About the role
- The team's mandate is to turn our biggest unaddressed retention bet - predicting what home service a client will need and when, then reaching them proactively - from concept into validated, in-market tests.
- It's a strong fit for someone who wants outsized ownership on a small team, is energized by ambiguity and fast iteration, and wants to help prove out (or kill) a major product bet with real evidence rather than another deck.
- Use AI coding tools as a default part of your workflow - to scaffold pipelines, write tests, and speed up code review - so the team can move from hypothesis to live test quickly
Responsibilities
- We're hiring a Staff Data Engineer to build the data foundation for a new discovery-stage team focused on Taskrabbit client retention and personalization.
- Build and maintain the data pipelines and models that capture client home profiles, job history, and seasonal or event-driven signals (weather, life events, moves) feeding a predictive personalization engine
- Develop dbt models and semantic layers that let the team quickly stand up and measure in-market tests, such as multi-category punch cards or a recurring-category revenue model
- Work daily with Product, Design, Marketing, BizOps, and ML partners in a small, fast-moving pod
Requirements
- Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States without employer sponsorship now or in the future.
- The ideal candidate has solid experience with modern data tools - dbt, Airflow, Snowflake (or equivalent) - and is genuinely excited to work with AI coding tools day to day.
- Experience with a cloud data warehouse such as Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift
- Familiarity with BI or semantic-layer tools such as Looker, Mode, or Tableau
Nice to have
- Experience with streaming platforms such as Kafka or Kinesis - this team's predictions run on event-driven triggers (weather events, life events), so comfort with real-time data processing is a strong plus.
Skills
- Solid data modeling skills (e.g., dimensional modeling, star/snowflake schemas)
- Proficient in SQL and at least one general-purpose programming language (e.g., Python, Java, or Scala)
