- Partner with client executives and non-technical stakeholders to shape project scope, estimate effort, incorporate feedback, and deliver outcomes in collaboration with Product and Engagement teams
- Operate autonomously within small teams, influencing architectural and delivery standards with direct client impact

## ABOUT YOU

- Comfortable navigating technical and non-technical audiences in fast-moving, ambiguous settings. You value collaboration, iterative problem-solving, and constructive feedback.
- Have the grit to own an engagement end-to-end, from discovery to delivery, with a mindset similar to a founder or technical lead.
- A pragmatic builder with a rigorous analytical approach, especially around large-scale data operations. - You’re hands-on and code-first, with a systems-level understanding of how pieces fit together.

## REQUIREMENTS

- 6+ years of full-stack engineering experience, including direct collaboration with enterprise clients and cross-functional teams
- Familiarity with JavaScript and backend technologies such as SQL (PostgreSQL preferred), along with strong programming skills in Python
- Hands-on experience with data platforms and pipeline tools in an AWS environment, including Airflow, AWS EMR, EKS, and custom ETL workflows
