Job Description

Key Responsibilities

· Own end-to-end design and delivery of data pipelines, from ingestion to transformation to serving

· Design data models and storage architectures that support both operational and analytical workloads

· Build and maintain infrastructure for data quality, observability, and governance

· Contribute to broader product and platform architecture, working alongside other software engineers as priorities shift

· Design systems that are extensible enough to support AI/retrieval-based features over time

· Contribute significantly to key technical decisions, escalating trade-offs where they intersect with broader priorities

· Collaborate with stakeholders on platform and deployment decisions

· Work with attention to data sensitivity and system constraints in a regulated environment
