- Collaborate with Product, Data Science, Operations, and Integrations teams to refine data models and onboarding processes
- Continuously improve data models, infrastructure, and internal tools
- Stay current on fintech data architecture trends and emerging technologies to guide ongoing platform evolution
What We're Looking For

- Advanced SQL and database design skills
- Experience with cloud environments and distributed systems
- Experience with financial/transaction data pipelines or interest in learning deeply
- Familiarity with Snowflake or similar data warehouse tools (preferred)
- Bias for action and comfort working with ambiguity
- Ability to thrive in a fast-moving, collaborative, mission-driven team
- Clear communicator who brings clarity, not complexity
- Scrappy, resilient, and energized by building things that work in the real world at scale
- Preference for candidates located in New York or Boston
- Must be authorized to work for any employer in the U.S. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment visa at this time.
