Data Engineer at Ooak Data

About the role

What will you do at Ooak Data?

First full-time data engineer hire (CDI) at Ooak Data (YC S26). The core challenge is two-fold: (1) scaling the data anonymization pipeline (currently ~2 weeks per client, needs to get faster as POs come in for delivery), and (2) building the fine-tuning/adaptation platform — a local-model training infrastructure with automated data selection. They collect enterprise data across 50+ source types and need serious data engineering to make it usable for frontier AI lab training.
