About Mill

Mill is the smartest device in your kitchen. Mill turns would-be food waste into resources for the Earth. Keep filling it for weeks. Backed by GV.

About the role

As a Data Engineer at Mill, you'll build and maintain the core data infrastructure that powers analytics and product data across the company — ingestion pipelines, warehouse modeling, data quality, and the self-serve analytics platform (Hex + Snowflake) our business teams rely on. You'll work closely with the Senior Data Engineer owning our recommendations platform, contributing to and supporting that work as needed, with the opportunity to grow into deeper recommendation/LLM-based work over time.

What they're looking for

  • 3-5 years of experience operating data engineering systems in production
  • Have built and operated data pipelines in production using Python, SQL, and tools like dbt, Airflow, Fivetran, or similar against a cloud data warehouse (e.g., Snowflake)
  • Have used Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform, Pulumi) to provision and manage data infrastructure, with CI/CD discipline for pipeline and infra changes (automated testing, staged rollout, rollback)
  • Experience working with transactional databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, Amazon RDS) as a data source, including understanding how OLTP systems differ from warehouse/analytical workloads
  • Comfort working in a collaborative environment where data consumers are partners, not just stakeholders, and comfort moving between different types of work as priorities shift
  • A bias toward action

Mill is a waste prevention technology company reimagining what it means to eliminate waste, starting with food. We build smart systems and infrastructure for homes, businesses, and municipalities that transform food scraps from landfill-bound waste into valuable resources, including chicken feed. Tens of thousands of Mill’s residential food recyclers are already helping households divert millions of pounds of food scraps every year, paving the way for our upcoming launch of Mill Commercial—the industry’s first end-to-end solution for managing, understanding, and preventing food waste in commercial environments (e.g. grocery, restaurants, food services). At Mill, we are passionate about building easy-to-use, beautifully designed technologies that keep food in the food system and out of landfills.
