Data Engineer

Build the pipelines that bring each company’s data into Worker and keep its numbers right.

About the role

Owners and leadership teams use Worker’s scorecard to see which numbers need attention each week. As a data engineer, you build the pipelines that bring each company’s data into Worker and keep those numbers accurate and on time.

You’ll work with the AI team, and with the product and engineering team in Prague. You own the data our AI features use, from how it’s collected to how clean and well described it is.

What you’ll do

• Build and run the pipelines that bring company data into Worker.
• Keep scorecard numbers accurate and on time.
• Write data quality checks that catch problems before owners see them.
• Give the AI team clean, well-described data to build and test with.
• Help onboarding and forward deployed engineers move data from spreadsheets and other tools.
• Model data so product teams can answer questions quickly.
• Keep every company’s data private and safe.

What you bring

• 5+ years in data engineering.
• Strong SQL and Python.
• Experience building data pipelines and warehouses in the cloud.
• Care for data quality, and the habit of finding out why a number is wrong.
• Experience protecting sensitive data.

Meet most of these? Please apply. We care more about what you can do than a perfect match.

Nice to have

• Clear writing about how your data works.
• Experience preparing data for large language models.
• Experience with data from business tools, like accounting software, CRMs and spreadsheets.

Our stack: Python, PostgreSQL, AWS and Kubernetes.

3. Month 3Lead a project with the AI team to make the data behind an AI feature cleaner and easier to use.

How you’ll live our values

• See it. Own it.When a scorecard number looks wrong, you trace it back to the source and fix it, even if the bug lives in someone else’s code.
• Learn. Improve. Repeat.You watch how teams use their numbers, see where the data lets them down, and make each pipeline better.
• Say the hard thing.If the data can’t support a feature or a report, you say so early, before anyone builds on a number we can’t trust.
• Stay until they win.A pipeline isn’t done when it runs. It’s done when an owner can trust the numbers in their weekly meeting.
