You will join a team that values thoughtful architecture, engineering rigor, and operational ownership. We collaborate with engineering, product, analytics, finance, and business teams to turn complex requirements into dependable, reusable data assets. We welcome strong engineers who are curious about the business and eager to solve problems across diverse domains.

You will build extensible data foundations that accommodate new AI tools, products, cost categories, and enterprise systems while maintaining clear definitions, traceability, and reliable historical data.
