Senior Data Engineer (Remote - US only)

A data infrastructure team at a company that turns information from many sources into reliable, current company intelligence is hiring a senior engineer to own its data platform from ingestion architecture through production operations. The work supports data products that depend on trusted, well-tested records. The role suits someone who wants broad ownership of design and day-to-day reliability.

What you'll do

• Design and build a platform that handles concurrent ingestion, event-driven processing, and orchestrated batch workflows.
• Ingest data from provider APIs, webhooks, files, and web scraping, with rate limiting and strong failure handling.
• Run scheduled workflows and historical backfills in an orchestrator such as Airflow, Dagster, or Prefect.
• Build queue-based event systems with retries, dead-letter handling, and controlled replay.
• Store raw data in cloud storage and transform it with dbt into raw, standardized, and curated layers; design and tune PostgreSQL schemas and loading patterns.
• Implement idempotent loads, data contracts, validation, pipeline tests, freshness monitoring, and failure alerts.

What you need

• At least 5 years building and operating production data platforms; 8+ years is a plus.
• Production experience with workflow orchestration (Airflow preferred) including dependencies, retries, and recovery.
• Hands-on production experience with dbt and Google Cloud Platform.
• Strong Python (asyncio, aiohttp, or HTTPX for concurrent HTTP) and strong SQL and PostgreSQL skills.
• Experience with messaging or task queues, data contracts, retention policies, automated validation, and monitoring.
• Web scraping (Scrapy, Playwright, Selenium, Beautiful Soup), entity resolution, or LLM-based extraction experience is a plus.

Applicants must be based in: United States.
