Data Engineer

Company overview:

Customers use our platform to manage equipment rentals: reservations, check-out, damage photos, invoicing and QuickBooks sync. The product is a mobile app plus a React web dashboard, with a Python and PostgreSQL backend on AWS.

The role:

We are creating this position because the workload has grown. This hire will help replace a set of fragile nightly scripts with tested, monitored pipelines. Our headquarters is in Auburn, and about a third of the team works remotely from other countries. This is a full-time remote role. We use an employer of record in Pakistan, so you get a proper employment contract, not a freelance agreement. Core hours overlap with US Central time, 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM CT.

Your responsibilities:

• Tune slow queries and expensive jobs
• Work with analysts to define metrics and fix discrepancies between reports
• Design table layouts and partitioning for Parquet, Delta Lake or Iceberg
• Respond to pipeline failures and backfill data when needed
• Document datasets and lineage in a catalogue such as DataHub or Atlan
• Handle PII according to retention, masking and access policies
• Maintain CI for data code and review pull requests
• Model data in dbt using staging, intermediate and mart layers

What we're looking for:

• 2+ years of data engineering, or backend work with data at volume
• Expert SQL, including window functions and query tuning
• Strong Python for data processing
• Hands-on with an orchestration tool such as Airflow

Nice to have:

• Reverse ETL tools like Hightouch or Census

What we offer:

• Annual team retreat
• Performance bonus
• Co-working space stipend
• Annual salary review
• Two weeks of paid leave at year end
• Flexible hours

Start: Flexible.
