Data Engineer

Redwood City, California
$120,000 to $140,000 base salary + equity
Hybrid: Tuesday through Thursday onsite

Harnham is partnering with Samara, a design led housing technology company transforming how homes are designed, manufactured, delivered, and installed.

Samara operates across accessory dwelling units, single family housing, and multifamily development, combining design, manufacturing, technology, and real estate operations under one platform. As the company continues to scale its manufacturing footprint and expand across California, the volume and complexity of operational data across factories, inventory, project management, and field teams is growing rapidly.

Samara is now hiring a Data Engineer to join its lean data function in Redwood City. The position will provide immediate ownership across production pipelines, source systems, and new data infrastructure supporting the next stage of company growth.

The Role

As a Data Engineer, you will work closely with the Analytics Engineer and teams across Operations, Manufacturing, Finance, and other areas of the business.

The role is approximately 65% hands on engineering and pipeline management and 35% stakeholder collaboration.

You will inherit an existing production environment while also building new capabilities as the business scales.

Responsibilities

  • Own, maintain, and improve approximately 20 existing production data pipelines

  • Build new ETL and ELT pipelines as new operational use cases and data sources emerge

  • Improve visibility into manufacturing, inventory, project, and operational data

  • Ingest and structure external datasets, including publicly available California housing data

  • Partner directly with business stakeholders to understand requirements and translate them into reliable data solutions

  • Monitor pipeline performance, troubleshoot failures, and improve overall data reliability

  • Validate source system accuracy and identify data quality issues before they reach downstream users

  • Work with systems and data originating from platforms such as NetSuite and Autodesk

  • Help establish scalable Data Engineering practices as the data function continues to grow

What We Are Looking For

  • Approximately 2 to 4 years of professional Data Engineering experience

  • Advanced SQL skills

  • Strong experience building, maintaining, and troubleshooting production ETL or ELT pipelines

  • Experience owning data workflows from source through downstream consumption

  • Strong understanding of data quality, reliability, and source system integrity

  • Ability to communicate effectively with both technical and nontechnical stakeholders

  • Comfortable operating in a fast moving environment where priorities and business needs can evolve

  • Broad technical exposure and a willingness to work across different areas of the data stack

Preferred Experience

Experience with one or more of the following would be beneficial:

  • Python

  • dbt

  • Spark

  • Databricks

  • TypeScript

  • APIs and external data ingestion

  • Transactional databases

  • ERP platforms, particularly NetSuite

  • Manufacturing, inventory, operations, or other physical world data environments

Working Model

The position is based in Redwood City, California.

Employees are required onsite Tuesday through Thursday, with Monday and Friday offering additional flexibility.

Compensation

The base salary range for this position is $120,000 to $140,000, plus equity.
