Job Description & How to Apply Below
Job Description:
- Design and ship the data normalization, schema mapping, validation, enrichment, and distribution pipeline for a net-new intelligent data warehouse
- Write production code as a hands‑on individual contributor - this is not a role that delegates implementation to others
- Take technical ownership from architecture through deployment, with accountability for reliability, performance, and correctness
- Partner with a small seed team to define the end‑to‑end architecture for an AI‑native data warehouse serving institutional financial clients
- Bring opinionated decisions on schema design, normalization strategies, API exposure patterns, and data distribution approaches
- Evaluate and select technologies with a bias toward what ships well and scales sustainably
- Design and implement the evaluation framework that makes AI‑generated outputs trustworthy in high‑stakes financial data contexts
- Build cross-model comparison tooling, deterministic validation checks, and human‑in‑the‑loop review workflows
- Contribute to shared AI evaluation infrastructure that can serve as a foundation across multiple products
- Use agentic coding tools and LLM‑assisted development as your primary workflow - this is how the entire team operates
- Bring strong opinions about how to get the most from AI‑assisted development while maintaining quality and reliability
- Set coding standards, review practices, and architectural documentation that will scale as the team grows
- Help define what "good" looks like for a team building at speed without sacrificing quality
- Mentor engineers and provide technical guidance as the team expands
- 7+ years of software engineering experience, with demonstrated Staff‑level technical scope and impact
- A portfolio of shipped production systems - we will ask you to walk through specific technical decisions you personally made and code you personally wrote; this is not a role for someone whose primary contribution has been directing others
- Strong hands‑on experience with data pipeline or data warehouse engineering: schema design, ETL/ELT patterns, normalization, and API‑based data distribution
- Production experience building with LLMs: prompt design, model orchestration, evaluation, and output validation in real systems, not just experimentation
- Fluency with AI‑assisted and agentic development workflows; you use these tools daily and have strong opinions about how to use them effectively
- Experience with AWS data infrastructure;
Redshift experience a plus - Strong written communication —- able to translate technical design into clear documentation for both engineering and product audiences
- Ability to critically evaluate AI‑generated code and outputs, including identifying failure modes, regressions, and edge cases.
- Health, dental, and vision care for you and your family
- Life insurance
- Mental wellness coverage
- Fertility and growing family support
- Flex Time Off in addition to company‑paid holidays
- Paid family leave, medical leave, and bereavement leave policies
- Retirement saving plans
