Role
Who you are
- 5+ years in data engineering, ideally at a high-growth SaaS or consumer tech company, with a track record of owning production-grade pipelines and data warehouse solutions
- Expertise in Python and SQL
- Deep dbt experience on BigQuery (or similar)
- Srong Git/CI/CD practices
- Familiarity with GCP and orchestration tools like Airflow or Fivetran
- Solid grasp of data warehousing fundamentals: dimensional modeling, ETL/ELT design, query optimization, and data quality frameworks
- Strong understanding of building data models for AI (we use Claude)
- Strong communicator who can lead projects, mentor teammates, and work cross-functionally without hand-holding
- Autonomous and high-ownership; comfortable making calls under ambiguity in a fast-moving environment
What the job involves
- We are hiring a Senior Data Engineer to build and scale the data infrastructure that powers Wagmo's growth
- You'll design and maintain robust pipelines, architect our data warehouse, and partner closely with Analytics, Finance, Product, Marketing, and Engineering to ensure clean, reliable data flows across the business
- You bring hands-on expertise in Python, SQL, and modern data stack tooling, and you care as much about data quality and governance as you do about shipping fast
- You'll translate ambiguous business problems into durable technical solutions, mentor the next generation of data talent, and help us build the data foundation that will carry Wagmo from startup to scale
- Our Tech Stack: : BigQuery · dbt · Fivetran · Python · GCP · GitHub · Tableau · Slack · Notion · Claude
- Design, build, and maintain scalable ETL/ELT pipelines and data warehouse architecture (BigQuery). Own the infrastructure end-to-end and continuously evolve it as the business grows
- Define and implement data models and dbt transformations that are clean, well-tested, and built to last, with strong standards for CI/CD, code review, and documentation
- Ensure data quality and reliability across all systems through validation, monitoring, anomaly detection, and clear data contracts and lineage documentation
- Partner with Data Analytics, Finance, Product, Marketing, and Engineering to deliver the clean, accessible data they need to make decisions. Translate complex technical concepts clearly for non-technical stakeholders
- Lead projects from scoping to delivery, and raise the bar for the team's engineering practices
