## About the role

Creating an investable index from a conversation with AI isn't a traditional data engineering problem. Every investment methodology we generate depends on high-quality, continuously evolving data flowing reliably across hundreds of sources, pipelines, and systems. We're looking for a Staff Data Engineer who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys building large-scale data platforms, and wants to define how AI-native investing is powered behind the scenes.

## What they're looking for

- You've spent years building production data platforms, not just ETL pipelines, and understand the difference
- You naturally think about how data enables products, not just how it's stored
- You have strong engineering fundamentals and are comfortable designing distributed data systems at scale
- You're able to simplify complex data architectures into systems that are reliable, maintainable, and easy to extend
- You understand that trustworthy AI starts with trustworthy data
- You communicate technical ideas clearly and enjoy working closely with engineers, AI researchers, and founders
