Position Summary

We’re hiring a Senior Data Engineer to own data at truly massive scale. You’ll design and run pipelines that clean, enrich, and serve data spanning hundreds of attributes across 80M+ companies and 800M+ people. The role blends classic data engineering with data operations, vendor/BPO orchestration, and data partnerships.

• Cost & performance: You tune storage/compute and keep a sharp eye on unit economics.
• Opinionated: Deep level of understanding of the technological landscape, making both high level system and granular code design decisions based on understanding rather than preference - diving deep on unknown patterns in order to build the best product.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end data flows: ingestion, normalization, entity resolution, enrichment, and delivery.
• Stand up monitoring for freshness, completeness, and accuracy; drive RCA and prevention.
• Build internal tools that make data discoverable and usable by engineering and product.
• Recruit, onboard, and manage BPO vendors; negotiate and run data partnerships.

• Benefits:
• Generous health, dental, and vision insurance
