Data Engineer (First Data Hire)

Who you are

• You're a generalist who is willing to build the foundation of our data stack, which may involve some software engineering, data engineering, devops and data analysis
• You're happy to be autonomous, making pragmatic decisions for yourself
• You're curious - if something doesn't work you figure it out, you don't depend on others to fix things for you
• You have related production experience with building a data stack from scratch

What the job involves

• 0→1: Building the foundation for data products at Alguna - this includes both internal analytics and customer facing data products
• Collaborating: We’re remote but highly collaborative in nature
• Shipping value: We’re in the early stages of building the product, so we need to get features out there, get feedback, and iterate
• Improving our internal developer experience: In order to allow us all to be efficient
• Not just writing code: We write proposals to gather feedback on upcoming work and document our decisions
• Being pragmatic: Given we’re still finding product-market fit, we will need to make tradeoffs with what we ship, and it’s not always going to be polished
