The Role:

As the Data Engineering Lead, you'll own our data warehouse and everything around it — the pipelines that feed it, the models built on top of it, the metering our billing depends on, and the reporting the company makes decisions from. This role is heavy on backend and infrastructure, specialized in data.

It's hands-on and it's a lead role, and both halves are real. You'll be writing production code and setting the architecture, and you'll grow into leading the team we build behind it. If you want to own a layer of the company outright rather than pick up tickets on someone else's roadmap, this is that job.

As the Data Engineering Lead, you’ll:

- Own the design, build, and operation of our data warehouse and transformation layer, from schema design through performance and cost

- Build the ingestion pipelines that feed it, and own their reliability

- Design and own the data models behind usage metering and billing

- Stand up and maintain BI and reporting so leadership, product and GTM can answer their own questions instead of filing a ticket and waiting
