Role Overview:
You will join a small, fast-moving data team as a hybrid Data Engineer.

• Partner with FP&A and corporate reporting stakeholders to understand needs, including ATS reporting/data requests.
• Proactively anticipate stakeholder needs, ask clarifying questions, and confirm assumptions before building.
• Own work end-to-end: requirements gathering, story writing, ticket creation, prioritization, building, testing/QA, code reviews, and deployment.
• Become an expert in data structures behind the scenes, especially regarding ATS exports and custom fields, to map backend data to business meaning.
• Contribute as a versatile team member, stepping into various roles to help move work forward.

Required Qualifications:

• Strong SQL skills and the ability to solve SQL problems live in an interview setting.
• Solid understanding of core data concepts and data modeling techniques.
• Demonstrated ownership and initiative; proactive rather than order-driven.
• Strong stakeholder communication skills, capable of guiding internal customers toward clear requirements.
• Experience with data platforms such as Snowflake or other cloud data platforms like Databricks, BigQuery, or Redshift.
• Prior experience in report building or as a technical product manager who transitioned into data engineering.
• 5+ years of data engineering experience, or multiple years of SQL-based reporting plus 2+ years in data engineering.
