  • The Senior Data Engineer will be a core member of the team building our next-generation data and analytics platform and advancing a data warehouse first, AI-centric operating model.
  • Working in close partnership with the Head of Data & Analytics and the broader data team, this person will own system and technical architecture and co-own data architecture—while remaining hands-on in building the platform. They will shape how data is acquired, integrated, modeled, governed, and productized across operational, revenue, and strategic use cases.
  • This is a product-building role, not a requirements-taking role. We expect the team to understand the business, anticipate what it will need next, and build reusable capabilities ahead of individual requests.
  • As part of their technical architecture ownership, this role will lead the build of AI-enabled capabilities into our data products and operating model, while also using AI to accelerate development. The objective is practical leverage: combining trusted data, strong engineering, and AI to expand what the team and business can accomplish.
  • Purpose
  • Own the system and technical architecture for our data warehouse first, AI-centric operating model, while co-owning data architecture and product design with the Head of Data & Analytics and broader data team. Build the technical foundation that turns trusted data into reusable operational, analytical, and AI-enabled capabilities—and strengthen the team’s ability to evolve that foundation over time.
  • • Senior-level experience designing and building modern data platforms, with strong hands-on data engineering experience.
  • • Deep involvement in system, technical, and data architecture—contributing to architectural decisions, evaluating tradeoffs, and translating those decisions into working implementations.
  • • Ready to take the next step from influencing architecture to leading it, with the judgment, curiosity, and ambition to earn increasing architectural ownership as the platform and team mature.
  • • Strong experience with modern cloud data warehouses, ELT patterns, data modeling, orchestration, testing, and production data operations.
  • • Demonstrated ability to move fluidly between design and hands-on implementation—turning architectural concepts into durable, scalable products.
  • • Experience supporting multiple data consumption patterns, including analytics, operational workflows, APIs/integrations, and emerging AI use cases.
  • • Practical experience building AI-enabled data or application capabilities—or the technical foundation and curiosity to lead their development.
  • • Strong judgment around architectural tradeoffs including real-time vs. batch, direct integration vs. warehouse-mediated patterns, and speed vs. long-term maintainability.
  • • Comfortable working as a technical peer with data, analytics, application, integration, and business leaders.
  • • Strong documentation, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing discipline, with a bias toward creating reusable capabilities rather than one-off solutions.
  • • An accomplished individual contributor looking for a larger arena—motivated by the opportunity to help build the platform, establish the standards, shape how the team operates, and grow into broader technical leadership. Ideal Background
  • • Senior-level experience designing and building modern data platforms, with strong hands-on data engineering experience and exposure to system, technical, or data architecture decisions.
  • • Strong experience with modern cloud data warehouses, ELT patterns, data modeling, orchestration, testing, and production data operations.
  • • Demonstrated ability to turn architectural decisions into working products—comfortable moving between design, hands-on implementation, and ongoing platform evolution.
  • • Experience designing data solutions that support multiple consumption patterns, including analytics, operational workflows, APIs/integrations, and emerging AI use cases.
  • • Practical experience building AI-enabled data or application capabilities—or the technical foundation and curiosity to lead their development.
  • • Strong judgment around architectural tradeoffs, including real-time vs. batch, direct integration vs. warehouse-mediated patterns, and speed vs. long-term maintainability.
  • • Comfortable working as a technical peer with data, analytics, application, integration, and business leaders.
  • • Strong documentation, collaboration, and knowledge -sharing discipline, with a bias toward creating reusable capabilities rather than one-off solutions.
  • • An experienced individual contributor ready for greater ownership and technical leadership—someone who has successfully delivered complex data solutions and is ready to expand their scope into architecture, technical direction, and how a data team operates.
  • • Motivated by the opportunity to build something, establish the standards, and grow as a technical leader as the platform, product, and team mature.
