About the role

We file this job under Data Engineer, by the work the posting describes.

Data engineers build and run the pipelines that copy data out of apps and outside services into a warehouse or lake, and fix them when a source changes or a load fails.

Expect SQL, Python, a cloud platform, a scheduler such as Airflow, and often tools for large data such as Spark or Kafka.

An analytics engineer works one step later, turning the raw data a data engineer lands into clean tables people can query.

Create clear documentation for sensitive workflows and ensure that operational users understand the limitations of the data

Proactively identify opportunities to improve reporting and workflows as recruiting processes change

Partner with team members, engineering, product and business leaders to understand current user behavior and patterns across our platform

Monitor pipelines for stability, suggest and implement efficiency initiatives

What We Value

Proven ability to build and maintain data pipelines, datasets, and analytics data products

Hands-on experience with Foundry, Contour, or comparable data and analytics platforms

Background working with Recruiting, HR, People, CRM, ATS, or other operational data; Lever experience preferred

Proficiency integrating APIs, data warehouses, and SaaS systems

Familiarity with workflow automation, writeback processes, and event-driven integrations

Working knowledge of data governance, privacy, retention, access controls, and compliance-related workflows

What We Require

Degree in Data Science, Finance, Math, Engineering, Computer Science, Economics, Business or other quantitative fields

1+ years of experience in a data analytical role

Expertise in Python and data manipulation to answer complex questions. Experience with pySpark, pandas, or polars is a plus.

Strong SQL skills and experience working with relational or structured data.

Proficiency with BI tools, SQL, and the organization and analysis of data

Fluency in TypeScript, or another general-purpose programming language
