About the role

  • Lead the design and evolution of our data platform and ETL/ELT
  • Own our orchestration layer: asset design, partitioning strategies, sensors/schedules, backfills/replays, retries, and operational best practices.
  • Own pipelines that ingest data from real customer systems (CSV/EDI/API/SFTP, PDFs/OCR).
  • Own data checks and monitoring (freshness, duplicates, drift, broken joins).
  • Define core data models and metric definitions with Product/Engineering/Ops.
  • Improve performance and cost in the warehouse.
  • Set engineering standards and mentor the engineers doing data work.
  • Help hire and grow the data engineering function over time.

Requirements

  • Expertise in data engineering / analytics engineering / data platform roles (or equivalent depth).
  • Proven experience designing and scaling data platforms and ETL/ELT systems in production.
  • Experience with unstructured ingestion (OCR pipelines, document parsing)
  • Excellent SQL and strong fundamentals in data modeling (facts/dims, grains, SCD patterns, avoiding double counts).
  • Real operational experience: idempotency, backfills, schema evolution, observability, and incident response for data.
  • Startup mindset: you can move fast, prioritize ruthlessly, and build leverage with limited resources.
Benefits
  • Mission-driven team building tech that helps local businesses thrive
  • Backed by top investors and advisors from Stripe, Uber, Palantir, and Toast
  • Real revenue, real growth, and a massive market opportunity
  • A chance to shape not just marketing—but the company's future
