About the role

This is a foundational role on a small, high-caliber seed team working at the intersection of modern data engineering and applied AI.

Own End-to-End Delivery of Core Data Platform Components
Design and ship the data normalization, schema mapping, validation, enrichment, and distribution pipeline for a net-new intelligent data warehouse
Drive Technical Architecture
Partner with a small seed team to define the end-to-end architecture for an AI-native data warehouse serving institutional financial clients
Bring opinionated decisions on schema design, normalization strategies, API exposure patterns, and data distribution approaches
Build AI Evaluation Infrastructure
Design and implement the evaluation framework that makes AI-generated outputs trustworthy in high-stakes financial data contexts
Build cross-model comparison tooling, deterministic validation checks, and human-in-the-loop review workflows
Fertility and growing family support

7+ years of software engineering experience, with demonstrated Staff-level technical scope and impact
Strong hands-on experience with data pipeline or data warehouse engineering: schema design, ETL/ELT patterns, normalization, and API-based data distribution
A portfolio of shipped production systems - we will ask you to walk through specific technical decisions you personally made and code you personally wrote; this is not a role for someone whose primary contribution has been directing others

Fluency with AI-assisted and agentic development workflows
you use these tools daily and have strong opinions about how to use them effectively
Experience with AWS data infrastructure
Redshift experience a plus
Ability to critically evaluate AI-generated code and outputs, including identifying failure modes, regressions, and edge cases
Experience with RAG pipelines, vector stores, or document extraction systems
Background in financial services data - familiarity with fund administration, investment data schemas, institutional reporting workflows, or related domains is a meaningful differentiator

Compensation for this position includes a base salary, equity, and a variety of benefits.
The U.S. base salary range for this role is $210,000 - $260,000 USD.
Actual base salaries will be based on candidate-specific factors, including experience, skillset, and location, and local minimum pay requirements as applicable.
Annual professional development stipend

We are building a next-generation intelligent data platform for private markets - a greenfield initiative that will reshape how financial data is ingested, normalized, validated, enriched, and distributed across a complex ecosystem.
