About the role

Data Products builds and owns datasets end to end: from raw chain data through decoding to the 3000+ models and 4 petabytes we curate, share directly with customers, and replicate into their warehouses.

The role will focus on the lifecycle of building high quality data: orchestrating thousands of interdependent models, propagating schema changes without breaking downstream consumers, propagating corrections. That is a software architecture problem in a data domain. This role is a hybrid: a backend engineer who thinks in systems and contracts, working on data.

You will be the engineer we hand ambiguous product requirements to, and will come back with a design, a sequence, and work the team can pick up, while building the hardest parts yourself.

In this role you will

Design and build the control plane for our curated data lifecycle: dependency-aware orchestration, backfills, restatements, retries, partial failure, and recovery

Decide, dataset by dataset, whether the answer is a model, a service or a job, and own that architecture through production

Design the contracts between ingestion and curation so a dataset can be reasoned about end to end

Build alerting and data quality signals that catch real problems and stay quiet otherwise, so on-call is about incidents rather than noise

Work across Go, Kotlin, Rust, Python and SQL, choosing the right tool rather than the familiar one

Break large problems into work other engineers can own, and sequence it so we ship something useful early

You might be a great fit if

You are a backend engineer who has gone deep on data systems, or a data engineer who became a strong software engineer. You ship production services, not only pipelines

You have built or materially extended orchestration and scheduling systems, and can explain precisely what breaks at scale and why
