Design flexible schemas that can absorb data from many different sources
Partner with data consumers across Plato to understand usage patterns and design intuitive data models
Write and deploy high-performance transformations within our data warehouse

Read the full description (8 more sections)Show less
Hands-on experience with SQL, data warehouses (e.g. Databricks or Snowflake), and data transformation workflows (e.g. dbt)
Solid grounding in both software engineering practices and data engineering principles
A strong analytics background - comfortable preparing aggregates in a business context and reasoning through stakeholder logic
An experimental, launch-fast-and-iterate mindset, genuinely interested in how data engineering powers customer-facing analytics
Nice-to-haves: Experience at a high-growth tech startup
Familiarity with our stack: Python, PySpark, Terraform, AWS, Databricks, dbt, StarRocks
Why us? You'll join Plato's data team with real ownership over how our data platform, warehouse, and infrastructure evolve - much of it is still being built, so there's genuine room to shape the architecture rather than just maintain it. Your work will directly power the forecasts and recommendations that C-suite executives at some of the largest wholesale and distribution businesses rely on to run a $48tn industry. You'll build with a modern stack (Databricks, dbt, Terraform) and full ownership over how it's built, backed by investors and advisors who've helped scale companies like Miro, Celonis, and Personio.
