Responsibilities

• Build and maintain real-time and batch data pipelines across enterprise systems
• Integrate ERPs, operational tools, APIs, and legacy systems into a clean internal data layer
• Design schemas and data contracts consumed by LLMs, agents, and workflow engines
• Own ingestion, normalization, and transformation for unstructured and semi-structured data
• Partner closely with product and engineering to translate operational needs into data systems
• Implement monitoring, observability, and basic data quality checks
• Move fast in ambiguous environments where reliability matters

Requirements

• 5+ years experience building production data or backend systems
• Strong Python and SQL
• Experience with ETL/ELT pipelines and API-based integrations
• Familiarity with cloud data infrastructure and streaming or event-driven systems
• Ability to work independently and make sound technical tradeoffs
• Comfort operating without perfect requirements or documentation

Preferred qualifications

• Experience with industrial, operational, or enterprise data systems
• Exposure to AI or ML-adjacent data workflows
• Experience designing systems consumed by LLMs or agents
• Startup or founding-team experience

Benefits

• Competitive salary plus meaningful founding equity
• High ownership and direct access to decision-making
• Work on real-world AI problems with real operational impact
• Flexible location with strong preference for US-based candidates

How we work

We value speed, clarity, and technical rigor. We favor simple systems over clever ones, prototypes over over-planning, and ownership over handoffs. You'll work directly with founders and ship things that matter quickly.
