Full Job Description
As a Senior Software Engineer, Data, you will design, build, and operate the next generation of our data platform and products - going beyond ID to power a networked digital identity - while keeping member privacy, security, and reliability at the core. What you'll do: • Build and operate scalable, reliable data systems and pipelines - from ingestion to modeling to visualization - so Analysts and Engineers can self-service changes in an automated, tested, secure, and high-quality manner. • Develop and maintain end-to-end data products and pipelines (batch and/or streaming) that collect, clean, transform, and model data, and own the infrastructure that powers them to unlock new business use cases and reporting. • Implement and maintain infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, and shared developer tooling for data products (e.g., Pulumi/Terraform, GitHub, orchestration tools like Dagster/Airflow) to make it easy and safe for teams to build, test, and ship changes across environments. • Improve the security, compliance, and cost posture of the data stack through robust dependency management, IAM and secrets hardening, observability, and performance/cost optimizations. • Partner with product and other stakeholders to uncover requirements, make architectural decisions, and continuously improve our data platform and processes. How you'll measure success: • Data reliability & SLAs: % successful pipeline runs, adherence to freshness SLAs for core datasets, and reduction in data-related incidents impacting stakeholders. • Platform quality & efficiency: Reduction in critical/high security and dependency findings, improvements in IAM/secrets posture, and optimizations to infrastructure and job run costs. • Delivery throughput & self-service enablement: Lead time from request to production for new data sources and models, adoption and effectiveness of self-service tooling, reduction in manual engineering support for common workflows, and on-time delivery of roadmap initiatives. What you're great at: • 6+ years of data engineering experience with strong Python and SQL skills, including designing and operating scalable batch and/or streaming data pipelines and orchestration (e.g., Dagster, Airflow, Luigi, dbt, Snowflake, Spark, Kafka, Databricks, or similar technologies). • Working with cloud-based application development and data platforms, including AWS services, modern data warehouses (e.g., Snowflake), evaluating different data platform integration tooling (e.g. APIs, CDC, batch ingestion, streaming) and collaboration/integration tools like GitHub, Argo, Jenkins, or equivalent. • Designing and implementing robust data models and transformations in the data warehouse (e.g., dbt, Snowflake) as well as self-service tooling for the other members of the data platform team. • Articulating technical concepts to mixed technical and non-technical audiences, collaborating across teams, mentoring less experienced engineers, and maintaining clarity in ambiguous problem spaces. • Demonstrating curiosity about technology, a bias toward continuous learning, and a strong sense of ownership over architecture, quality, and process improvements in a fast-moving environment. How You'll be Rewarded: At CLEAR we help YOU move forward - because when you're at your best, we're at our best. You'll work with talented team members who are motivated by our mission of making experiences safer and easier. In our offices, you'll enjoy benefits like meals and snacks. We invest in your well-being and learning & development with our stipend and reimbursement programs. We offer holistic total rewards, including comprehensive healthcare plans, family building benefits (fertility and adoption/surrogacy support), flexible time off, free OneMedical memberships for you and your dependents, and a 401(k) retirement plan with employer match.
