The Role

We’re hiring a Lead Data Engineer to architect and scale the data infrastructure that powers decision-making, personalization, and product intelligence at Genies.

This is a hands-on leadership role — you’ll define how data is structured, stored, and used across the company. You’ll collaborate cross-functionally with product, engineering, and business stakeholders to ensure our data is clean, actionable, and strategic.

What You’ll Do

• Own event structure and taxonomy: design and maintain frameworks for event tracking, naming conventions, and alignment with product goals.

• Architect scalable storage systems: evaluate and implement data warehouses, lakes, or transactional stores optimized for security, cost, and performance.

• Empower business teams: guide analytics tooling (e.g., Mixpanel, Amplitude) and ensure seamless integration across the data stack.

• Build reliable pipelines: develop robust ETL processes with Airflow or Dagster, ensuring data quality, documentation, and maintainability.

• Lead technical direction: mentor engineers and establish best practices for data modeling, monitoring, and testing.

• Partner across teams: work with product, growth, and engineering to turn data into business impact.

What You’ll Bring

• 5+ years of experience in data engineering or a related field.

• Proven expertise in SQL, data modeling, and analytical schema design.

• Hands-on experience with Airflow or Dagster for orchestration.

• Deep understanding of cloud data platforms (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift).

• Experience integrating third-party analytics tools (Mixpanel, Amplitude).

• Ability to define and scale event tracking frameworks.

• Strong leadership and mentorship experience.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.

• Bonus: experience in growth-stage tech companies.

Why You’ll Love Working at Genies

• Competitive salary (DOE) + equity in a well-funded startup.

• Full health, dental, and vision coverage (Anthem + Kaiser).

• Unlimited PTO and flexible work-from-home policy.

• Paid parental leave, wellness reimbursements, and 401(k).

• Bright, creative LA office — complete with a slide.

• Choice of MacBook or Windows laptop.

• Opportunity to shape the data backbone of a next-generation AI platform.
