About the role
The Opportunity
We’re looking for a hands-on Senior Data Engineer to take a leading role in architecting, designing, building, and evolving our AWSbased data platform.

You’ll tackle large-scale, complex data challenges while driving architectural decisions, establishing engineering best practices, and designing solutions for scalability, reliability, performance, and cost efficiency. As a senior member of the team, you’ll collaborate across engineering and product, provide technical guidance and mentorship, and help shape the evolution of our platform toward a more modern, scalable, and intelligent data architecture.
