About Lindy

Lindy is building the AI assistant for everyone else — not the tinkerers, not the builders, but the people who just want their day back. Lindy Assistant lives in iMessage, handles email, calendar, and meetings, and takes two minutes to set up. We're building the layer between powerful AI models and real people's lives.

As Lindy's Data Engineer, you'll work closely with senior leadership (Lindy's CEO, GTM leads, and Head of Engineering) to uncover critical business insights from many sources of in-the-wild data (product analytics, BI/revenue information, customer reports, etc.). You'll be responsible for the end-to-end lifecycle of data, working closely with product and engineering to define key analytics metrics, combining that data into actionable insights, and communicating and disseminating those insights to leadership and across the company.

You'll also be in the driver's seat of our data infrastructure, iterating on Lindy's ETL pipelines, transformed tables, and other fundamental data engineering infrastructure. You'll be collaborating closely with Lindy's Head of Engineering and Director of Ops & Analytics in this capacity. At Lindy, you can expect an environment with little process and high empowerment, paired with high expectations and a strong sense of urgency.

We are an in-office company, working from our downtown San Francisco office 4 days a week. We sponsor visas and cover relocation costs up to $20,000.
