About the role

  • If you love data and are looking for unlimited growth opportunities, we want to talk with you about joining Further.
  • We have an award winning culture of extraordinary people.

Responsibilities

  • schema design, indexing, query plan analysis, RLS.
  • warehouse design (Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, ClickHouse) or modern OLAP patterns.
  • Postgres schema design, tenant isolation via row-level security, indexing strategy, query patterns, and migration discipline.
  • projection design, materialized views, semantic layer for downstream analytics and AI consumption.
  • You decide how we move from event log to queryable shape and how that shape stays cheap to maintain.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of data engineering, data platform, or database architecture experience, with at least 3 owning the architecture, not just the implementation.
  • Production experience with event-sourced systems.
  • You have personally implemented or evolved an event envelope, dealt with the upcaster chain problem, and lived with the consequences of an early schema decision.
  • You can take an event log and produce a queryable shape that analysts and AI systems can actually use.
  • Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis.

Nice to have

  • Drizzle, Prisma, or another modern TypeScript ORM at production depth.
  • Workflow engine experience (Temporal, Cadence, Airflow) and the data implications of long-running processes.
  • Background in feature stores, ML pipelines, or model evaluation infrastructure.
  • Semantic layer experience: dbt, Cube, or Malloy.
  • Compliance experience: SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, data residency.
  • Open-source work or public writing on data architecture.
  • What you'll be doing in this role:
  • The canonical event envelope and schema evolution strategy: how events are versioned, how upcasters chain, how projections rebuild, and how we add fields without breaking history.
