Role
Who you are
- Professional experience: 4+ years working with SQL, Python, data pipelines, and BI tools
- Strong Python & software engineering mindset: you are a proficient Python developer who leads with principles of source control, infrastructure as code, testing, and automation. This is more important to us than deep expertise in any single data tool
- Robust, production-grade data pipeline designer: you understand the importance of testing and validation, you have tools in your toolbelt to deal with data from a variety of sources (APIs, GraphQL, Salesforce), optimize transformations and produce consumer-ready datasets
- Orchestration experience: you have hands-on experience with a modern data orchestrator. Direct experience with Dagster is a huge plus, but experience with tools like Airflow, Prefect, or other code-first orchestration tools is also highly valuable
- Pragmatic problem-solving: you can figure things out. You're comfortable researching a problem, designing a solution, implementing a technical spike, and then delivering it through responsible change management. You have the bias for action
- Solid data fundamentals: you have a solid grasp of SQL and data modeling principles. You don't need to be a world-class SQL optimizer, but you understand how to build clean, reliable datasets
- An owner's mindset: you are proactive and take ownership of your work from end to end. You treat the platform as your product
What the job involves
- At Coast, the success of our data platform is driving accelerating demand from all corners of the company
- We’re looking for a key builder to help us meet this moment
- In this role, you will drive the delivery of high-impact analytics and AI use cases while contributing to the evolution of our modern, cloud-native data platform
- This is a chance to join a small, high-leverage team and make a definitive impact, building the systems that help us understand risk, acquire customers, and create a better financial product
- You will be building on a solid foundation that lets you focus on high-impact work from day one
- Our data engineering organization follows the federated model of data product ownership—the data platform serves as the foundation, not the first line of defense against data issues
- This role is a launchpad for the next step in your career
- You'll partner directly with business leaders and have outsized ownership, helping to steer the company's direction
- This role reports to the Lead Data Engineer that heads up our Data organization
- Own the delivery of data: you will design and deliver data for a variety of use cases from all areas of the business (marketing & sales, growth, risk, compliance, product, etc.) with robustness and high degree of automation
- Orchestration: you'll design, build, and maintain robust, scalable, and testable data assets using Dagster
- Build Data Products & Pipelines: you'll implement and deploy new ELT pipelines and data transformations using our modern SQL-based stack (dbt, Redshift, Python) to support critical business use cases
- Apply Software Engineering Principles: you'll champion and apply software engineering best practices—including robust testing, CI/CD, modularity, and observability—to every part of our data platform
- Collaborate and Document: you'll work closely with product engineers and business stakeholders to understand their needs. You'll also contribute to our technical direction by writing clear design documents and Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) for new patterns and tools
- Improve the Platform: you'll continuously look for, notice, and implement improvements to our data infrastructure, helping us build a well-managed and cost-effective platform
Application process
- The interview will be in-person
Our take
In recent years, companies like Ramp, Brex, Divvy, and others have emerged to provide easier ways for companies to allow their employees to pay for job-related expenses through corporate cards. However, none of these services really work for businesses operating automobile fleets - approximately 10% of B2B card spend in the US.
That’s where Coast comes in, offering a modern card issuing expense solution specifically built for fleets. The Coast card meets the demands of fleets-specific controls, security, and visibility, contributing to preventing fraud and unauthorized use. Its platform allows fleet managers to visualize spend, block or flag transactions for review, and set their own rules for card holders.
With back-to-back funding rounds awarded in 2024, Coast has been focused on expanding its team and the platform’s capabilities, offering a wider range of financial products - including parking, maintenance, and other on-the-road expenses on top of just fuel. Its Visa Fleet card program, which enables Coast Visa Fleet cardholders to make payments wherever Visa is accepted, makes it an attractive option in the market as fleet management continues to modernize.
