About the Role

As Tech Lead Data Engineer, you’ll architect and maintain the data backbone powering every feature across our product suite. Reporting to the CTO, you will design Databricks-based ETL pipelines, model complex investment data, and surface low-latency, high-quality datasets for both user-facing features and internal AI/analytics workloads. You’ll collaborate in a remote-first hybrid culture that values in-person “bursts” of collaboration, follow ShapeUp for project planning, and ship pragmatic solutions that favor de-scoping over delays.

Responsibilities

Design, implement, and optimize large-scale ETL workflows in Databricks (Apache Spark, Delta Lake, DBT).
Develop algorithms that transform raw market data into actionable insights.
Own data quality and lineage, instituting tests, monitoring, and alerting for mission-critical pipelines.
Evolve our cloud data platform (AWS & GCP) for scale, performance, and cost efficiency.
Mentor engineers, championing best practices in code reviews, documentation, and DevOps for data.
