A PE-backed leader in supplier intelligence is seeking a Data Engineer to support a major technology modernization initiative. With 170 employees across the U.S., the organization is growing rapidly and making strategic investments in its data infrastructure.

This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in transforming how enterprise-scale supplier data is processed and delivered. You’ll join a forward-thinking engineering team spearheading the migration from legacy systems to Snowflake and architecting scalable, automated data ingestion pipelines on GCP to power the company’s accelerating growth. The role is primarily hands-on, with opportunities to influence architectural decisions and mentor junior engineers.

· Agile team experience with Jira

What You Will Be Doing
