About the role

the pipelines, transformations, and infrastructure that power every agent, insight, and workflow across the company.
Actively's agents make decisions in real time, which accounts to prioritize, what actions to take, when to involve a human.
All of that reasoning runs on data: CRM records, call transcripts, external signals, and customer-specific context pulled from dozens of sources.

Own the ingestion and transformation layer. Design and scale pipelines that pull structured and unstructured data from CRM systems, call transcripts, and external signals, normalizing and enriching it into representations agents can reason over in real time.
Build for operational use, not just analytics. The data you produce doesn't power dashboards
Solve for customer-specific variation at scale. Every customer has their own CRM configuration, field naming, and business logic. You'll build transformation systems that stay consistent and correct across all of them without becoming brittle.
Own reliability end to end. Observability, lineage, schema management, alerting
you define what "trust in the data" means and make sure it holds across thousands of accounts, so agents and other teams can confidently build on top of it.
You own outcomes, not just tasks, and see directly how your work changes what customers can do - across a product and go-to-market motion that is scaling fast.
The team is high-caliber and low-ego: people who work from first principles, move with urgency, and care deeply about building something that drives real value.

You have 5+ years designing and operating core data infrastructure from ingestion and transformation to serving and observability in high-growth environments where the data needed to be right, fresh, and fast.
Proficient in Python, SQL, and DBT, with hands-on experience in BigQuery or Snowflake, and familiar with orchestration tools like Fivetran, Airflow, or Polytomic.
Startup-proven or product-platform experience.
Familiarity with embedding and vector pipelines like chunking strategies, index management, and keeping representations in sync with fast-changing source data.
