The Role
At Mighty Networks, we’re looking for a Data Engineer to join our growing Foundations organization.
In this role, you’ll design and maintain the data pipelines that connect our product, marketing, CRM, and finance systems into a unified warehouse — ensuring that every team has access to accurate, timely, and meaningful insights. You’ll collaborate deeply with engineers, analysts, and business partners to make data more accessible, self-service, and actionable.
 
What You’ll Do
  • Design, build, and maintain data pipelines that integrate multiple systems (application, marketing, CRM, finance) into a central data warehouse.
  • Develop and manage data models and transformations using dbt, ensuring clear lineage, testing, and documentation.
  • Implement and monitor data orchestration workflows (dbt, Airflow, or AWS tools like Kinesis) for reliability and freshness.
  • Partner with application engineers (e.g., in a Ruby on Rails environment) to define and capture analytics events and improve data collection.
  • Maintain data quality, consistency, and validation — identifying anomalies and ensuring trustworthy outputs.
  • Use SQL (Postgres, Snowflake) and Python for analysis, debugging, and automation.
  • Collaborate with third-party partners such as Sundial and data vendors to integrate external data sources effectively.
  • Drive adoption of self-service analytics, enabling product, marketing, and finance teams to independently explore and use data.
  • Champion data best practices — from documentation and transparency to governance and reproducibility.
  • Leverage AI-assisted tools for data discovery, documentation, and code generation to accelerate development and improve data quality.
  • Experiment with AI-powered analytics and automation to surface insights faster and enhance self-service data experiences across teams.

What We’re Looking For
  • 5+ years of experience as a Data Engineer or similar role in analytics or data infrastructure.
  • Proven expertise with SQL (especially Postgres and Snowflake) for data modeling, validation, and analysis.
  • Experience with dbt and modern data orchestration tools (Airflow, AWS Kinesis, etc.).
  • Strong understanding of data modeling principles — fact/dimension design, normalization vs. denormalization, and schema optimization.
  • Proficiency in Python for data manipulation, testing, and pipeline automation.
  • Hands-on experience with AWS data tools and cloud-native data ecosystems.
  • Demonstrated ability to partner cross-functionally with engineering, analytics, finance, and marketing teams.
  • Excellent communication and documentation skills — able to make complex data systems understandable and accessible.
  • A rigorous, skeptical approach to data analysis: you validate, cross-check, and verify before drawing conclusions.
  • Curiosity about emerging AI technologies and how they can optimize data engineering workflows, analytics, and business intelligence.
  • Comfort using AI coding assistants or LLM-powered tools (e.g., for SQL generation, dbt documentation, or debugging) as part of your development process
  • Passion for building self-service data solutions that empower others to be data-informed.
  • Bonus: Experience integrating systems like HubSpot, Stripe, or marketing automation platforms.

Who You Are
  • You’re passionate about data integrity and clarity, and you believe good data work is about trust as much as technology.
  • You thrive on collaboration, working across teams to make sure everyone can use data effectively and confidently.
  • You enjoy bringing structure to chaos, automating the boring stuff, and building systems that scale gracefully.
  • You’re excited to explore how AI can elevate data engineering — from smarter transformations to predictive insights and automation.
  • You’re methodical and a bit skeptical — the kind of person who says “interesting” and then tries to falsify the result before celebrating an insight.
  • You have a growth mindset, love learning, and are eager to push the boundaries of what great data systems can do.
  • You take advantage of AI tools to develop efficiently and cross boundaries you couldn’t alone.
  • Finally, you’re a data culture advocate, helping others become more data-informed and driving the company toward better decision-making.
 
Compensation: The base salary for this role ranges from 60,000–$100,000 USD, with exact compensation based on location, experience, and cost of living.
