Data Engineer

🚀 Data Engineer (Real-Time) – Fully Remote (US)

We’re working with a fast-growing Series B data infrastructure company ($70M+ funding) that’s redefining how developers build with real-time data.

This is a rare opportunity to join a high-impact, product-driven team where engineers don’t just build systems—they shape how customers solve complex data problems at scale.

 

🌍 Why this role stands out

This isn’t a traditional Data Engineer position.

You’ll operate at the intersection of:

• Data engineering
• Architecture & performance optimisation
• Customer-facing problem solving

You’ll work directly with innovative companies, helping them design and scale real-time data products handling millions to billions of events.

• Work from anywhere in the US
• Set your own schedule (early mornings, late nights—whatever works for you)
• Unlimited PTO (with a strong culture of actually taking time off)
• Remote-first with optional global offsites

There’s no micromanagement here—just high ownership and high trust.

 

🧠 What you’ll be Doing

• Designing scalable data architectures for real-world use cases
• Solving complex performance and latency challenges
• Writing and optimising high-performance SQL
• Building prototypes to demonstrate solutions
• Guiding customers through onboarding and growth
• Influencing product direction through real customer insights

 

🛠️ What they’re Looking for

• Strong SQL skills (this is critical)
• Clickhouse is desirable but not essential!
• Experience working with large-scale data systems
• Curiosity and a problem-solving mindset
• Ability to explain technical concepts clearly
• Comfortable working with customers or stakeholders

 

🌱 Who thrives here

• Engineers who learn fast and enjoy solving new problems
• People who like ownership and visible impact
• Those who prefer flexibility over rigid structure
• Individuals who enjoy working closely with users/customers

• Home office setup support
• Regular international offsites
