Build and integrate data-powered platform services
Design, build, and maintain backend services and APIs (primarily Python and Nest.js/Node.js) that integrate data directly into product workflows.
Develop shared libraries, SDKs, and developer-facing tooling used across engineering teams.
Implement event-driven systems and workflow orchestration using tools like Temporal and Dagster.
Build retrieval-augmented and LLM-integrated workflows that enhance product experiences through summarization, classification, validation, or agentic automation.
Partner with product engineering teams to embed data services seamlessly into user-facing products.
Own data & platform integration across systems
Integrate real-world transactional and operational data into software applications with reliability, quality, and performance in mind.
Collaborate with data engineers to define and evolve data models, schemas, and interfaces that support platform and product needs.
Improve upstream data quality and completeness by identifying issues, tracing root causes, and driving fixes.
Build tools, guards, and checks to ensure data powering software workflows is accurate and trustworthy.
Drive cross-functional engineering impact
Work with product managers, engineering leaders, analysts, and domain experts to translate ambiguous requirements into clear, actionable software solutions.
Fill product gaps by proposing workflows, APIs, or data-driven capabilities that aren’t explicitly defined but are necessary to deliver business value.
Act as a technical leader within mixed pods, guiding architecture discussions, influencing system design, and unblocking teammates as needed.
Participate in an on-call rotation for platform and data services.

Requirements

Strong software engineering experience (5 years)
Expertise in: TypeScript + Nest.js/Node.js
Python, especially for backend services, LLM workflows, and data integrations
Hands-on experience with: Postgres, Snowflake, S3, Kafka, AWS cloud services
Temporal and/or Dagster
Experience integrating LLM-generated outputs into applications and building retrieval-augmented workflows.
Experience designing APIs, services, and event-driven architectures that support data-rich applications.
Experience building shared libraries or SDKs consumed by multiple engineering teams.
Exposure to LLM evaluation strategies, prompt design, or agentic workflow patterns.
Familiarity with data modeling and schema design across OLTP and OLAP systems.
A track record of high ownership: driving complex problems end-to-end, improving systems proactively, and aligning stakeholders across engineering, analytics, and product.
Ability to work with messy, incomplete, or inconsistent production data and drive improvements to data quality.
Strong communication skills, including the ability to explain technical decisions and trade-offs to non-technical partners.
