reporting and internal decision-making
• Define data quality standards: SLOs, data contracts, observability, and the tooling to enforce them
• Own delivery from scope/design through launch, monitoring, and iterative improvement—anticipating risks, sequencing work, and aligning stakeholders
• Partner closely with product teams and engineering leadership to make data a first-class platform capability
• Raise team effectiveness through mentoring, technical guidance, code review, and improving standards, tooling, and processes
• Build the layer everything depends on: Own the data systems that power every product area and every AI agent we ship, with impact that compounds across the platform
• Real greenfield, real constraints: Shape architecture and patterns on a newer team while serving production traffic for major enterprises from day one
• AI as a core product surface: Piper’s intelligence is bounded by the data she can reason over. Your work directly raises that ceiling
• Salesforce ecosystem leverage: Define how Qualified data moves into Salesforce Data Cloud and the broader ecosystem, unlocking enterprise expansion
• High bar, low bureaucracy: Work with a team that values craft and decisive execution, where strong ideas win and shipping is the default

Benefits

• Medical Care
• Life Insurance
• Retirement Savings
• Employee Assistance Programs
• With 9 standard holidays and four floating holidays, you get a total 13 paid days off each year
