We've powered the sale of over $6 billion of inventory from leading CPG brands like Unilever, Kraft Heinz, and Mondelez into hundreds of value channel retailers and wholesalers - recovering value for brands, reducing waste, and creating savings for consumers. We're building the marketplace infrastructure to transform CPG surplus into opportunity for retailers to meet consumer demand at scale, and infusing AI-native products into a segment of the CPG supply chain that is ripe for improvement.\nRole\nWe're hiring a Senior Data Engineer to build and own the data infrastructure that powers Spoiler Alert's next chapter. Our platform generates unique data across every supplier and buyer transaction, and how well we move, model, and make that data accessible determines our company’s ability to produce results for our industry. Decision intelligence, AI-powered pricing recommendations, demand matching, customer-facing analytics will all run on the foundation this role helps build.\nThis is a hands-on technical leadership role for someone who takes ownership of systems end-to-end and sets the bar for the team around them. You'll work at the intersection of data, product, and platform engineering, partnering closely with Data and Product teams to make our data reliable, accessible, and useful for internal decisions and for our customers.

You see the work through and communicate clearly along the way.\nAbility to collaborate cross functionally with data analysts, product engineers, and non-technical stakeholders, bringing clarity to ambiguity\nExperience differentiators: marketplace or transaction-platform data, applied AI/ML pipeline work, customer-facing analytics products, food and beverage or CPG domain knowledge, experience integrating LLM tooling into data workflows\nApplication Integrity & Fraud Prevention\nSpoiler Alert uses fraud detection tools in our applicant tracking system to protect candidates and our hiring process from fraudulent applications, such as impersonation, falsified identities, or automated submissions.
