You will join a high-autonomy team responsible for building and scaling the complex orchestration systems that transform billions of primary-source records into actionable intelligence. This is a role for a "builder" who respects the complexity of large-scale ETL and graph databases and is "PhD-curious" about the future of AI-native data products and modern orchestration.

Proactively identify and resolve bottlenecks in our complex ETL processes, bringing a fresh perspective to refine and optimize our existing codebase.
Contribute to a robust engineering culture through rigorous code reviews, unit testing, and clear communication of design decisions.
Own the end-to-end delivery of roadmap tasks within two-week sprints, ensuring work meets high standards for quality, documentation, and performance.
Participate in roadmap planning and story refinement, eventually taking ownership of major epics that drive our long-term product defensibility.
Professional proficiency in Python and experience contributing to shared codebases using Git (branching, PRs, code reviews).
3+ years of experience working in Data Engineering
Demonstrated experience working with relational databases (PostgreSQL/BigQuery) and an interest in or familiarity with graph databases.
Familiarity with distributed computing (Spark) or a strong desire to master it.
Strong collaborative skills and the ability to work effectively in an Agile, sprint-based environment.

Hands-on experience with workflow orchestration tools like Airflow.
Experience or strong interest in LLM tuning, deployment, and AI engineering best practices.
