Job description

Referral Eligible


Zapata Technology is hiring a Software / Data Engineer to own and modernize a mission-critical data ecosystem. This is not a “run the pipeline” role — this is a build the next generation data platform role. You’ll take an environment currently powered by custom ASP.NET apps, Postgres stored procedures, and legacy VBA scripts and architect the transition to modern, scalable ETL and orchestration frameworks like Apache NiFi and Airflow. If you enjoy untangling complex data systems, designing clean pipelines, and turning “it works but no one knows how” into “it’s automated, documented, and scalable” — this role is for you.


100% Remote


What You’ll Actually Do (Job Functions)

  • Own the design and evolution of our ETL and data pipeline architecture
  • Replace fragile VBA and ad-hoc scripts with robust, testable data workflows
  • Design high-performance Postgres data models, queries, and stored procedures
  • Build ingestion and transformation services using Python, ASP.NET, and SQL
  • Lead the migration from custom ETL processes to modern tools (NiFi, Airflow)
  • Create data pipelines that power analytics, reporting, and operational systems
  • Improve data quality, observability, and governance across the platform
  • Partner with stakeholders to translate messy requirements into clean data solutions
  • Document and automate everything so the system scales beyond any one person


The Environment Today

  • Custom ASP.NET data ingestion apps
  • Heavy Postgres logic and stored procedures
  • Legacy VBA automation that needs to be retired
  • Growing need for cloud migration and modern orchestration


The Environment You’ll Help Build

  • Python-driven pipelines
  • Apache NiFi / Airflow orchestration
  • Clean Postgres architecture
  • AWS-based data infrastructure
  • Scalable, observable ETL workflows


What We’re Looking For (Job Requirements)

  • Strong experience building ETL/data pipelines without relying solely on ETL tools
  • Deep SQL and Postgres performance tuning experience
  • Experience writing data services in Python, C#, or ASP.NET
  • Experience modernizing legacy data environments
  • Comfort owning architecture decisions and working independently
  • Experience migrating systems to AWS
  • Familiarity with Spark, Databricks, or distributed processing is a plus
  • Shell scripting and automation experience
  • Experience working in Agile teams
  • 4+ years of software or data engineering experience
  • Strong SQL and database design background
  • Experience building and maintaining ETL processes


Why Engineers Like This Role

  • You get real ownership of architecture decisions
  • You are hired to modernize, not maintain
  • High impact, visible work that affects the entire organization
  • Freedom to introduce modern tooling and best practices
  • Remote flexibility with a team that values autonomy
  • A rare opportunity to rebuild a data platform the right way


Position Type

Full time position


Clearance:

This position requires an active Secret clearance with the ability to obtain TS/SCI.
