Senior Data Engineer (Core Platform)

Compensation: ~$200,000 base + equity

Remote

We're hiring a Senior Data Engineer to own core data infrastructure for an AI-driven financial platform operating on highly complex, real-world data.

This is not an analytics or BI role. You'll focus on data ingestion, data quality, and pipeline reliability - partnering closely with senior backend engineers to build scalable, production-grade systems in a small, high-ownership team.

What You'll Do

  • Build and maintain robust data ingestion and processing pipelines
  • Own data quality across messy, fragmented, high-volume data sources
  • Partner with backend engineers to improve platform reliability and scalability
  • Solve hard data problems involving accuracy, consistency, and lineage
  • Contribute architectural ideas and long-term platform improvements

What You Bring

  • 5+ years of data engineering or backend-focused infrastructure experience
  • Proven ability to solve complex data quality and pipeline-level problems
  • Experience working with real-world, imperfect data at scale
  • Cloud experience (platform-agnostic preferred)
  • Comfortable with ambiguity and high technical ownership
  • Strong bonus: experience with financial, payments, accounting, or other regulated data platforms

Why Join

  • Own core data systems where quality directly drives business outcomes
  • High autonomy and influence in a small, senior technical team
  • Solve genuinely hard, non-toy data problems
  • Remote-first culture with periodic team meetups
  • Competitive compensation and meaningful equity
