Jump is seeking a Senior Data Engineer to join our nimble Data team, where you'll help build and evolve the data platform that powers the company. You'll own the reliability and performance of our Snowflake and dbt-powered stack, building the pipelines and models that make data trustworthy and usable across Jump - from internal dashboards to client-facing products.
