About TaskRabbit

Our same-day service platform instantly connects you with skilled Taskers to help with cleaning, furniture assembly, home repairs, running errands and more. Backed by Lightspeed and 500 Global.

About the role

We're hiring a Staff Data Engineer to build the data foundation for a new discovery-stage team focused on Taskrabbit client retention and personalization. The team's mandate is to turn our biggest unaddressed retention bet — predicting what home service a client will need and when, then reaching them proactively — from concept into validated, in-market tests.

What they're looking for

  • Experience building and maintaining ELT data pipelines using modern tools such as dbt, Airflow, and Fivetran
  • Experience with a cloud data warehouse such as Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift
  • Solid data modeling skills (e.g., dimensional modeling, star/snowflake schemas)
  • Proficient in SQL and at least one general-purpose programming language (e.g., Python, Java, or Scala)
  • Regularly use AI coding assistants (e.g., Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code) in your day-to-day work, and know how to prompt, review, and validate AI-generated code rather than just accept it
  • Comfortable with ambiguity — this is a discovery-stage team proving out new bets, not a mature, fully-scoped platform
