Data Engineer

Clear Capital is building the future of real estate data. Our goal is knowing more about a property than anybody else and in the process, making home ownership valuations more fair and equitable for millions of people.

Every project our data team works on ships as a product or directly supports one that does. We are not a reporting team, our work moves Clear Capital's revenue.

As a Data Engineer, you will design, build, and operate the data pipelines and platforms behind our data & analytics products. You will work closely with the entire engineering organization to turn large, messy, multi-source datasets into reliable, product-ready data.

You will also be a force multiplier for your team. You will raise the technical bar through design reviews, mentorship, and clear documentation, and you will anticipate what others need before they ask.

What You Will Work On

• Design, build, and maintain ELT pipelines that ingest data from APIs, object stores, databases, and streaming or queue-based sources.
• Build scalable data models and transformations that serve analytics, machine learning, and operational use cases.
• Own and improve existing production data pipelines, including modernizing legacy workflows.
• Standardize and match data across sources, including entity resolution and address normalization.
• Build and maintain data quality checks, monitoring, and alerting so issues are caught early.
• Partner with ML, BI, and data operations teams to understand their needs and deliver the data they rely on.
• Champion engineering best practices: code review, testing, documentation, and version

Who We Are Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in a technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 3-5+ years of overall experience in software or data engineering.
• 3+ years of professional Python development.
• Strong understanding of data modeling, data lake architecture, and master data management concepts.
• Familiarity with ELT standards and best practices.
• Hands-on experience with AWS services such as IAM, S3, Glue, RDS or Aurora, EKS, SQS, DynamoDB, and Lambda.
• Experience with workflow orchestration (e.g., Airflow) and SQL-based transformation (e.g., dbt).
• Experience with containerization and orchestration (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
• Proficiency with Git and collaborative development on a shared codebase.
• Comfortable with the command line.

Preferred

• Experience with open table formats such as Apache Iceberg.
• Experience working with MLS, real estate, property, or other large public-record datasets.
• Experience building platforms or internal tools that other engineers use.
• Experience with data lake or lakehouse architectures at scale.

Why Join Us

• Your work ships to customers and directly drives revenue. It is not BI or internal reporting.
• Work on data that affects how people value and finance their homes.
• Partner closely with product management on a roadmap that you help shape.
• Shape the architecture and standards for a growing data platform.
