Data Platform Engineer

About the Role

At Houseware, the role of the Data Platform Engineer is to build the foundations of a warehouse-native revenue experience engine. You are expected to take ownership of problems end to end - this would include communicating with the stakeholders, setting the right expectations, and ensuring top quality for the code & the product being shipped.

We are hell-bent on building a forward-looking product, something that constantly pushes us to think by first principles and question assumptions, building a team that is agile in adapting and ever curious. While fast-paced execution is one of the prerequisites in this role, equally important is the ability to pause and take stock of where product and engineering is heading from a long-term perspective. We expect your initiative to shine through here as you continuously navigate through ambiguous waters while working with vigor on open-ended questions - all to solve problems for and empathize with our users.
