This role owns data products end to end: onboarding a new source, orchestrating it, modeling it, and delivering something a business team can act on.

You’ll need strong SQL and hands-on Python coding experience, along with solid working knowledge of Snowflake, dbt Cloud, and an orchestrator like Dagster or Airflow. We work in an AI-assisted environment and expect this role to use AI coding tools daily, without lowering the bar on correctness or governance.

• Onboard new sources end to end: vendor REST APIs, SFTP and S3 file drops, on-prem file shares
• Handle pagination, rate limits, retries, and incremental extracts
• Design connection auth: key-pair, token rotation, environment-variable contracts
• Actively work with vendors and source owners on access, file cadence, and schema changes

• Document how the team should use these tools, and what not to hand them

• Git and code review, mentoring junior engineers, and following our dependency and data governance policies

• Expert SQL and deep…
