Senior Data & Platform Engineer
We are looking for a Senior Data & Platform Engineer to architect and build the foundational infrastructure that powers our AI-native platform. This isn’t a standard "data mover" role, you will be designing the core backend systems, abstractions, and developer workflows that allow our product and AI systems to scale reliably.
You’ll be the engine room of the company, bridging the gap between core backend engineering and modern data infrastructure. If you think in terms of systems rather than just scripts, and you enjoy building "self-serve" platforms that empower other engineers, we want to hear from you.
- Vetted talent network
- Competitive packages
- Transparent process
Responsibilities
- Architect the Foundation
Design and implement core backend systems and integrations that serve as the backbone of our product
- Build the Data Platform
Own the orchestration, pipelines, and developer workflows. You aren't just running jobs; you’re building the platform that runs them
- Scale for Growth
Create high-performance systems for data ingestion, transformation, and access that remain stable under heavy load
- Master the Data Model
Design APIs and relational models with a focus on performance, sanity (schemas/indexes), and long-term scalability
- Own AI Infrastructure
Support our AI/ML initiatives by building and managing infrastructure for embeddings, vector data, and model pipelines
- Operational Excellence
Use Terraform and AWS to manage containers and cloud services, while improving observability and reliability across the entire stack
- Empower the Team
Build tooling for document processing and normalization to enable self-serve data workflows for product and engineering teams
Requirements
- Experience: 7+ years in Data Engineering, Platform Engineering, or Backend Infrastructure. You have a proven track record of shipping and owning production systems
- Systems Mindset: You think about performance, reliability, and failure modes. You don’t just build pipelines; you build platforms
- Technical Mastery: High proficiency in Golang, SQL, Terraform, and AWS
- Database Depth: Deep experience in data modeling and relational database design
- Startup DNA: You thrive in fast-moving, early-stage environments and are comfortable with the autonomy that comes with it
Nice to have
- Experience with LLMs, RAG, or Vector Search
- Background in Fintech or working within highly regulated industries
- Experience as an early hire at a high-growth startup
