You will own our data infrastructure fully from ideation through delivery, including scoping, building, and documenting methodologies, to ensure repeatability and clarity.
What You'll Do:
- Design, build and maintain scalable data pipelines and models using SQL, dbt, and cloud warehouses, owning the entire data engineering function.

- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define requirements, data contracts, and translate business goals into scalable solutions.
- Balance urgent needs with long-term infrastructure goals while diagnosing and resolving production issues at scale.
- 5+ years in data engineering with experience building data infrastructure from early stages and making architectural decisions.
- Strong judgment and autonomy - comfortable with ambiguity, can prioritize effectively, explain trade-offs to executives, and balance speed with quality.
- Strong hands-on experience with ETL/ELT pipelines, data warehousing (Snowflake preferred), orchestration tools (Airflow), and dbt.
- Advanced SQL skills for complex queries on large datasets, with understanding of performance and cost trade-offs.
- Experience with data quality, governance, and leading technical discussions across teams of varying expertise.
- Proficiency with GitHub, Python, and data visualization tools; bonus points for ML feature engineering or AI agents experience.
- Mission-Driven Company: We love cats and we're here to make nine lives ten.
- People-Driven Company: We treat our people like people; we're committed to Smalls, and we work hard but also respect everyone’s lives outside of work.
- Data-Driven Culture: We love using data to guide decision-making where appropriate, but we also know when to move quickly and go with our gut.
- Competitive Salary: Make some $$$.
- Very Competitive Benefits: Fully paid Health, Vision, and Dental insurance. 4-day work week. Unlimited PTO.
- Fully Remote Office & Culture: Our team is spread across the US day to day, but we travel for department & company off-sites and retreats.
- Free Product: Free cat food every month.
