Data Engineer San Francisco, Onsite

About The Role

As Lindy's Data Engineer, you'll work closely with senior leadership (Lindy's CEO, GTM leads, and Head of Engineering) to uncover critical business insights from many sources of in-the-wild data (product analytics, BI/revenue information, customer reports, large volumes of unstructured data, and more).

You'll be responsible for the end-to-end lifecycle of data, working closely with product and engineering to define key analytics metrics, combining that data into actionable insights, and communicating and disseminating those insights to leadership and across the company.

You'll also be in the driver's seat of our data infrastructure, iterating on Lindy's ETL pipelines, transformed tables, and other fundamental data engineering infrastructure.

You'll own how Lindy turns raw data into something the whole company can use. A lot of our most valuable information is unstructured text in MongoDB and finance data that comes in messy, and you'll shape it into clean, reliable tables teams across the company depend on.

At Lindy, you can expect an environment with little process and high empowerment, paired with high expectations and a strong sense of urgency.
