Job Description

This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for a Remote Data Engineer. In this role, you will be instrumental in developing and maintaining the data infrastructure that fuels AI-driven decision-making for various applications. You will design and implement pipelines for large datasets, ensuring data integrity and quality while supporting cross-functional teams. The position offers significant growth opportunities and a chance to be part of an innovative team that thrives on speed and impact. Join us to build scalable solutions that empower businesses worldwide.

Accountabilities

  • Design, build, and maintain robust data pipelines for ingesting, cleaning, and transforming structured and semi-structured data.
  • Own and scale ETL/ELT processes using tools like dbt, BigQuery, and Python.
  • Build modular data models that power analytics, product features, and LLM agents.
  • Integrate with external data providers and internal sources to create unified, enriched datasets.
  • Collaborate across AI, product, and engineering to define data contracts and optimize pipelines for downstream use.
  • Monitor pipeline performance, implement observability tools, and ensure data quality and integrity.
  • Operate within fast-paced weekly sprints, delivering real value to end users quickly and iteratively.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience as a data engineer, working on ETL/ELT and large-scale data systems.
  • Strong experience with SQL, BigQuery, dbt, and Python.
  • Deep understanding of data modeling, warehousing, and transformation best practices.
  • Experience building data infrastructure from scratch in cloud-native environments (GCP, AWS, etc.).
  • Familiarity with modern orchestration tools (Airflow, Dagster, Prefect, etc.).
  • Strong collaboration skills — you can align stakeholders across product, AI, and engineering.
  • Clear communicator and fast problem solver — especially in ambiguous, fast-moving settings.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary with metrics-based bonus and equity.
  • Unlimited holiday policy.
  • Work with a small, high-performance team.
  • Access to cutting-edge tools and technologies.
  • Opportunity to shape foundational systems for AI-native business tools.
  • Flexible work arrangements focused on results.
