Job description

Position Summary

We’re hiring a Senior Data Engineer to own data at truly massive scale. You’ll design and run pipelines that clean, enrich, and serve data spanning hundreds of attributes across 80M+ companies and 800M+ people. The role blends classic data engineering with data operations, vendor/BPO orchestration, and data partnerships.

What we’re looking for
  • Core stack: Python, Dagster, DuckDB
  • Pipelines at scale: Building resilient ELT/ETL with strong contracts, idempotency, and lineage.
  • Data operations: Set quality bars, manage BPO workflows, and run SLAs with external data partners.
  • Serving & access: Position data for production use from serving infrastructure, documentation, and SLAs for internal consumers.
  • Cost & performance: You tune storage/compute and keep a sharp eye on unit economics.
  • Opinionated: Deep level of understanding of the technological landscape, making both high level system and granular code design decisions based on understanding rather than preference - diving deep on unknown patterns in order to build the best product.

Responsibilities
  • Own end-to-end data flows: ingestion, normalization, entity resolution, enrichment, and delivery.
  • Stand up monitoring for freshness, completeness, and accuracy; drive RCA and prevention.
  • Build internal tools that make data discoverable and usable by engineering and product.
  • Recruit, onboard, and manage BPO vendors; negotiate and run data partnerships.

Nice to have
  • Experience with big data, columnar storage formats, vector indexes, and privacy/compliance in data products.

Logistics:
  • Compensation: $165K - $250K salary, $100K-200K equivalent in new hire equity (4 year vest) 
  • Location: New York City. We are a fully in-office team working out of Midtown Manhattan Monday through Friday. We allow for WFH days when anyone is traveling, but we do not allow for permanent remote work.
  • Benefits:
    • Generous health, dental, and vision insurance
    • 401k with 3% automatic contribution (no vesting)
    • Paid Lunches
    • Wellness and Citi Bike benefit
