Responsibilities:

Within Data Infra, you may be matched to critical business areas including: 

  • Data Governance & Access Control: Design and implement robust access control systems ensuring only authorized users can access sensitive data. Build infrastructure for permission management, audit logging, and compliance requirements. Work on IAM policies, ACLs, and security controls that scale across thousands of users and systems.
  • Financial Data Infrastructure: Build and maintain data pipelines and warehouses powering business-critical reporting. Ensure data integrity, accuracy, and availability for complex financial systems, including third party revenue ingestion pipelines; manage the external relationships as needed to drive upstream dependencies. Own the reliability of systems processing revenue, usage, and business metrics.
  • Cloud Storage & Reliability: Architect disaster recovery, backup, and replication systems for petabyte-scale data. Ensure high availability and durability of data stored in cloud object storage (GCS, S3). Build systems that protect against data loss and enable rapid recovery.
  • Data Platform & Tooling: Scale data processing infrastructure using technologies like BigQuery, BigTable, Airflow, dbt, and Spark. Optimize query performance, manage costs, and enable self-service analytics across the organization.

You might be a good fit if you:

  • Have 6+ years (not including internships or co-ops) of experience in a Software Engineer role, building data infrastructure, storage systems, or related distributed systems
  • Have 1+ years (not including internships or co-ops) of experience leading large scale, complex projects or teams
  • Have deep experience with at least one of:
  • Strong proficiency in programming languages like Python, Go, Java, or similar
  • Experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Pulumi) and cloud platforms (GCP, AWS)
  • Can navigate complex technical tradeoffs between performance, cost, security, and maintainability
  • Have excellent collaboration skills - you work well with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Are comfortable with ambiguity and can independently scope and drive large projects

Strong candidates may also have:

  • Experience with security and compliance requirements (ITGC, GDPR, financial controls)
  • Background in data warehousing, ETL/ELT pipelines, or analytics infrastructure
  • Experience with Kubernetes, containerization, and cloud-native architectures
  • Track record of improving data reliability, availability, or cost efficiency at scale
  • Knowledge of column-oriented databases, OLAP systems, or big data processing frameworks
  • Experience working in fintech, financial services, or highly regulated environments
  • Security engineering background with focus on data protection and access controls

Technologies We Use:

  • Data: BigQuery, BigTable, Airflow, Cloud Composer, dbt, Spark, Segment, Fivetran
  • Storage: GCS, S3
  • Infrastructure: Terraform, Kubernetes, GCP, AWS
  • Languages: Python, Go, SQL

Deadline to apply: None. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.

The annual compensation range for this role is listed below. 

For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role.

Annual Salary:

$320,000 - $320,000 USD

Logistics

Education requirements: We require at least a Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent experience.

Location-based hybrid policy:
 Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. However, some roles may require more time in our offices.

Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. But if we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.

We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification. Not all strong candidates will meet every single qualification as listed.  Research shows that people who identify as being from underrepresented groups are more prone to experiencing imposter syndrome and doubting the strength of their candidacy, so we urge you not to exclude yourself prematurely and to submit an application if you're interested in this work. We think AI systems like the ones we're building have enormous social and ethical implications. We think this makes representation even more important, and we strive to include a range of diverse perspectives on our team.
