Role Overview

We are seeking a seasoned Data Engineer to join our Engineering team for 6 months as a contractor. You will design, build, and operate the data platform that powers analytics, research, and product decisions across the organization. This is a hands-on role for someone who is equally comfortable modeling complex datasets, engineering resilient pipelines, and managing the underlying cloud infrastructure. You will own systems from ingestion and transformation through to the warehouse layer, and you will set the standards that keep our data trustworthy. Beyond building, you will partner closely with analytics, product, and platform teams to define how data moves through the organization and to raise the bar for reliability, quality, and governance.
