We're hiring a Senior Software Data Engineer to join as a founding member of a 5-person team to manage and expand our ingestion pipeline. This is one of the most technically significant programs underway at the company — it will reshape how data is ingested, transformed, validated, and served across the organization.

What you’ll do:

Maintain and evolve Python microservices
Lead technical design and execution across one or more migration phases, owning the delivery end-to-end
Collaborate with the data infrastructure team to operate with Databricks
Collaborate on the data migration from Snowflake to Delta Lake
Define validation strategy for the reconciliation suite — row counts, checksums, business metrics — across both platforms during parallel run
Set the technical bar through code reviews, architecture reviews, and engineering standards
Drive the parallel run and cutover process: shadow mode → read cutover → write cutover → Snowflake decommission
Mentor and support 2–3 engineers on the migration team through pairing, reviews, and design sessions
Partner with your manager to co-own sprint planning, backlog grooming, and stakeholder communication for the migration program
Shadow and participate in hiring for the remaining engineers on the team: resume review, technical interviews, debrief
Act as the primary technical point of contact for cross-functional stakeholders (Data, Product, Platform)
Contribute to incident management and on-call processes

What we’re looking for:

5+ years of professional software engineering experience with strong Python, SQL, and distributed systems expertise
Hands-on experience with Databricks — Unity Catalog, Delta Lake, Auto Loader, DLT, or Databricks SQL Warehouses
Experience leading or owning complex data migrations or re-platforming projects
Strong understanding of Delta Lake: ACID transactions, MERGE INTO, schema evolution, Change Data Feed
Experience with Apache Spark / PySpark for large-scale ETL
Proven ability to mentor engineers and elevate team technical quality
Strong communication skills — able to represent technical tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders
Genuine interest in growing into people management

Nice to have:

Solid dbt experience — model development, incremental strategies, data testing; dbt-databricks adapter is a strong plus
Prior experience with project or technical lead responsibilities, coordinating across multiple engineers
