Software Engineer - Integrations & Data Workflows

About Deako

Deako is redefining smart lighting with simple, builder-friendly solutions that delight homeowners and scale seamlessly across residential construction. Our platform is trusted by leading builders, integrators, and electricians, and we’re rapidly expanding into new markets

About the Role

We're looking for a hands-on Software Engineer who thrives on connecting systems and making data flow seamlessly across platforms. This isn't a role for someone who just writes specs and hands them off—you'll be building, deploying, and maintaining the integrations that keep our business running.
What You'll Do

• Design and build custom integrations between ecommerce platforms, payment systems, inventory management, and internal tools
• Create data workflows that power business reporting and operational dashboards
• Build and maintain APIs and middleware that connect disparate systems
• Write complex SQL queries and optimize database performance
• Troubleshoot data sync issues and maintain data integrity across platforms
• Work directly with stakeholders to understand business needs and translate them into technical solutions
• Own the full lifecycle of integrations from conception to deployment to monitoring

Must Haves

• 7+ years of software engineering experience
• Very strong SQL and database experience (4+ years) - you should be comfortable writing complex queries, optimizing performance, and database design
• Software development skills in Python or JavaScript (4+ years) - you'll be writing production code regularly
• Strong analytical skills - ability to dig into data, identify patterns, and solve complex problems
• 3+ years building data reporting solutions - dashboards, business intelligence, or analytics tools
• Authorized to work in the US without sponsorship (we are unable to sponsor H1B or other work visas)

Nice to Have

• Ecommerce platform experience (Shopify, Amazon Seller Central, etc.)
• Experience with data integration tools like Zapier, Fivetran, Hightouch, Airflow, or similar platforms
• Experience with modern data stacks and cloud databases
