Role

Who you are

4+ years of dedicated data engineering experience, solving complex data pipelines issues at scale
Experience troubleshooting and investigating data issues
Experience building data models and data pipelines on top of large datasets (terabytes of data)
Experience with SQL as a flexible and extensible tool, and are comfortable with modern SQL data orchestration tools like dbt, Mode, and Airflow
Experience working with different performant warehouses and data lakes; Redshift, Azure Synapse, Snowflake, Databricks
Experience building and maintaining both batch and real-time pipelines using technologies like Spark and Kafka/Azure Event Hub

What the job involves

Making data-driven decisions is key to Empower’s culture
To support that, we need to scale our data systems while maintaining correct and complete data
We provide tooling and guidance to teams across engineering, product, and business and help them explore our data quickly and safely to get the data insights they need, which ultimately helps Empower serve our customers more effectively
Data Engineers heavily leverage SQL and Python to build data workflows
We use tools like dbt, Databricks, Azure Event Hub and Terraform to orchestrate data pipelines and define workflows
We work with engineers, product managers, business intelligence, credit analysts, and many other teams to build Empower’s data strategy and a data-first mindset
Write secure, clear, well-structured, and performant code using Python, Spark and SQL
Build, scale, and optimize secure, self-service frameworks for batch and streaming data
Automate and streamline data infrastructure updates and CI/CD deployment processes
Develop tools and frameworks that enhance data governance and improve data quality standards
Partner with stakeholders, such as Analytics, Credit/Risk, Data Science, Product Engineering, and other business partners to meet their data needs

Our take

An individual’s credit score greatly influences their life, affecting their ability to rent, receive loans, buy a house, and access affordable interest rates. But you have to have credit to build credit, leaving a lot of people in a catch-22 situation. Empower is a mobile-only app that makes credit more inclusive and accessible, helping customers achieve their credit health goals regardless of their credit history (or lack thereof).

Though other FinTech companies such as Mint or Personal Capital also offer impressive financial tracking for their customers, Empower’s comprehensive set of personal finance features including cash advance and automatic savings offerings make it a better choice for people who want to use a single app to manage their finances.

By empowering people to take control of their money through its range of financial services, Empower is working to break the cycle of paycheck-to-paycheck living. Backed by Blisce, Defy Ventures and Quiet Capital, the company has been significantly growing its revenue in recent years and was recognized in the 2022 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing companies in the US.
