Role
Who you are
- This role is ideal for an engineer who is passionate about modern data architecture, cloud-native infrastructure, and mentoring others while delivering high-impact systems that make data a true asset
- 8+ years in data engineering, architecture, or related technical roles working with large-scale data systems
- Deep experience with SQL and Python for data transformation and automation
- Hands-on experience with modern data stack tools such as dbt, Airbyte, Fivetran, and Snowflake
- Strong understanding of cloud technologies, particularly AWS (e.g., S3, Lambda, EC2, IAM)
- Familiarity with open data formats and scalable data lakehouse principles (e.g., Iceberg or similar)
- Experience building and operating workflow orchestration tools such as Airflow
- Knowledge of observability and monitoring frameworks to support data platform health and alerting
- Comfortable working in Git-based environments with strong CI/CD practices
- Ability to communicate technical concepts effectively to both technical and non-technical audiences

What the job involves
- As a Senior Data Engineer, you'll be a key technical leader responsible for building and evolving our data ecosystem
- You’ll help design and optimize pipelines and architecture that support core reporting, analytics, and machine learning workloads, while also leading initiatives focused on cost efficiency, performance, and data accessibility
- Serve as a senior technical contributor helping shape the design of scalable, modular, and performant data systems
- Partner with cross-functional teams to design and deliver reliable data pipelines for analytics, reporting, and data science use cases
- Develop and optimize ELT workflows using modern tools such as Airbyte, Fivetran, dbt, and Python
- Design and maintain performant data models in Snowflake, including star schemas and other dimensional modeling techniques that support clean, well-structured, and easily consumable datasets—including those optimized for AI tools and text-to-SQL interfaces
- Lead efforts to improve data observability, including proactive alerting, monitoring, and incident response capabilities
- Explore and implement open table formats (e.g., Apache Iceberg) to enable flexibility, scalability, and interoperability across data systems
- Collaborate with DevOps and Cloud teams to ensure our AWS-based infrastructure is optimized for performance, cost, and reliability
- Establish and maintain engineering best practices, including version control, code reviews, CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing

Our take
Evolve is a hospitality company offering 5-star experiences to rental customers in highly vetted properties. It takes a direct hand in guest experience management, from preparing and vetting properties, to fine-tuning stays in response to client feedback.
Launched in 2011, Evolve came to the game shortly after Airbnb. However, where Airbnb makes vacation rental possible for everyone, Evolve’s aim is to make it easy. This is a difference it has made great pains to stress - perhaps a hangover from the misconceptions it faced from VCs when raising initial funds.
Evolve serves thousands of homeowners, with over 10 million guest customers. As home rentals continue to be popular, and with the market in need of quality control, Evolve’s 5-star focus enables it to stand out and secure a good position for the future.
