Data Platform Engineer


Step into a high-impact Data Platform Engineer opportunity with a confidential client, where you will help drive meaningful results across Banking / Lending/ Financial Services. This role offers the chance to make a visible contribution in San Francisco, California, USA while supporting ambitious technical and operational goals.

Your Key Responsibilities
• Lead core execution for the Data Platform Engineer role across day to day priorities, technical problem solving, and cross functional coordination.
• Drive high quality outcomes for projects based in San Francisco, California, USA while maintaining strong operational discipline.
• Partner with internal stakeholders, vendors, and production teams to move work from planning into successful delivery.
• Improve process stability, quality, and throughput through disciplined analysis and practical execution.
• Support issue resolution, technical decision making, and continuous improvement activity across the function.
• Document results clearly and communicate progress, risks, and recommendations to the broader team.
• Contribute hands-on expertise in support of schedule, quality, and business objectives.



What You Bring to the Role

What matters most is that you've actually built and shipped data systems end to end, not just written specs or maintained someone else's work. You should be comfortable in Python and SQL, have real experience standing up ingestion pipelines from multiple data sources, and know your way around relational databases like PostgreSQL.


You need to be someone who communicates well with non engineers. You'll be working directly with data scientists, researchers, and product managers, so if you prefer to stay heads down in a terminal with no cross functional interaction, this isn't the right fit.


Nice to haves that will put you ahead: cloud infrastructure chops (AWS, S3), familiarity with streaming or messaging tools like Kafka or gRPC, experience with container orchestration (Kubernetes), and any exposure to distributed computing frameworks like Ray. Bonus points if you've done this kind of work in or around financial services, quant research, or trading.



What's In It For You


top tier compensation and benefits, with source-aligned pay details of 300-450000 US Dollars per annual salary.

A clear on-site opportunity with defined business impact and the chance to step into meaningful ownership quickly.

This is a chance to join a technology first investment firm where engineering isn't a support function. It's central to the business. You'd be building foundational data infrastructure that directly powers research and investment decisions. The stack is modern, the team is lean, and there's genuine ownership over what you build. Strong comp and a collaborative, high caliber team. San Francisco based with a tight knit in office culture.
