About the role

Data Engineer at Promise to build and scale data systems powering data-driven decisions across the company, partnering with product, engineering, analytics, and finance to design reliable data architectures, ship resilient pipelines, and create foundational data products.

Responsibilities

  • Own data architecture end-to-end. Every new project we build is slightly different – how do we capture, model, and serve critical business data so it’s both flexible and straightforward.
  • Automate operational workflows. Partner with business systems and platform teams to eliminate manual data handoffs and ensure every teammate has access to the data they need, where they need it.
  • Enforce data quality at scale. Build tests, monitoring, and reconciliation systems that make datasets observable and anomalies actionable.
  • Design and maintain scalable data models, decision tools, and analytics infrastructure to empower self-serve analytics and derive insight.
  • Enable insights and experimentation. Support analytics, ML, and product engineering teams by exposing high-quality, comprehensible data through semantic layers, APIs, and real-time query systems.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience as a data or software engineer building data warehouses, pipelines, and distributed data systems.
  • Deep hands-on expertise with a modern data stack, from ingestion to transformation (dbt, etc.), orchestration (Airflow, etc.), observability, and BI (Looker, Metabase, tc.).
  • Experience operating cloud data warehouses such as Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift, including schema design, security and permissioning, and data governance.
  • Proficiency writing production-grade code in Python or SQL, and integrating with CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code workflows.
  • Ability to translate messy business requirements into elegant data systems and collaborate across engineering, product, analytics.
