About the role

The Data Platform team powers Pantheon’s data infrastructure and delivers analytics across the company. We’ve built a robust, configuration-driven data platform that handles extraction, ingestion, curation, compliance, security, and enterprise-wide access to data — and we’re looking for a Staff Software Engineer to take it to the next level.

What they're looking for

  • Distributed data systems: deep understanding of processing large-scale datasets across distributed systems, with a clear grasp of the trade-offs in designing for high throughput and low latency
  • Data modeling and architecture: ability to design, implement, and optimize scalable data models (dimensional, normalized) for both OLAP and OLTP systems, ensuring data integrity and query performance
  • Data governance & observability: experience with data governance frameworks, data catalogs, and observability tooling that keep large-scale data assets discoverable, trusted, and compliant
  • Technical leadership: experience setting technical direction for a platform or team, translating ambiguous requirements into clear architecture, and mentoring other engineers
  • Customer/product focus: an understanding of the direct and indirect business value of your work, ensuring data solutions align with company-wide goals and deliver impact for internal and external customers
  • Communication: the ability to clearly articulate technical designs, project status, and risk to both technical peers and non-technical stakeholders, while remaining open to others’ ideas
