Senior Data Engineer - Data Performance and Tooling

This role is focused on building the foundational data infrastructure that enables a fast-growing SaaS organization to operate, analyze, and make better decisions at scale.
You will take end-to-end ownership of critical data infrastructure projects, from architecture and implementation through production operations and continuous improvement.
The position combines data engineering, cloud infrastructure, streaming systems, security, and performance optimization in a highly technical environment.
You will work closely with analytics, product, platform, and engineering teams to translate business needs into reliable and scalable data solutions.
A key part of the role is helping shape data strategy, governance, and accessibility as the organization continues to grow.
You will also contribute to modernizing data capabilities through technologies such as AWS, Apache Iceberg, Snowflake, Kafka, and infrastructure as code.
This is an opportunity to make a broad technical impact while using AI thoughtfully to accelerate routine engineering work and focus on complex technical challenges.
