Job Description
Senior Data Engineer
murmuration
• Own data pipelines and infrastructure: Design, implement, and evolve scalable, production-grade systems using tools such as Dagster, Airflow, Snowflake, AWS, MongoDB, and dbt. Apply a cloud-native and DevOps mindset using CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, monitoring, and automated testing to build reliable systems. Partner with cross-functional teams to deliver solutions that meet both immediate product needs and long-term organizational strategy. • Lead data ingestion and integration: Bring in complex, high-volume datasets while ensuring strong data contracts, freshness, quality, integrity, and lineage, and build systems that empower domain experts to contribute to and maintain their own data pipelines. • Transform raw data into trusted data products: Convert raw inputs into structured, usable datasets that empower our analytical and product teams. Collaborate closely with operational data managers to ensure data models and intuitive, reliable alignment with how data is consumed in practice. • Leverage AI: Make informed judgement calls about how AI can be a force-multiplier for both your own work and the team’s and how it can’t. • Elevate the team: Mentor engineers, actively shape technical direction through architectural reviews and roadmap planning, and build team culture through documentation and knowledge sharing.
