About the role

- Design and operate the ETL backbone that powers cost, margin, and usage analytics with durable, observable pipelines.

- Hands-on experience building ingestion pipelines into a warehouse (BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift) and at least one low-latency analytical store (ClickHouse, Druid, Pinot, or similar).
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience as a software or data engineer, with a software-engineering-heavy track record (Python, Go, or similar)
- Demonstrated ability to ship code into critical production infrastructure safely, including familiarity with database performance, query patterns, and incident risk.
- Strong SQL and working proficiency in dbt and orchestration tooling (Dagster, Airflow, Prefect).
- Track record of partnering across teams (infra, product engineering, data) and translating business questions into durable systems.
