What you'll do
- Build the pipelines that pull data out of ERP, CRM, and accounting systems and keep it moving: ingestion, processing, and storage.

- Build and manage the training and evaluation datasets the models learn from and are judged on.
- Run it in production at enterprise scale. Reliability is yours.
- Document it and hand it off so the client's team can run it on their own.
What you'll need
Experience matters here. We judge it by what you've shipped and kept running, not by a number of years.
- You've built and run data pipelines in production, including when they broke.
- You write Python and SQL well and have worked with a warehouse or lakehouse such as Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, or Postgres.
- You've made sense of messy data from systems you didn't design.
- You've built data for an ML or LLM system: training sets, eval sets, or retrieval.
- You use AI coding tools every day and judge the result by the system and its output, not the language.
Nice to have
Apply even if none of these are true.
- You've built on or integrated with an ERP, CRM, or accounting system.
- You've built data quality or lineage tooling other people relied on.
- You've done consulting, agency, or forward-deployed work and know how to be useful in someone else's building on day two.
How we hire
- A 30-minute conversation with the team about what you've shipped and what we're building.
- A technical deep-dive on one system you owned, from the business problem to production.
- A working session on a real client problem with the team.
- References, then an offer. We aim to finish in two weeks.
