About the role

You won't be measured by the pipelines you personally ship, but by the leverage and reliability the platform gives everyone else.

Responsibilities

Design the technical architecture of the Databricks Data Warehouse - ingestion, storage, compute, orchestration, governance, and observability - and act as the pattern reviewer and architectural sounding board for the team.
Build, scale, and optimize secure, self-service frameworks for batch and streaming data so the same request shape is never solved by hand twice.
Treat the platform like production software: define and defend SLOs, own lineage and observability, and lead incident triage and root-cause analysis to durable fixes.
Design governance and multi-tenancy as first-class guardrails - least-privilege access, auditing, cost controls, and privacy-aware patterns - across app-team schemas and multiple workspaces.
Raise the team's technical bar through design review, code review, and mentorship, setting standards that are adopted because they're good.
Make documentation a first-class deliverable - every pattern ships with the docs that let an analyst, partner team, or AI agent use it without asking us.
8+ years of data engineering / data platform experience, including significant time as a senior IC building reusable infrastructure that other teams depend on at scale.
Demonstrated technical leadership - setting architecture direction, reviewing designs, and mentoring engineers on a data platform team.
Data governance, security, and multi-tenancy competence - least-privilege access, auditing, lineage, and privacy-aware design.
Join us in building the credit system that people deserve.

Requirements

Experience with Terraform or similar Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools, and a cloud provider stack (AWS, GCP, or Azure).

Nice to have

Tilt runs on data-driven decisions, and our Data Platform is what makes that possible.
Over the last two years our team built the governed, queryable Databricks warehouse the company now operates on, plus the dbt gold layer that turns raw data into something teams can actually use.
it's scaling how we extend it so Analytics, Data Science, and app can move fast without bottlenecking on us.
Every time one of those teams waits on a ticket, the whole company's decision-making slows down.
Our job is to make that wait disappear.

Compensation

we gather twice yearly to reconnect over shared meals or kayaking adventures. (We've visited Vail, San Diego, and Mexico City, to name a few.)

Benefits

You'll get started with a WFH office reimbursement.
Competitive pay: We're big on potential, and it's reflected in our competitive compensation packages and generous equity.
Complete support: Find flexible health plans at every premium level, and substantial subsidies that stand up to global standards.
Those who stand behind their work, celebrating the wins and learning from the missteps equally.
