What You Will Do
- Design and execute frameworks for data quality assurance and validation
- Collaborate across the organization to implement new features, support internal stakeholders, and investigate and improve data infrastructure.
- Partner with the Sr. Engineer, Quantitative Modeler, and Solutions Architect to ensure data feeding the product and financial models is validated and launch-ready
- Participate in stand-ups and other milestone meetings to maintain momentum and alignment across the team.
- Serve as the data quality checkpoint between vendor data ingestion and product delivery, catching issues before they surface downstream
- Establish data quality monitoring and documentation to support the pipeline post-launch
- Surface data quality risks and vendor issues to the Director of Engineering in time to inform launch decisions
- Manage external data vendor relationships and ensure ongoing data quality and validation
What You Will Need
- Python coding for production systems (modular code, not jupyter notebooks)
- Git workflow and collaborative code review
- Docker images and container build tooling
- Data validation and verification pipeline design, including automated testing
- Data quality assessment and solution feasibility analysis
- Data exploration and engineering tools: pandas, SQL, and similar
- DAG-based ETL orchestration (Prefect or similar)
- AWS, especially S3
- Prefect workflow jobs and ETL
- Python (with heavy use of Pydantic and pytest)
- Snowflake and Postgresql SQL
- Temporal durable execution engine
Jupiter’s Tech Stack
What Sets You Apart
- 3+ years of experience in data engineering, data quality, or analytics engineering roles
- Bachelor’s degree in computer science, statistics, or a related field. Equivalent practical experience also considered.
- Experience managing or coordinating with external data vendors, including data quality troubleshooting
- Experience working in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment, ideally supporting a product launch or similar high-stakes delivery
- Experience partnering with quantitative or financial roles (e.g., financial modeling, data science) or experience in climate tech strongly considered.
