The data infrastructure behind this experience needs to be as seamless as the user-facing product. As a Senior Data Engineer, you will own the design and operation of the data pipelines, warehouses, and transformation workflows that power analytics, reporting, and machine learning use cases across the platform – working closely with a skilled, close-knit team and an active US-based client.
