CaliforniaData EngineeringRemote5+ YOE
Summary

Builds semantic layers with dbt/SQL, agent tooling for autonomous data querying across Athena/Salesforce, and infrastructure for AI-driven insights on usage-based SaaS metrics. Requires 5+ years in data/AI engineering, SQL/Python mastery, and RAG/agentic systems experience.

About the role

Key Responsibilities

  • Semantic Layer Architecture: Build and maintain high-fidelity dbt and SQL models that serve as the "ground truth" for our complex, usage-based revenue models.
  • Agent Tooling & Integration: Develop the tools and permissions frameworks that allow "Analyst Agents" to query Athena, correlate Salesforce churn signals, and identify API latency issues.
  • Infrastructure Evolution: Serve as the technical bridge to the Engineering/Infra team to ensure our data contracts are "agent-ready" and highly reliable.
  • The "Unlock Audio Intelligence" Project: Partner with the Head of Data to ingest thousands of hours of internal calls using Deepgram’s own models, turning unstructured audio into queryable insights for GTM teams.
  • Automation Obsession: Maintain a culture where manual, repetitive SQL tasks are viewed as automation bugs to be solved with code and agents.

Requirements

  • Experience: 5+ years in high-growth Data or AI Engineering roles.
  • AI-Native Technical Skills: Mastery of SQL and Python (production-grade) with a proven track record of building RAG or Agentic systems on top of structured data.
  • Usage-Based SaaS Fluency: Familiarity with the metrics of an API-first business, such as consumption patterns, gross margins, and NRR.
  • Builder Mindset: Comfort with "work-in-progress" infrastructure and the ability to turn messy, siloed data into high-impact business logic.

Bonus Points

  • Prior experience as a Software Engineer or Data Engineer.
  • Experience with real-time billing and consumption systems.
  • Contributions to open-source data or AI projects.
