## About the role

As a Data Engineer at Serval, you'll be our first dedicated data hire, which means you'll own the entire data stack from day one and build the data function that serves the whole business. Right now our data lives across many systems for many teams: in-product, CRM, marketing, billing, support, finance, and more.

## What they're looking for

- 5+ years of experience in data engineering and business analytics, with hands-on experience building and maintaining data warehouses and pipelines
- Expert SQL, including hands-on experience with PostgreSQL, and strong Python for pipeline development, scripting, and tooling
- Experience standing up a modern data warehouse or lakehouse from scratch (Snowflake, Databricks, or comparable) and building the ETL/ELT pipelines transform data into usable production databases using a modern stack (e.g.m Fivetran, DBT)
- Hands-on experience with AWS and infrastructure as code (Terraform) for managing cloud data infrastructure
- Track record of owning data projects end to end and exercising sound judgment independently, ideally as an early or first data hire
- Strong product intuition and business curiosity: you can translate business questions into clean, usable data models, know what's worth measuring, and collaborate with a wide variety of technical & non-technical stakeholders
