About Jellyfish
Jellyfish is rewriting the manual on how high-performing engineering teams actually work within an AI world. We’re seeking a Staff Data Engineer who’s passionate about building and scaling robust data infrastructure, defining integration patterns, and driving technical strategy across large-scale systems. Ideally, you combine deep hands-on expertise with the ability to influence architecture and direction across teams. This is a high-agency role where you’ll help shape not just what gets built, but how we build it — and raise the bar for the engineers around you.
What You’ll Do
Responsibilities
•
Define the architecture and long-term technical direction, design and implementation of our data pipelines and integrations platform for storage, transformation and export at scale.
•
Drive integrations with third-party tools and establish the standards that make future integrations faster and more reliable
•
Own our infrastructure as code strategy using Terraform, and contribute to how we evolve our cloud data infrastructure
•
Architect workflow orchestration systems for near-real-time and batch data processing, with a focus on reliability and scalability
•
Lead the design and implementation of data export pipelines that serve diverse customer needs
•
Spearhead development of internal tooling and agentic workflows that meaningfully accelerate engineering velocity across the org
•
Serve as a technical anchor — leading design reviews, mentoring engineers, and elevating how the team approaches complex problems
•
Partner with engineering leadership on roadmap prioritization, cross-team dependencies, and org-wide technical strategy
•
Communicate clearly about technical decisions, tradeoffs, and project status to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders
About You
Requirements
•
You have deep expertise building and scaling data pipelines, and a track record of owning complex data infrastructure end-to-end — not just contributing to it
•
AI - driven developer who dives deep into AI first workflows
•
Expert Python engineer with strong opinions about how to build reliable, maintainable systems at scale
•
Designed and led large-scale third-party API integration work, and you know what separates a maintainable integration from a brittle one
•
Fluent in infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar) and think about infrastructure as a product, not an afterthought
•
Experienced with AI/LLM tool integrations (Claude, Copilot, etc.) and understand the unique infrastructure demands they create
•
You have production experience with workflow orchestration tools (Prefect, Airflow, Dagster) and can make the hard architectural calls
•
A natural technical leader — you build consensus, unblock others, and make the engineers around you better
•
You think in systems: you consider user needs, business impact, and long-term maintainability when designing solutions
•
Exceptional communicator who can write a design doc, lead a review, and distill a complex tradeoff for any audience
•
Located in EST or CST time zone
Bonus points if:
•
You’ve thrived at a rapidly scaling startup and know how to balance speed with technical rigor
•
You have hands-on experience with Delta Lake and lakehouse architectures
•
You’ve built deep integrations with developer tools (Jira, GitHub, GitLab, CI/CD systems) and have strong opinions about how to do it well
•
You bring strong perspectives on how engineering teams work best — and the tools that help or hurt
A list of job experiences and qualification requirements is great, but humility, a performance-driven attitude, and a team-player approach are most important to us. We love to have fun and win in the process. We only hire people who have a passion for building great companies in an environment where a sense of humor is a must.
Occasional travel may be required.
