About the role

ABOUT THE ROLE

Join a data infrastructure and analytics team building a platform that turns information from multiple sources into reliable, up-to-date company intelligence. You will own the platform end to end, from architecture and ingestion to production operations, enabling trusted data for downstream products.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Design and build a multi-source data platform for concurrent ingestion, event-driven processing, and orchestrated batch workflows.

- Ingest data from provider APIs, webhooks, files, and web scraping with rate limits and robust failure handling.

- Orchestrate scheduled workflows and historical backfills using tools such as Airflow, Dagster, or Prefect.

- Build event-driven systems with messaging or task queues, including retries, dead-letter queues, and controlled replay.

- Preserve original payloads in Google Cloud Storage and transform data with dbt into raw, standardized, and curated layers.

- Implement idempotent upserts, data contracts, validation, pipeline tests, and monitoring for freshness and failures.

- Design and optimize PostgreSQL schemas and loading patterns, and integrate enrichment and LLM-based structured extraction.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- At least 5 years building and operating production data platforms, integrating multiple sources from architecture through deployment and ongoing operations.

- Production experience with workflow orchestration, including dependencies, retries, and failure recovery; Airflow experience is preferred.

- Hands-on production experience with dbt and Google Cloud Platform.

- Strong Python skills, including asynchronous HTTP and concurrent processing with asyncio, aiohttp, or HTTPX.

- Strong SQL and PostgreSQL skills, including data modeling, query optimization, and incremental loading.

- Experience with event-driven systems, messaging or task queues, and asynchronous failure recovery.

- Experience with data contracts, raw and curated storage, retention policies, automated validation, pipeline testing, and monitoring.

- Experience building platforms or substantial pipelines from scratch is valuable. Web scraping, entity resolution, LLM-based extraction, BigQuery, and Dataform experience are also useful.
