You

As our Data Engineer, you will be the architect and steward of Seed's data infrastructure. You have a deep passion for building reliable, scalable data systems that empower teams to make data-driven decisions. You will own our data pipelines, warehouse infrastructure, and custom integrations—ensuring data quality, accessibility, and performance across the organization.

This role requires both strategic vision and hands-on execution. You're as comfortable architecting data warehouse schemas as you are debugging a failed Fivetran sync at 9am. You bring both systems-level thinking and meticulous attention to data quality in everything you build.

• 4+ years of professional data engineering experience
• Expert-level knowledge of modern data stack (Snowflake, dbt, Fivetran, Airflow)
• Experience building custom ETL/ELT pipelines and API integrations
• Proven ability to design data warehouse architectures and optimize query performance
• Deep knowledge of SQL, Python, and data modeling best practices
• Strong collaboration and communication skills across technical and non-technical teams

Own the Data Infrastructure

• Build and maintain production-ready data pipelines that power business intelligence, experimentation, and scientific discovery
• Manage and optimize our Snowflake data warehouse—monitoring performance, costs, and query efficiency
• Make technical architectural decisions about data modeling, warehouse design, and pipeline orchestration
• Drive reliability and observability across the data stack through monitoring, alerting, and documentation
• Partner with Analytics and Reporting team to ensure the infrastructure serves both technical and business needs
  
  
  

Champion Data Quality & Reliability

• Act as the engineering checkpoint for data integrity, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and timeliness
• Implement robust data quality testing, validation, and monitoring frameworks
• Design and maintain data governance policies, access controls, and security standards
• Troubleshoot and resolve data pipeline failures with urgency and precision
  
  
  

Lead Custom Integration Development

• Build custom ETL/ELT solutions for data sources not supported by out-of-the-box connectors
• Design API integrations with third-party platforms (Amazon Seller Central, advertising platforms, etc.)
• Develop scalable, maintainable code with comprehensive error handling and logging
• Deploy and orchestrate jobs using Heroku, Airflow, or similar scheduling tools
• Monitor production systems and respond to failures proactively
  
  
  

Bridge Data & Business

• Translate stakeholder data requirements into technical solutions
• Collaborate with Analytics, Product, and Marketing teams on feasibility and technical guidance
• Participate in data architecture discussions with Engineering leadership
