You will also contribute to developer-facing data tools and establish engineering practices that promote clean, well-structured data.

Working within a globally distributed, fully remote environment, you will have significant ownership and autonomy over your work.

This is an opportunity to make a direct impact on data infrastructure while working with modern technologies across cloud, streaming, transformation, and analytics.

Accountabilities:

As a Senior Data Warehouse Engineer, you will own key aspects of the data warehouse and pipeline ecosystem, ensuring scalable infrastructure, reliable data flows, and effective collaboration with teams that depend on high-quality data.

• Architect, build, and maintain scalable, high-performance data warehouse solutions that support analytics and operational needs.
• Develop reliable and well-documented data pipelines and ELT processes while maintaining strong standards for data quality and consistency.
• Design and implement efficient data models and transformations using tools such as dbt and SQL.
• Continuously optimize data warehouse performance through query optimization, partitioning, indexing, and other performance-tuning techniques.
• Monitor, troubleshoot, and improve warehouse infrastructure while balancing performance, reliability, and cost efficiency.
• Partner with data analysts and data scientists to transform raw data into actionable insights and support machine learning initiatives.
• Work with modern cloud-based data warehouse technologies, including ClickHouse and other columnar data platforms.
• Integrate data warehouse capabilities seamlessly with application and service infrastructure.
• Contribute to the development of developer-facing data tools that make data more accessible and useful across engineering teams.
• Establish and promote best practices for data engineering, data quality, documentation, testing, and maintainability.
• Apply software engineering principles such as version control, code reviews, testing, and automation to data infrastructure.
• Support data-driven decision-making by ensuring teams have access to clean, reliable, and well-structured information.
• Collaborate effectively across a globally distributed organization and contribute to a strong engineering culture.

Requirements:

The ideal candidate is an experienced data engineer who combines strong technical depth in data warehousing and cloud infrastructure with a collaborative, autonomous approach to solving complex problems.

• Extensive experience designing, implementing, and optimizing data warehouses in cloud environments such as AWS or GCP.
• Strong hands-on expertise with data modeling and transformation tools, particularly dbt.
• Excellent SQL skills and experience working with modern columnar data warehouses such as ClickHouse, Databricks, BigQuery, or Snowflake.
• Experience with data pipeline orchestration platforms such as Prefect or Airflow.
• Strong understanding of scalable data pipelines, ELT processes, data quality, and warehouse performance optimization.
• Experience with modern software engineering practices, including version control, code reviews, testing, and automation.
• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure and DevOps practices.
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform is a plus.
• Scripting or automation experience with Bash, Python, or Go is a plus.
• Familiarity with business intelligence and visualization tools such as Apache Superset, Sigma, Tableau, or Looker is a plus.
• Ability to work independently, take ownership, and make effective decisions in ambiguous environments.
• Strong collaboration skills and the ability to work effectively with data scientists, analysts, and software engineers.
• Excellent English communication skills for working within a globally distributed team.
• Strong problem-solving mindset and enthusiasm for building scalable, efficient, and maintainable data systems.
• Experience with technologies such as ClickHouse, Redshift, Confluent Kafka, dbt, Prefect, AWS, Terraform, Apache Superset, or Sigma is valuable.
• Must be authorized to work from the location where you reside; visa sponsorship is not available for this position.
• Due to regulatory and security requirements, employment may not be available in certain countries.

Benefits:

• US-based cash compensation of $152,000-$205,000.
• Compensation ranges are benchmarked according to role, level, function, and geographic location.
• Fully remote work within the United States.
• Opportunity to work within a globally distributed, 100% remote organization.
• High level of ownership and autonomy in shaping critical data infrastructure.
• Opportunity to work with modern data warehouse, cloud, streaming, orchestration, and infrastructure technologies.
• Cross-functional collaboration with data scientists, analysts, and software engineers.
• Opportunity to contribute to developer-facing tools and data engineering best practices.
• Inclusive and collaborative working environment that values diverse experiences, perspectives, and backgrounds.
• Professional growth through exposure to large-scale data infrastructure and complex engineering challenges.
• Salary offers may vary based on relevant experience, education, certifications, skills, training, and market conditions.
