Responsibilities

  • Design and build a multi-source data platform for concurrent ingestion, event-driven processing, and orchestrated batch workflows.
  • Ingest data from APIs, webhooks, files, and web scraping with rate limits and robust failure handling.
  • Orchestrate scheduled workflows and historical backfills using Airflow, Dagster, Prefect, Temporal, or comparable tools.

  • Experience with event-driven systems, messaging or task queues, asynchronous processing, and recovery from failures.
  • Experience with raw and curated data storage, data contracts, retention, automated validation, pipeline testing, and monitoring.
  • Experience with web scraping, entity resolution, data enrichment, BigQuery, Dataform, and LLM-based extraction is useful.
  • Experience building platforms from scratch or working in small, fast-moving teams is valued.
