## About the role

Our Engineering organization owns the software that makes our marketplace work. The Data Platform group supports everyone at Faire who depends on data: Product Engineering, Data Science, Machine Learning, Analytics, Strategy, Finance, and Product. Our job is to make sure the data is there, it's right, and people can find it and query it without having to think about the plumbing underneath. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- You've built and run data infrastructure that other teams depended on, at meaningful scale, and you've been the person setting direction for it, not just working on it
- Deep experience with change data capture and streaming ingestion from operational databases through Kafka. You know what goes wrong with ordering, duplicates, snapshots, and schema evolution because you've dealt with it
- Hands-on experience with lakehouse architectures on an open table format. Iceberg on S3 is what we use, so that's especially valuable. You should be comfortable talking about partitioning, compaction, catalogs, and copy-on-write versus merge-on-read
- Strong Spark skills, and experience running Databricks and Snowflake against shared storage
- Experience with data quality and observability in practice, including data contracts, SLAs, and tools like Anomalo or Monte Carlo
- Experience operating Airflow at scale and working with managed ingestion like Fivetran
