About the Role

This is a dual-depth role focusing on backend systems engineering and data engineering. You will design the services and pipelines that ingest data at scale, and the lakehouse/warehouse models that ensure data trustworthiness and reproducibility. The Data Platform powers the entire incrementality platform, including causal experiments, marketing mix models, and ad spend reallocation, all running on systems built by this team. You will be the senior-most individual contributor on a 6-10 person team, setting technical direction and collaborating with engineering leadership, product engineering, and data science.

Responsibilities

  • Architect and build backend services for Haus's data platform, including high-throughput ingestion from third-party APIs, normalization services, data contracts, and orchestration control plane.
  • Solve complex distributed systems problems in a data context, such as exactly-once semantics, idempotent reprocessing, schema evolution without downtime, and handling flaky third-party APIs.
  • Own the lakehouse/warehouse as a product, including schema and data-model design, dbt architecture, data quality frameworks, lineage, and cost/performance optimization of BigQuery workloads.
  • Set the engineering standard for the team, covering testing strategy, API design, code review, observability, and CI/CD.
  • Drive architectural decisions across the GCP / BigQuery / dbt / Python stack and ensure alignment with downstream engineering and data science teams.
  • Mentor senior engineers and influence the broader organization's data strategy.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of software engineering experience with deep backend and data expertise.
  • Solid, hands-on experience with a cloud data warehouse or lakehouse (BigQuery preferred; Snowflake, Databricks, or Iceberg-based stacks).
  • Deep SQL/dbt experience, including designing schemas for evolution and reasoning about correctness and performance of complex analytical queries.
  • Expert-level Python experience for building production services.
  • Track record of Staff-level technical leadership, including setting direction, writing design documents, and solving difficult problems.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to defend technical decisions to various stakeholders.
  • Contributions to open-source data frameworks or tooling (Apache Spark, Beam, Iceberg, Arrow, or similar) are a plus.
