## About the role

Snout is one of the fastest growing wellness plan providers in the veterinary space, trusted by clinics across the U.S. We’re a small but mighty startup team. We’re looking for a remote, U.S. based Founding Data Engineer to build the data foundation the rest of the company will run on.

## What they're looking for

- 6+ years building and maintaining production data systems as a data or analytics engineer
- Deep SQL and hands-on PostgreSQL experience
- Strong dbt and dimensional/data-modeling experience in production — you’ve built warehouses people actually trust
- A track record of taming large, messy datasets from multiple source systems and turning them into something coherent
- Strong communication: you can make a clear recommendation, back it with reasoning and cost, and commit wholeheartedly to a decision even when it isn’t the one you argued for
- Comfortable being the first and only data person for a while — self-directed, and happy building the foundation before there’s a team
