What You'll Do - Design, build, and own automation across core IT systems to reduce manual work and improve reliability. - Develop API-driven integrations and workflows across systems like Okta, Google Workspace, Slack, and other SaaS tools. - Build and scale identity lifecycle automation (joiner, mover, leaver) with a strong focus on security and efficiency. - Act as an escalation point for complex technical issues, debugging across systems, integrations, and environments. - Identify recurring issues and eliminate root causes through automation and system design improvements. - Partner cross-functionally with IT, Security, and business teams to design scalable solutions and improve core systems. - Establish technical standards, operational rigor, and engineering best practices across the IT organization, and mentor team members on automation, infrastructure-as-code, integrations, and scalable systems design. Qualifications - 8+ years of experience in IT, systems engineering, or a related role with a strong automation-first mindset. - Comfortable building and maintaining automation using scripting or coding languages such as Python, TypeScript, or similar, with familiarity working in Git-based development workflows. - Experience building API-based integrations (REST APIs, webhooks, and event-driven workflows) across SaaS tools. - Hands-on experience with IAM platforms (Okta or similar) and automation tools (Okta Workflows, Tines, etc.). - Strong experience administering SaaS environments (Google Workspace, Slack, Zoom) and debugging complex, cross-system issues. - Solid foundation in networking, security, and infrastructure-as-code (e.g. Terraform), with a bias toward systems built and managed through code. - Fluency with LLM APIs, prompt engineering, and AI-assisted development tools; demonstrated experience building or evaluating AI-powered systems in production. Requirements - Compensation: The base salary for this role typically ranges between $190,000 – $230,000 depending on experience, skills, seniority, and business needs. - This role may be eligible for equity as part of the total compensation package.

If you are energized by performance optimization, dimensional modeling, and infrastructure that lasts — this role was built for you. Responsibilities - Design and implement the Unity Catalog structure — Catalogs, Schemas, and Volumes — to create a governed, secure, and well-documented data environment that serves as a Single Source of Truth across the organization. - Lead the migration of complex business logic from legacy systems into a unified Databricks Lakehouse, refactoring tightly coupled SQL into modular, maintainable, and performant code. - Architect our internal transformation framework using open-source tooling (Delta Live Tables or custom Python/SQL Spark pipelines), building scalable pipelines without reliance on managed SaaS platforms. - Serve as the resident query performance expert — analyze Spark execution plans and Spark UI to diagnose bottlenecks, reduce data skew, and optimize join strategies on large-scale datasets. - Govern our Databricks compute footprint through strategic application of Z-Ordering, Liquid Clustering, partition design, and Serverless SQL Warehouse configurations to maximize performance per dollar. - Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions or equivalent) to automate testing, validation, and deployment of data models. - Architect the semantic layer in Omni — designing data models built for self-service reporting with sub-second dashboard latency. - Occasionally take on the BI Developer role, building executive-level dashboards that surface clear, actionable narratives from complex datasets. - Partner with cross-functional stakeholders across Finance, Sales, Product, Marketing, and Trust & Safety to translate business questions into scalable data solutions. - Translate performance and cost metrics into clear recommendations for senior leadership, balancing engineering rigor with business impact. Qualifications - 8+ years in Data Engineering or Data Architecture, with deep, hands-on experience in the Databricks ecosystem (Unity Catalog, Delta Lake, SQL Warehouses). - Expert-level SQL and distributed computing skills — you can diagnose exactly why a query is slow and implement the fix across Spark execution plans, joins, and data skew scenarios. - Demonstrated experience in query optimization and data platform migration, including refactoring legacy SQL and migrating from systems such as Snowflake, Redshift, or SQL Server into a Lakehouse architecture. - Proven experience building data transformation workflows using Delta Live Tables or custom Python/SQL Spark pipelines. - Strong command of dimensional modeling (Star and Snowflake schemas) and how to apply these patterns within a Lakehouse environment. - Hands-on Unity Catalog experience, including permissions management, data lineage, and catalog governance. - Fluency with Delta Lake internals — OPTIMIZE, Z-Order, Liquid Clustering, VACUUM, and file management strategies. - Hands-on experience with Omni or a comparable modern BI semantic layer (Looker, Metabase, Superset) — you can build and govern a semantic model, not just consume one. - Experience with CI/CD pipelines and version control workflows (Git / GitHub Actions or similar). Requirements - You think in systems, not just queries — you design for reuse, performance, and longevity. - You are comfortable navigating ambiguity and can move from whiteboard to working pipeline without waiting for perfect specifications. - You can distill complex technical trade-offs into language that lands with non-technical senior stakeholders. - You are self-directed and ownership-driven — you treat the data platform as your own product. - You can balance the competing needs of different departments while maintaining a unified data standard. Nice to Have - Experience with dbt Core (OSS) or a similar SQL-based transformation framework; familiarity with transformation layer best practices is a strong asset. - Familiarity with Databricks Genie Spaces or AI/BI features for natural language querying. - Experience supporting embedded analytics or multi-tenant reporting environments. - Background in the digital insights, market research, or programmatic technology space.
