Senior Data Engineer for a membership-based veterinary care company, leading data pipelines and mentoring team members. Designing ETL workflows and collaborating with data scientists and engineers.
Responsibilities
Own the design, development, and reliability of production data pipelines using Python, SQL, and modern orchestration tools
Architect and implement ETL/ELT workflows to move data between source systems, data warehouses, and downstream consumers at scale
Lead the development and optimization of data pipelines that feed machine learning models, including feature engineering, training data preparation, and inference pipelines
Design and maintain ingestion and chunking pipelines for RAG systems, including document parsing, embedding generation, and vector store population
Mentor and guide a more junior data engineer: conduct code reviews, pair on complex problems, and foster their technical growth
Organize and prioritize data engineering tasks, ensuring the team delivers reliably against business timelines and technical standards
Collaborate with data scientists, ML engineers, and product teams to productionize models and ensure reliable, performant data delivery
Design and implement monitoring, alerting, and data quality frameworks to proactively catch pipeline failures and data drift
Drive the design and evolution of our data warehouse and data lake architecture, making strategic decisions about tooling, partitioning, and performance
Work with stakeholders across the business to understand data needs and translate them into scalable, well-documented data solutions
Champion engineering best practices: documentation, testing, CI/CD, and knowledge sharing within the team
Requirements
5+ years of relevant experience as a Data Engineer or in a similar data-focused role. Experience in startups and fast-paced environments strongly preferred. A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, or a related field is required; a Master’s degree is a plus.
Strong proficiency in Python and SQL for data manipulation, pipeline development, and scripting at scale
Deep experience with at least one orchestration framework (e.g., Airflow, Dagster, Prefect) for scheduling and managing complex data workflows
Solid experience with cloud platforms (AWS preferred) and their data services (e.g., S3, RDS, Redshift, Lambda, Glue)
Hands-on experience with ML pipeline concepts: feature stores, model training data preparation, batch/streaming inference pipelines
Working knowledge of RAG pipeline components: document loaders, text chunking strategies, embedding models, and vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector, Chroma)
Strong experience with Snowflake and data warehousing tools (e.g., dbt, BigQuery). Experience with data lake architectures is a plus.
Proficiency with AI-assisted engineering practices, including the use of agentic coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor) to accelerate development workflows, code generation, and debugging
Deep understanding of data modeling, schema design, and data quality frameworks
Demonstrated ability to mentor junior engineers, lead technical discussions, and influence technical direction without formal authority
Strong organizational skills with a track record of prioritizing competing workstreams and delivering projects on time
Experience with version control (Git), CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code practices.
