About the Role
At Promise, we rely on data for every decision we make – from product and engineering to operations, finance, and everything in between.
As our newest Data Engineer, you’ll build and scale the systems that power data-driven decisions across the company. You’ll work directly with a variety of stakeholders in the business – such as product, engineering, customer success, and finance – to design reliable and understandable data architectures, ship resilient pipelines, and create the foundational data products that drive our strategy and product.
What You'll Do
- Own data architecture end-to-end. Every new project we build is slightly different – how do we capture, model, and serve critical business data so it’s both flexible and straightforward.
- Automate operational workflows. Partner with business systems and platform teams to eliminate manual data handoffs and ensure every teammate has access to the data they need, where they need it.
- Enforce data quality at scale. Build tests, monitoring, and reconciliation systems that make datasets observable and anomalies actionable.
- Design and maintain scalable data models, decision tools, and analytics infrastructure to empower self-serve analytics and derive insight.
- Enable insights and experimentation. Support analytics, ML, and product engineering teams by exposing high-quality, comprehensible data through semantic layers, APIs, and real-time query systems.
What Will Help You Succeed
- The data team at Promise is a team of builders. We identify problems both internal and external, then implement end-to-end data solutions.
- Have 5+ years of experience as a data or software engineer building data warehouses, pipelines, and distributed data systems.
- Can draw on a variety of modeling techniques to drive sustainable data solutions.
- Have deep hands-on expertise with a modern data stack, from ingestion to transformation (dbt, etc.), orchestration (Airflow, etc.), observability, and BI (Looker, Metabase, tc.).
- Have operated cloud data warehouses such as Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift, including schema design, security and permissioning, and data governance.
- Are comfortable writing production-grade code in Python or SQL languages, and integrating with CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code workflows.
- Enjoy partnering across disciplines—engineering, product, analytics—to translate messy business requirements into elegant data systems.
- Thrive as a self-starter in a fast-moving environment, owning both the technical design and the operational outcomes of your work.
