## About the role

Every new data source starts as someone else's problem: an API with rate limits, a vendor file that arrives late and gets corrected twice, a schema that changes without warning. Today, adding a new vendor feed still takes hand-built work. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Typically three or more years building and supporting production data pipelines, or equivalent ownership
- You've brought in data from many vendors and source types, including messy data at scale, and kept it running after launch
- Practical judgment about incremental processing, backfills, failures and cost. You can show the data stayed correct as volume grew
- You've automated repeated work or built components other engineers actually used
- Strong Python and SQL
- You pin down what a source owner actually needs, and you write down what you will and won't support
