About the role

In the role of Staff Data Engineer for Concepts Lab, you will report to the VP of the Concepts Lab.
We are considering applicants for the location of Los Angeles, CA (onsite).
You will move fluidly between hands-on analytics work, and partnership with PMs, designers, and engineers across the company.

Set the technical bar for the lab's data work, including design reviews, code quality, observability, cost management, and security practices, and mentor engineers and analysts who collaborate with us.
Partner across teams to move successful concepts from prototype into production, working at the inflection point between central Data and Platform teams and upstream and downstream Software Engineering teams to hand off systems that scale beyond the lab.
Architect and build the end-to-end data foundation for Concepts Lab on Databricks (Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, Spark, Databricks SQL), spanning ingestion from AWS and GCP sources through to curated, analytics-ready datasets.
Perform hands-on analytics: write the SQL, build the dashboards, and run the exploratory analyses that turn lab concepts into evidence, partnering directly with PMs and product leaders on the questions that matter.
The team partners closely with engineering, product, and business leaders to test assumptions, build evidence, and transition validated concepts into delivery teams.
Support program for new parents

You possess deep expertise in Databricks, including Spark (PySpark and/or Scala), Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, Databricks SQL.
You are equally strong in SQL and dimensional data modeling, and have shipped warehouse layers and semantic models that analysts and stakeholders actually trust and use.
Success in your first year looks like a Concepts Lab where every new idea has a clear, trustworthy path from question to data to decision and where the team ships faster because of the foundation you have built.
