What You Will Be Part Of

We’re looking for a highly capable, hands-on Data Engineer to help build the foundation for Radix’s next generation of data and AI products.

What You Will Achieve

• Design, build, and maintain scalable ETL/ELT pipelines that ingest data from files, databases, APIs, and third-party systems into trusted, analytics-ready data products.

• Own the reliability, performance, governance, and cost optimization of Radix's Databricks-based data platform, including orchestration, data quality, observability, and root cause analysis.

• Build and maintain robust dbt models, testing frameworks, documentation, schema contracts, and semantic-layer assets that create trusted, scalable data products.

• Define and enforce data contracts, metric definitions, and modeling standards that support consistent use across analytics, product, and AI applications.

• Partner across teams to design reliable, governed data interfaces and ensure downstream consumers can confidently use and trust the data they depend on.

• Help build the semantic layer and AI data infrastructure that powers conversational analytics, LLM-driven experiences, and agentic workflows.

• Design and maintain metadata, business definitions, evaluation frameworks, and governance guardrails that improve the trustworthiness of AI-generated insights.

• Build and maintain infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and deployment practices that enable reliable and scalable data platform operations.

• Improve developer experience through better tooling, local development workflows, testing practices, environment consistency, and deployment confidence.

• Implement production-grade monitoring, lineage, anomaly detection, alerting, and operational processes that proactively identify and resolve data issues.

• Create documentation, runbooks, and operational playbooks that improve platform supportability, knowledge sharing, and long-term scalability.

• Operate as a highly collaborative technical leader who aligns stakeholders, documents decisions, and helps drive a reliable, scalable, and AI-ready data ecosystem.

What Makes You a Strong Fit

• 5+ years of experience in Data Engineering, Analytics Engineering, or a related field, with hands-on responsibility for production data platforms and pipelines.

• Deep expertise with Databricks (or similar modern data platforms), dbt, SQL, Python, and scalable data modeling, including governance, testing, documentation, and semantic layers.

• Experience building and maintaining reliable data pipelines from relational databases, document stores, and object storage using modern table formats such as Delta Lake, Iceberg, and Parquet.

• Strong understanding of cloud-based data infrastructure, including AWS, Terraform, CI/CD, orchestration platforms (Dagster, Airflow, or similar), observability, monitoring, lineage, and data quality frameworks.

• Comfortable working in hybrid-cloud environments and making sound decisions around architecture, performance, cost optimization, reliability, and operational readiness.

• Able to trace and resolve data issues end-to-end, implement effective data contracts, and identify risks or anti-patterns in modeling, pipeline design, and system operations before they become problems.

• Comfortable navigating ambiguity, simplifying complex systems, and improving data quality and engineering practices without slowing delivery.

• Actively leverage AI tools and understand how modern development practices, automation, and agentic workflows can improve engineering productivity while maintaining trust, accuracy, and governance.

• Familiar with designing data platforms that support analytics, applications, and AI use cases through clean ontologies, predictable schemas, semantic layers, and trustworthy metrics.

• Hands-on builder who leads through technical credibility, strong communication, collaboration, and sound judgment rather than authority.

• High ownership mindset with a track record of delivering meaningful improvements in fast-moving, evolving environments.

• Excited by the opportunity to build reliable, understandable, and scalable data systems that create measurable value for humans, applications, and AI agents.
