Full-Cycle Data Engineer

We're looking for a Full-Cycle Data Engineer to join our Data & AI team and own the flow from product data sources → modeling → dashboards → insights. You'll partner with product managers, engineers, and AI teams to turn raw product data into reliable analytics infrastructure that drives decisions across the company — from individual feature bets to CEO- and CFO-level questions.

This is an end-to-end role: you'll take data products from ideation through engineering, analytics, and production deployment.

• Design, build, and deploy scalable data pipelines from product and system sources in production, using Python and orchestrators like Airflow.

• Work with distributed query engines such as BigQuery or Athena, with strong SQL throughout.

• Build and maintain semantic data models for large-scale operational systems and data lakes, manually or with tooling like dbt.

• Improve the end-to-end analytics stack, from ingestion to visualization, and collaborate with engineering on event tracking and instrumentation.

• Ensure data quality, consistency, and reliability across the stack.

• Build and maintain dashboards and reporting layers in tools like Looker or Metabase, optimized for performance, usability, and clarity

• Create self-serve analytics so product and business stakeholders can answer their own questions

• Support product experimentation: A/B testing, funnel analysis, feature adoption

Partnership & insight

• Translate ambiguous questions from product leads, the CEO, the CFO, and others into clear metrics, KPIs, and analytical models

• Surface trends in usage and user behavior that influence the product roadmap and feature prioritization

• Provide ad-hoc analysis and strategic reporting for leadership

• 5+ years in data engineering, data analytics, or product analytics

• Strong SQL and hands-on experience with large-scale datasets in cloud data warehouses (BigQuery or similar)

• Production Python experience for data pipelines

• Solid grounding in product metrics, funnels, and user behavior analysis

• Ability to turn business questions into data models, metrics, and dashboards

• Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills

• Streaming or event-driven data systems

• Product instrumentation and tracking design

• AI/ML or LLM experience

• High-scale SaaS or consumer product environments
