## About the role

The data platform in this role is what our go-to-market and product decisions run on. You'll own the pipelines, integrations, and central repository that bring Stream's data together, plus the models that turn it into something the business can trust. We're mid-migration to GCP, so there's real architecture to shape.

## What they're looking for

- 5+ years building and operating production data platforms
- Expert SQL and strong Python
- Experience designing incremental, idempotent, well-tested pipelines
- Solid experience with BigQuery or another modern cloud data warehouse
- Experience with modern ELT tooling such as SQLMesh, dbt, dltHub, Fivetran, or Airbyte
- Experience with orchestration and CI/CD (GitHub Actions, Airflow, or equivalent)
