Data Engineer (Fully Remote)

Team: Data & Analytics

Location: Atlanta, GA

Commitment: Full-time

Workplace Type: remote

Salary:

Here's What You'll Be Doing Day-to-Day:

PR-driven shipping: Opening and merging pull requests for new or updated Dagster jobs, assets, schedules, and sensors, plus dbt models, tests, and documentation.
Infrastructure tweaks: Writing occasional Terraform for secrets, environment variables, or job sizing when a pipeline needs it.
Pipeline implementation: Building and debugging Python pipelines covering REST/API syncs, large Postgres extracts, Parquet loads, and Snowflake COPY operations.
Airbyte management: Configuring or troubleshooting Airbyte connections wherever managed sync is the right fit.
Production monitoring: Watching production runs and investigating failures related to IAM, OOM, Spot instances, or bad watermarks.
Backfills & catch-ups: Running backfills and incremental catch-ups with a clear story for what landed and why.
Modeling partnership: Working with analytics and product on dim/fct/x_fct design, incremental strategies, and data quality.
Code review & runbooks: Participating in code review, release prep, and writing short runbooks so others can operate your pipelines when you're out.

Here's What You'll Need to Be Successful:

Warehouse fundamentals: Solid grasp of relational databases and warehouse patterns — keys, grain, normalization vs. star schema, and how SCD behavior gets encoded.
Orchestration experience: Practical, hands-on Dagster (or Airflow) experience — not just writing SQL inside a scheduler UI.
dbt proficiency: Real experience building and maintaining models, tests, and documentation in dbt.
Python at scale: Comfort reading and writing Python that moves data at scale across extract, transform, and load steps.
AWS working knowledge: Practical familiarity with S3, IAM, and ECS/Fargate at a "debug my job" level.
EL tool familiarity: Experience with Airbyte or similar extract-and-load tools.
PR discipline: The discipline to write pull requests others can easily review, and to give equally rigorous reviews in return.
Reliability mindset: A track record of keeping pipelines healthy and modeling consistent across full refresh and incremental paths, without becoming a single point of failure.
