What You'll Do :

  • Spearhead our data engineering efforts, building and scaling our infrastructure from the ground up
  • Lead, mentor, and grow a lean team of talented engineers
  • Get your hands dirty with coding, troubleshooting, and system design
  • Rapidly prototype and implement data solutions to meet evolving business needs
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, from marketing to product
  • Make critical technical decisions that will shape our company's future

What You'll Bring :

  • 7-10+ years of data engineering experience, Mastery of Python (Object-oriented & Functional Programming)
  • 5+ years of strong command of AWS services
  • Proficiency with Git, Docker, Kubernetes, and Jenkins
  • Shell scripting skills and familiarity with CI / CD processes
  • Experience building and optimizing data pipelines, architectures, and data sets

  • Strong communication skills and ability to explain complex concepts to non-technical stakeholders

Nice-to-Haves :

  • Experience in a high-growth startup environment
  • Background in marketing analytics or ad tech
  • Familiarity with machine learning workflows
  • Contributions to open-source projects

The X-Factor :

  • You have a bias for action and can balance speed with quality in a fast-paced environment
  • You're comfortable with ambiguity and excited about building something from scratch
  • Growth Mindset : you're a learn-it-all, not a know-it-all
  • Pragmatic : you deliver practical solutions that provide quick value

We offer the opportunity to make a significant impact in a rapidly growing company. If you're excited about rolling up your sleeves, wearing multiple hats, and shaping the future of data-driven marketing, we want to hear from you!

We're more interested in your skills and passion than formal qualifications. If you don't tick all the boxes but think you'd be great for this role, we encourage you to apply.
