## About the role

Courtyard is hiring a Staff Data Engineer to own the data foundation our pricing runs on. We price and buy back assets in real time off a fragmented external market, and turning that into something a model can safely consume is the data problem here. You'll be the senior-most data engineering voice in a lean data org — owning architecture and standards, not working a ticket queue.

## What they're looking for

- 5+ years in data engineering with real production pipeline ownership, at senior or staff scope
- Experience taming third-party data at volume — unstable sources, schema drift, no advance notice
- Entity resolution in practice, including the judgment to know when a confident match is wrong
- Deep SQL and Python, production dbt with tests and incremental models you actually maintained
- Strong dimensional modeling — SCD Type 2, incremental loads, backfills, late-arriving data
- Cloud warehouse depth. We run BigQuery and GCP, Redshift, and dbt
