About the Team:

The Data Engineering team at Mission Lane is responsible for building and maintaining the analytical data infrastructure and ETL/Reverse ETL pipelines that move data in and out of our data Warehouse. 

We are a team of 13 data engineers working in a highly collaborative environment. We are continually striving to elevate our engineering practices and are committed to building high-quality, reliable, and scalable data solutions.  

About the Role:

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced lead for our Data Engineering team to play a key role in shaping the future of our data platform. You will be a technical leader, responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining complex data pipelines, driving best practices in software engineering, and mentoring other engineers. You will work closely with stakeholders across the company, including software engineers, data scientists, and business analysts, to ensure that our data infrastructure meets their evolving needs. This is an opportunity to make a significant impact on a growing team in a company with a strongly data-driven culture.  

The impact you’ll make:

  • Technical Leadership:
    • Design, develop, and maintain complex, high-performance data pipelines using Python, SQL, dbt, and Snowflake on GCP.
    • Lead the effort to advance code quality, test coverage, and maintainability of our data pipelines.
    • Champion and implement software engineering best practices, including code reviews, testing methodology, CI/CD, and documentation.
    • Drive the adoption of data observability tools and practices (e.g., data lineage, automated alerting).
    • Research, evaluate, and recommend new technologies and tools to improve our data platform.
    • Contribute to the data architecture and design of our data warehouse.
  • Collaboration & Mentorship:
    • Mentor and guide other data engineers, providing technical expertise and fostering a culture of continuous learning.
    • Collaborate effectively with software engineering teams to define data ownership, streamline ingestion processes, and ensure data consistency.
    • Work closely with stakeholders (data scientists, analysts, business users) to understand their data needs and translate them into technical requirements.
    • Partner with stakeholders to ensure that projects are well defined.
  • Operational Excellence:
    • Troubleshoot and resolve complex data pipeline issues, ensuring data quality and reliability.
    • Contribute to the development and maintenance of our CI/CD pipelines for data infrastructure.
    • Participate in on-call rotation to support critical data pipelines.
    • Identify and address inefficiencies in our data engineering processes.

You will thrive in this role if you have:

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
  • 5+ years of experience in data engineering.
  • Expert-level SQL skills.
  • Strong Python programming skills.
  • Strong understanding of software engineering principles and best practices (e.g., version control, testing, CI/CD).
  • Extensive experience with data warehousing technologies, preferably Snowflake.
  • Experience with dbt (Data Build Tool).
  • Experience with cloud platforms, preferably GCP (Google Cloud Platform), including services like Cloud Functions, and GCS.
  • Experience designing and implementing reliable and resilient ETL/ELT pipelines. 
  • Experience with data observability and monitoring tools.
  • Excellent communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.

You will get bonus points for:

  • Experience with data governance and data quality frameworks.
  • Experience with data modeling techniques.
  • Experience with Airflow.
  • Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Terraform, Kubernetes Config Connector).
  • Experience with Montecarlo or similar data observability platforms.

Base Salary:  $132,500 - $184,000 USD

Additional compensation in the form(s) of participation in our annual incentive program and equity are dependent on role.  Pay is based on factors such as work experience, education, certification(s), training, skills, and competencies related to the role. Mission Lane also offers a comprehensive benefits plan, which includes unlimited paid time off, 401(k) match, a monthly wellness stipend, health/ dental/ vision insurance options, disability coverage, paid parental leave, flexible spending account (for childcare and healthcare), life insurance, and a remote-friendly work environment.

About Mission Lane:

Founded in December 2018, Mission Lane is a purpose-driven fintech company based in the U.S., with headquarters in Richmond, Virginia. 

It all started with a realization:  nearly fifty percent of the adult population in the U.S. doesn’t have access to a clear line of credit. Most traditional credit card companies either overlook or overcharge this group because they have less-than-perfect credit scores or no scores at all. We decided this just wouldn’t do.

In partnership with our sponsor banks, we offer credit cards under the Mission Lane brand name, with better, clearer terms, and a more refined customer experience than the alternatives available to people working hard to improve their credit.

To date, over three million consumers have chosen Mission Lane, earning high customer ratings on Credit Karma for its market segment and industry leading Net Promoter scores. 

Mission Lane has cumulatively raised over $600 million of equity from leading investors, including Invus Opportunities, QED Investors, LL Funds, funds affiliated with Oaktree Capital Management, and other leading investors.

What I like most about Echo Jobs is how easy it is to use. The platform helps me quickly find jobs that match my skills and interests, thanks to its great recommendations and filters.

As a student navigating the job market, I've found LinkedIn increasingly frustrating due to numerous fake postings by consultancies. In contrast, this job posting website has been a game-changer for me. It offers genuine opportunities and a straightforward application process, making it much easier to find and apply for real jobs. Highly recommend it to fellow students seeking reliable job listings!

Echo Jobs has been exceptional in my job hunt where it provides one platform to job hunt and I don't have to open 10 websites just to look for a job. It has also helped me focus much on the job skill and the location filtering out the onsite jobs and remote ones. The only feature that I would request is to display fully remote jobs that are not restricted to a country since the one available shows ie, Remote, US yet. But if it could show remote only, that would be helpful not only to me but to other people applying for full remote and not tied to only US candidates

I found EchoJobs in 2022, and I love it. It has a lot of remote jobs. It's exclusive to software and technology jobs (helpful for devs like me). What I like the most are its filters and its API. If you're a tech professional seeking remote work, I highly recommend giving it a try to EchoJobs.

Best wishes with EchoJobs—it's become my favorite job board overnight!

Simply put, it's the most up to date tech jobs aggregator I’ve found. I'm like... "I don't have to check 10+ jobs boards daily just to see if there's a new job listing? sign me up!" The filters are also quite helpful! The UI is very clean and straightforward. Love it!
