Systems Engineer, Data Platform & Integrations

Systems Engineer

Pavilion began as a bold experiment to solve a personal problem. In the early 2010s, founder Sam Jacobs realized that the higher he climbed in go-to-market leadership, the lonelier the journey became. Those peer conversations – equal parts therapy, strategy, and camaraderie – sparked a global community of GTM professionals united by shared learning and support.

Today, Pavilion serves nearly 10,000 members worldwide with industry-leading retention and profitability. At over $10M ARR, the brand is synonymous with excellence in GTM leadership.

The Opportunity

We're looking for a Systems Engineer to own the connective tissue across our core business systems, data warehouse, and customer access logic.

You will be responsible for how data moves between systems controlling critical processes like sales, payments, product operations, and reporting. You will build and maintain the integrations, pipelines, models, and entitlement logic that ensure our teams can trust customer, subscription, payment, engagement, and revenue data.

This is a hybrid engineering role: part data platform, part backend systems, part business systems architecture. The right person can write strong Python and SQL, work comfortably with APIs and webhooks, understand how SaaS systems fit together, and make practical and sustainable architecture decisions independently.

Responsibilities

• Validate and implement the next chapter of Pavilion's system architecture
• Own integrations across core systems, including systems like Stripe, HubSpot, Hivebrite, Slack, Snowflake, AWS RDS or similar, and other third-party tools.
• Design and maintain reliable data flows between operational, product, sales, and financial systems, including entitlement logic and payments workflows.
• Build and maintain pipelines, transformations, and data models for customer, subscription, payment, revenue, engagement, and access data.
• Own the technical layer for entitlements and customer access logic.
• Support system migrations and new tool implementations, including data mapping, QA, and downstream reporting impacts.
• Improve data quality, freshness, observability, testing, and monitoring.
• Document architecture, source-of-truth decisions, data definitions, and system workflows.
• Partner with Operations, Sales, Marketing, and Finance to translate business needs into scalable technical solutions and write requirements independently.
• Communicate tradeoffs clearly and balance speed with long-term maintainability.

What Success Looks Like

• Our system architecture is fit-for-purpose, streamlined, observable, and reliable.
• The data warehouse becomes a trusted foundation for reporting, operations, and decision-making.
• Customer, payment, entitlement, engagement, and revenue data are interconnected and reconcilable.
• New systems, migrations, and integrations are implemented cleanly.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in systems engineering, data engineering, analytics engineering, backend engineering, or business systems engineering.
• Strong Python experience for building integrations, pipelines, APIs, automations, or backend services.
• Advanced SQL and experience with modern data warehouses (e.g., Snowflake)
• Prior ownership of operational databases such as AWS RDS, Postgres, or similar.
• Experience building and maintaining integrations with third-party SaaS tools (e.g., Slack, Hivebrite, Circle, Notion, etc.)
• Strong understanding of APIs, webhooks, event-driven workflows, and data synchronization.
• Experience with payment, subscription, and CRMs is required; Stripe experience or ability to demonstrate deep understanding of Stripe documentation is necessary.
• Familiarity with Hubspot API and prior exposure to subscription businesses is highly preferred
• Demonstrated skills creating entitlement systems, access-control logic, or subscription-based products is ideal; ability to incorporate automated workflows into the logic will also be critical.
• Strong documentation habits and clear communication with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Ability to make sound, scalable architecture decisions in a fast-moving environment.

Why Join Pavilion

• Be part of a mission-driven organization that prioritizes the professional growth and success of its members above all.
• Work directly with some of the brightest GTM operators and executives in the industry.
• Be part of a collaborative team that prides itself on putting kindness first.
• Enjoy the flexibility of a fully remote role, with a distributed team that values autonomy, trust, and outcomes over face time.
