who cares deeply about their craft, thinks in terms of the whole business, and holds a point of view without holding it too tightly. You'll design and build major components of the data infrastructure that powers reporting, analytics, and decision-making across the business - built on Snowflake, dbt, Looker, and Domo - while setting a high
Define modeling standards within your domain using dbt, and build curated models, marts, and reusable data assets that support reporting, analytics, operations, and executive decision-making. Own complex initiatives end-to-end: define scope and a technical plan before execution, then deliver durable, scalable solutions with minimal oversight. Solve ambiguous, multi-system technical problems from evolving requirements, and make design decisions that hold up as the business grows.
Set a high bar for code quality within your domain through thoughtful, consistent code review, drive improvements in testing, validation, and documentation practices, and keep architecture and modeling consistent across our repos. Support and troubleshoot business-critical pipelines and jobs in production, including incident response for the systems you own. Work directly with stakeholders across marketing, sales, operations, finance, product, technology, and mortgage operations - including analysts and BI teams in Looker and Domo - to translate what they need into trusted, consistent data models and metrics.

Job description
- Design and build major components of our warehouse in Snowflake - ingestion layer, transformation layer, and core schema domains - including work in legacy Redshift environments as we modernize.
- Lead the ingestion of our most complex datasets into the core schema, across a wide variety of source systems, connectors, data shares, SFTP transfers, APIs, and native integrations.
- Define modeling standards within your domain using dbt, and build curated models, marts, and reusable data assets that support reporting, analytics, operations, and executive decision-making.
- Own complex initiatives end-to-end: define scope and a technical plan before execution, then deliver durable, scalable solutions with minimal oversight.
- Solve ambiguous, multi-system technical problems from evolving requirements, and make design decisions that hold up as the business grows.
- Anticipate scalability constraints and downstream impacts, identify re-architecture needs proactively, and propose the fix.
- Set a high bar for code quality within your domain through thoughtful, consistent code review, drive improvements in testing, validation, and documentation practices, and keep architecture and modeling consistent across our repos.
- Support and troubleshoot business-critical pipelines and jobs in production, including incident response for the systems you own.
- Work directly with stakeholders across marketing, sales, operations, finance, product, technology, and mortgage operations - including analysts and BI teams in Looker and Domo - to translate what they need into trusted, consistent data models and metrics.
- Mentor junior and mid-level engineers through code review, pairing, and technical guidance, and influence modeling and architecture decisions within the team.
- High give a sh*t factor - You care about the quality of what you deliver, holding yourself to a high standard - and you do your best work alongside people who do the same.
- Same team, same mission - You collaborate generously and treat teammates and stakeholders as partners, not requesters. Everyone here is working toward the same ambition.
- A problem-solver at heart - You're drawn to hard, ambiguous challenges, and you're motivated by building solutions the business actually feels.
- Strong opinions, loosely held - You bring a real point of view and make the case for it - in a doc, a code review, or a room - and you update when the evidence says to. You care more about getting it right than being right.

- Comfort operating with limited direction: scoping your own work, sequencing it, and knowing when to pull others in.
- Experience mentoring or informally leading other engineers.
- Ability to communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, including leadership.
- Mortgage, lending, financial services, real estate, or fintech.
- Hands-on Snowflake, dbt, Looker, and/or Domo at scale.

- Building with AI agents, workflow automation, or LLM-powered internal tools.
- Orchestration tools, cloud platforms, CI/CD, or modern data stack tooling.
- Designing data governance, data quality testing, or observability frameworks rather than following existing ones.
- Supporting executive reporting, operational analytics, marketing analytics, mortgage operations, or sales funnel reporting.
