About Taiv

AI-powered tech that makes business TV smarter, engaging, and…. Backed by Y Combinator.

About the role

Taiv runs on data from tens of thousands of devices in the field, the ads we serve, the venues and advertisers on the platform, and the output of our in-house computer vision models. We're hiring a Senior Data Engineer to own how that data is modeled, moved, and reported on. You'll standardize our data models, build and run the ETL pipelines that feed them, and own the reporting layer that engineering and the business rely on. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • You've built a data function before, or been early enough at one to know what the first six months of decisions look like. You've seen how early choices about data models either pay off for years or get rebuilt, and you have opinions about which is which
  • You are hands-on. You write the SQL, you build the pipeline, you debug the job that failed. You'd rather build the thing than write a doc about building it
  • You think about data in terms of the questions it needs to answer. Before you build a table, you know who will use it and what decision it drives
  • You can work with people who aren't data people. You can sit with an engineering lead or a salesperson, figure out what they actually need, and translate that into something concrete
  • You hold a high bar for correctness. A dashboard that's wrong is worse than no dashboard, and you treat data quality as an engineering problem with tests and monitoring, not a cleanup task
  • You are comfortable with ambiguity. You'll set the direction for data at Taiv, and you want that kind of ownership
