Original job description

Senior Data Engineer II Level: IC4 Employment Type: Full-time Focus: Data Platform, Pipeline Architecture, Analytics Engineering, Data Infrastructure, AI-Enabled Data Workflows About Our Client Our client is scaling a modern data platform across more business domains, pipelines, and internal stakeholders. As the platform grows, the architectural decisions made today will directly impact reliability, cost, developer experience, and long-term technical debt. The team is looking for a senior data engineer who can help shape the foundation of the platform while still staying hands-on with the work. This is an opportunity to join a data organization that values strong technical judgment, practical execution, and long-term platform health. About the Role Our client is hiring a Senior Data Engineer II to own and evolve data pipeline architecture across core platform domains. This is not a whiteboard-only architecture role. This person will still be hands-on - writing pipelines, debugging production issues, improving observability, and shipping code alongside the team. What makes this role senior is the scope. You’ll make independent architectural decisions, evaluate platform tradeoffs, influence how Analytics Engineering, Data Science, and Engineering teams build on the data platform, and serve as a trusted technical partner when complex design decisions need a second opinion. What You’ll Do

Own and evolve data pipeline architecture across ingestion, transformation, modeling, and serving
Make project-level architectural decisions independently
Evaluate tradeoffs across freshness, cost, scalability, reliability, and simplicity
Lead platform-level improvements across warehouse cost management, compute efficiency, and access control
Treat reliability, observability, and cost efficiency as core design constraints
Identify and lead technical initiatives that improve the long-term health of the data platform
Proactively surface investments across orchestration, CI/CD, data access, and developer experience before they become blockers
Drive large, complex technical projects or multiple cross-functional initiatives at once
Own outcomes across projects that span Data, Analytics, Data Science, Engineering, and Product teams
Lead monitoring and testing strategy for your domain
Close observability gaps, build proactive alerting, and help resolve the hardest production issues
Influence technical decisions and architectural direction beyond the Data & Analytics team
Partner directly with Engineering, Product, and Design stakeholders on infrastructure decisions that impact business roadmaps
Mentor data engineers and analytics engineers through architecture reviews, modeling decisions, and technical guidance
Integrate AI meaningfully into data engineering workflows
Build tooling and automation that creates leverage for the broader team, not just individual productivity
Coach others on effective, validated use of AI in data engineering workflows

What We’re Looking For

Senior-level data engineering experience with strong ownership of production data pipelines
Experience designing data pipeline architecture across ingestion, transformation, modeling, and serving layers
Strong hands-on experience building, debugging, and operating production data systems
Ability to evaluate platform tradeoffs across scalability, cost, reliability, freshness, and simplicity
Experience improving warehouse performance, compute efficiency, cost controls, and access control patterns
Strong understanding of data observability, testing, alerting, CI/CD, and production reliability
Ability to lead large technical initiatives across multiple teams and stakeholders
Strong technical judgment and the ability to make architectural decisions independently
Experience partnering with Analytics Engineering, Data Science, Engineering, Product, or business stakeholders
Ability to mentor other data engineers and influence technical direction without relying on formal authority
Interest in using AI tools to improve data engineering workflows, automation, and team leverage

Bonus Experience

Experience with modern cloud data warehouses and data platform architecture
Experience leading platform modernization, cost optimization, or data reliability initiatives
Experience building internal tooling for data teams
Experience improving developer experience for analytics engineering or data science teams
Experience applying AI-assisted workflows to data engineering, orchestration, observability, or quality automation
Experience working in high-growth marketplace, consumer technology, fintech, real estate technology, or data-heavy product environments

Why This Opportunity

Own meaningful architecture across a growing data platform
Stay hands-on while influencing platform direction at a senior IC level
Work closely with Analytics Engineering, Data Science, Engineering, and Product teams
Lead high-impact initiatives across reliability, observability, cost, access control, and developer experience
Help reduce long-term technical debt before it becomes a major blocker
Mentor other engineers and become a trusted technical voice across the organization
Build AI-enabled tooling and automation that creates leverage for the entire data team
