About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

The platform adapters that target each design partner's stack (Databricks, Snowflake, BigQuery, AWS), and the abstraction that emerges once a second stack forces it.
The domain side of the evaluation and verification layer: encoding each platform's idioms and correctness rules so generated output can be trusted.
The high-value generation targets with partners: ingestion and pipelines, transformation logic, warehouse and catalog scaffolding, orchestration, IaC and CI/CD, and the governance accelerators where partner pain is real (contracts, lineage, metadata, PII, data quality).
The fit into real delivery: reviewable diffs, integration with partner workflows, the path to adoption.

Requirements

What you’ll need

🌿 **We're Looking for Someone Who...**
- **Has Senior-Level Impact:** You bring a minimum of 5 years as a data engineer with a track record of end-to-end delivery in fast-paced environments.
- **Values Collaboration:** You have professional fluency in English , are an excellent collaborator between developers and leadership, and have the ability to guide others.
- **Embraces Engineering Best Practices:** You have a solid understanding of engineering and architectural principles , and you are comfortable collaborating on CI/CD workflows and using version control (Git)
🛠 **Your Technical Toolkit:**

- **Code-as-data fluency:** codegen, templating, validating and parsing generated code, producing reviewable output.
- You work close to delivery teams and design partners, and you care that the thing gets used.
