Maintain streaming and batch workflows that process transaction, settlement, refund, and chargeback events with tight SLOs for latency and accuracy. Deliver finance-grade data products. Create canonical financial models that power seller statements, 1099/1099-K tax reporting, revenue recognition, and SEC/SOX compliance. Raise the bar on data quality.

Have 3+ years of experience as a data or software engineer working with high-volume payments or fintech data. Turn complex financial datasets into reliable, documented, discoverable data products. Understand data modeling techniques (Data Vault, Kimball, dimensional, double-entry ledger) and apply the right one for the job. Bring hands-on expertise with modern data tooling—ingestion, testing, transformation, orchestration, lineage, and semantic layers. Have managed and optimized cloud data warehouses such as Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift for finance-grade workloads. Enjoy collaborating with cross-functional partners and can translate technical constraints into business value. Thrive as a self-starter in a fast-moving environment and communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
