• We hire talented, self-motivated individuals with extreme ownership and high growth orientation.

• We value performance and not hours worked. We believe you shouldn't have to miss your family dinner, your kid's school play, friends get-together, or doctor's appointments for the sake of adhering to an arbitrary work schedule.

About the role
We are looking for a Data Engineer to lead the development of Sardine’s internal data platform, connecting GTM, product analytics, and business data sources into a single, scalable system that drives decision-making across the company.
This is a high-impact, highly technical role sitting at the intersection of data engineering and analytics engineering.

• Own the data warehouse partitioning strategy, access controls, and security architecture in close partnership with the Security and Infrastructure teams to meet compliance and performance requirements.

• Take full ownership of billing data infrastructure, including backend warehouse tables, data models, and ongoing maintenance.

• Design, implement, and own ETL/ELT pipelines to pull and merge data from multiple internal and external systems, ensuring clean, reliable, and scalable data flows across the organization.

• Partner with data science, engineering, revenue operations, and executive stakeholders to define and track KPIs, ensuring business decisions are grounded in data.

• Serve as the connective tissue between Revenue Operations, Business Operations, and Product/Eng, translating complex requirements into elegant data solutions.

• Champion data quality and governance, ensuring insights are consistent, trustworthy, and well-documented.

• Build dashboards and analytics that provide key insights for executive leadership, GTM, product, and finance teams.

• Analyze data to identify the best ways to deliver value to clients and inform product decisions.
  
  What you’ll need

• 5+ years of experience in data engineering, analytics engineering ideally supporting GTM or business functions.

• Hands-on experience with AWS or GCP, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and CI/CD pipelines.

• Experience building and maintaining scalable data visualization solutions (Sigma, Looker, Tableau).

• Familiarity with credit or financial data and the regulatory considerations that come with handling sensitive information.

• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to partner effectively with executives and non-technical teams.

• A bias toward action and comfort working in ambiguity. You find answers rather than wait for direction.
