About the role
What will you do at Enigma?
THE OPPORTUNITY
This is an exciting time at Enigma. We’re on the cusp of releasing our next
generation of small business intelligence products built on years of learnings
in the space. We are seeking an experienced Senior Data Engineer to join our
team and help shape the trajectory of these products. Your work will directly
impact the accuracy, scalability, and predictive capabilities of our data
platform, influencing key business decisions for our customers.
THE ROLE
As a Senior Data Engineer, you will be responsible for designing, building, and
maintaining our core small business data product. You will collaborate with
cross-functional teams to build out new product capabilities starting from raw
source data, through scalable data pipelines and models to the customer
interface. We embrace customer focus and end-to-end ownership so your impact
will be measured by the value we deliver and the technical quality and
maintainability of our product.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
* Understand the unmet needs of our customers and create capabilities to
address these. This usually involves a process of exploring data,
prototyping, and evaluation, followed by the build of robust and maintainable
data pipelines.
* Engineer scalable and maintainable data systems that tell the story of
millions of U.S. small businesses (we use Databricks SQL, PySpark, and
MLFlow).
* You’ll be building on top of our innovative data infrastructure that’s
designed for iteration and experimentation (uses Dagster for orchestration
and LakeFS for data versioning).
* Apply a data-focused, first-principles approach to problem solving. We value
candidates who bias towards simple and elegant solutions but have the
capability to implement state-of-the-art models and techniques when required.
* Inspire your teammates to perform at their best while fostering a
collaborative, supportive team culture.
WHAT MAKES THIS ROLE EXCITING?
* Ownership and Impact: Work directly with customers and internal teams to
build product capabilities in an environment of high-trust and
responsibility.
* Technical Challenge: Tackle complex data and engineering problems, balancing
speed of innovation with scalability and reliability.
* Learning: Work on unique, high-impact data challenges that require creative
problem-solving and cutting-edge techniques.
OUR IDEAL CANDIDATE
* Must have 5+ years of engineering or data science experience, including 3+
years working on distributed data systems.
* Has practical experience extracting value from data in a creative way to
deliver customer impact.
* Cares deeply about creating value and wants to learn, ship, and iterate
quickly.
* Strong collaboration skills and a desire to work in a cross-functional
environment.
* A principled, metrics-driven approach to solving complex data problems.
BONUS POINTS IF YOU
* Have built data products in the entity resolution, sales, marketing, KYB, or
credit underwriting space.
* Prior experience in Python, Spark and Databricks.
