Accountabilities You will take ownership of the data architecture and engineering practices that ensure high-quality, dependable information across the organization. Your main responsibilities will include:

• Design, build, and maintain scalable data pipelines and architecture across Snowflake, dbt, and AWS.

• Lead technical decisions related to data ingestion, transformation, orchestration, and modeling, ensuring infrastructure remains reliable and performant.

• Develop and improve integrations with internal systems, merchants, payment platforms, and external partners.

• Build reusable dbt models that transform raw source data into trusted datasets for analytics, financial systems, and reporting.

• Establish data quality and governance standards, including automated testing, monitoring, validation, documentation, and traceability.

• Collaborate with Engineering, Analytics, Finance, Operations, and Financial Systems teams to define data requirements and deliver reliable datasets.

• Communicate technical concepts, architectural decisions, and trade-offs clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Promote engineering best practices across SQL, dbt, code reviews, CI/CD, and collaborative development workflows.

• Identify opportunities to optimize performance, simplify architecture, and reduce manual processes.

• Mentor teammates, provide technical guidance, and contribute to the long-term evolution of the analytics engineering platform.

• Integrate AI coding agents and tools into development workflows, identifying opportunities for reusable skills, automated checks, and agent-driven processes while carefully reviewing AI-generated code.

Requirements:

The ideal candidate combines extensive SQL and data engineering expertise with strong architectural judgment, independent problem-solving skills, and the ability to lead technical initiatives. The following qualifications are expected:

• 5+ years of experience as an Analytics Engineer, Data Engineer, or in a similar role focused on data infrastructure, analytics, or operational data.

• Expert-level SQL skills, including complex joins, window functions, advanced transformations, and query optimization across large datasets.

• Strong production experience with dbt and cloud data warehouses, preferably Snowflake, including data modeling, testing, documentation, and deployment practices.

• Deep understanding of data modeling principles, including dimensional modeling, facts and dimensions, slowly changing dimensions, and incremental models.

• Experience designing and maintaining end-to-end data pipelines, from source ingestion through transformation and downstream reporting.

• Proficiency with Git-based development workflows, including pull requests, code reviews, CI/CD, and collaborative development practices.

• Hands-on experience building with AI coding agents, such as Claude Code.

• Ability to independently lead technical projects, make sound architectural decisions, and balance immediate business priorities with long-term platform improvements.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with both technical and non-technical teams.

Nice-to-have qualifications:

• Experience with AWS data services such as S3, Glue, and Lambda.

• Familiarity with infrastructure as code and cloud-based data architecture.

• Working knowledge of Python for automation and validation, although the role is primarily focused on SQL and dbt.

• Experience working with APIs and external data integrations.

Benefits:

• Annual base salary range of $155,000–$170,000, depending on job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.

• Full medical, dental, and vision coverage.

• Stock opportunities in a growing early-stage startup.

• Generous and flexible paid time off policy.

• 401(k) plan with financial guidance from Morgan Stanley.

• Collaborative and supportive work environment with colleagues from diverse backgrounds.

• Remote work arrangement.
