We're looking for our first dedicated data engineer. You'd start alongside an external vendor extending an existing warehouse, then take full ownership. Concretely, the work would involve building ELT pipelines from survey platforms and external sources into a cloud warehouse, maintaining a dimensional model, collaborating with analysts, and overseeing orchestration & monitoring.

You have solid Python + ETL/ELT, strong SQL and dimensional modeling, cloud warehouse experience. Nice to have: dbt/Airflow/Dagster, prior SWE work, interest in forecasting. Apply even if you don't tick every box!

Conditions:

- 100% Remote (worldwide) / Remote (global)

- 30 days PTO, health insurance contribution

- $75k–$130k, depending on experience

- 3 team retreats/year

Hiring process: short work test → paid 10-hour test → a few interviews.

The ForecastBench Tournament Leaderboard [2] allows external participants to submit models, most of whom provide some sort of web search / news scaffolding to improve model forecasting accuracy.

They even have a search engine that allows you to search for products [2] or ingredients. If don't know what's in your products, I encourage you to start here to find out more about the ingredients.
