Role:
The Senior Software Engineer, Data will own the architecture, implementation, and evolution of Acquisition.com’s core data infrastructure, with a primary focus on finance, people, and legal data domains. This role is responsible for transforming data from a wide range of internal and external systems into trusted, well-modeled assets that power our corporate dashboards and decision-making.
You will operate in a lean, high-ownership environment, taking data initiatives from concept to production. Your work will sit at the intersection of raw operational data and executive-level insight, making complex systems simple, reliable, and actionable.
We are looking for someone who enjoys solving hard data problems, building durable pipelines, and continuously improving how data supports business operations. With the right architecture and tooling, you will materially reduce friction across the organization.
Responsibilities:
Design, implement, and maintain robust, automated data pipelines using modern ETL and ELT tools, including Fivetran for ingestion and dbt for transformation and orchestration.
Model and optimize data in Snowflake to support analytics, operational reporting, and automation, particularly for finance, people, and legal teams.
Ensure data reliability through automated quality checks, monitoring, observability, and lineage visibility.
Build reusable abstractions, libraries, and internal frameworks, primarily in TypeScript and SQL, to support scalable ingestion and transformation of structured and unstructured data.
Partner closely with analytics, engineering, and business stakeholders to deliver consistent, executive-ready insights through tools such as Metabase and a centralized corporate dashboard.
Leverage AWS and infrastructure as code to manage data storage, compute, and deployment workflows in a secure and scalable way.
Continuously evolve data architecture to meet changing needs around performance, scale, governance, security, and compliance.
Requirements:
5+ years of experience building and scaling modern data infrastructure in production environments.
Strong experience designing and operating ETL and ELT workflows, ideally with Fivetran and dbt, in distributed data systems.
Expert level SQL skills and proficiency in at least one general-purpose language, with strong preference for TypeScript. Python or Scala experience is also valuable.
Deep knowledge of Snowflake, analytical data modeling, and dbt best practices.
Experience working with AWS, infrastructure as code, CI CD pipelines, and monitoring and alerting systems.
Familiarity with agent-driven development tools such as Cursor and Claude Code, or strong interest in adopting AI-assisted development workflows.
Experience supporting analytics and reporting use cases, ideally using Metabase.
Results:
Reliable, automated data flows that power analytics, dashboards, and operational workflows.
Significant reduction in manual reporting through self-service, well-modeled Snowflake assets and Metabase dashboards.
Increased trust in data through strong validation, monitoring, and observability.
Faster, higher-quality decision-making enabled by unified, well-documented data models.
A scalable, compliant, and future-ready data ecosystem that supports continued company growth.
Data solutions that deliver immediate business value while establishing long-term architectural patterns.
