💡 Role Description
We’re hiring our first engineer dedicated to the internal data and operations platform that powers how the company runs.
You’ll design and build the systems that support our commercial, product, and operations teams - helping automate workflows, improve decision-making, and enable the company to move significantly faster.
This is a high-ownership backend/data engineering role where you’ll work across data pipelines, integrations, automation, and internal infrastructure.
You’ll have the opportunity to:

🔧 Example Projects You’ll Work On:
Customer Health Intelligence System
Design data pipelines that consolidate product usage, CRM data, and user feedback into a unified system of record.
Build automated signals and alerts that detect churn risk, usage drops, or emerging product issues - enabling the team to act quickly.
User Feedback → Product Development Pipeline
Build internal tooling that processes feedback calls with users.
Use LLMs to extract themes, cluster feature requests, and surface the most important insights to the product team.
Billing & Revenue Infrastructure
Design systems to support complex B2B pricing models — combining usage-based, seat-based, and platform fees.
Automate invoicing, reconciliation, and financial reporting.
Internal Data Platform
Build and own our internal data platform, integrating product telemetry, CRM data, and financial systems.
Create reliable pipelines and APIs that power reporting, automation, and decision-making across the company.
