About the role
We're hiring a Principal Data Engineer to set the technical direction for data at Hims & Hers. This is the most senior individual contributor role in Data Platform Engineering (DPE), and the scope is deliberately larger than DPE: the architecture you define determines how Software Engineering, Analytics Engineering, and Data Science build on data for millions of patients across our Telehealth, prescription, and wellness products.
What they're looking for
- 15+ years building and owning data platform architecture, with a record of decisions whose consequences you stayed to live with, ideally across multiple companies or multiple platform generations
- Evidence you've set technical direction for organizations you didn't manage, and got adoption through credibility rather than reporting lines
- Experience defining the edges of your own architectural authority. Ambiguity about where your mandate ends should not stall you
- Deep GCP and BigQuery expertise, plus real operational fluency in AWS (our Airflow runs on EKS). Multicloud is the job here, not a bonus
- Modern data stack at platform scale: governing dbt across teams, Airflow/Astronomer, Kafka/Confluent, Databricks/Spark, Fivetran, and reverse ETL or activation platforms such as Hightouch
- Event streaming in production at scale, including Schema Registry, data contracts, consumer lag management, and delivery semantics along with what they actually cost. Bonus if you've personally made the analytics versus production streaming call
