Full Job Description
đź“‹ Description
- • Katapult Labs is seeking a highly skilled and motivated Data Engineer to join our dynamic team and play a pivotal role in the rapid transformation and automation of our data reporting pipelines. As a nearshore software development agency, we pride ourselves on combining top-tier LATAM talent with world-class execution and an AI-first approach to product engineering. We partner with PMF startups and businesses in the United States, operating under a team-augmentation model where we either become or enhance their existing product engineering teams. This full-time, remote position is an exceptional opportunity to make a significant impact on a fast-growing project by centralizing and automating our data processes.
- • The primary objective of this role is to transition our current ad hoc and recurring reporting from manual spreadsheet updates to a robust, scalable, and automated reporting system. You will be instrumental in building and optimizing data pipelines that feed into a centralized data warehouse environment, currently leveraging PostgreSQL and PostHog. This involves designing, developing, and maintaining the infrastructure that ensures our data is accurate, accessible, and actionable for key business decisions.
- • Your responsibilities will encompass the end-to-end lifecycle of data pipeline development. This includes designing data models, building ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes, and optimizing existing workflows to ensure efficiency and scalability. A significant part of your role will involve automating the current spreadsheet-based reports, which are often time-consuming and prone to errors. By implementing automated solutions, you will free up valuable resources and improve the reliability of our reporting.
- • Collaboration will be a cornerstone of this position. You will work closely with finance and business stakeholders to deeply understand their ad hoc reporting needs. This requires not only technical expertise but also strong communication skills to translate business requirements into effective data solutions. Your ability to quickly address these needs and deliver efficient, accurate reports will be crucial for supporting strategic decision-making across the company.
- • A key aspect of this role is preparing the data infrastructure for future integration with a dedicated reporting platform. This forward-thinking approach ensures that our data architecture is future-proof and can readily accommodate advanced analytics and visualization tools as the company continues to grow. You will be responsible for documenting all processes, ensuring comprehensive knowledge transfer and maintainability of the systems you build.
- • Data quality and integrity are paramount. You will implement robust data validation checks and monitoring mechanisms to ensure that the data flowing through our pipelines is accurate, consistent, and reliable. This commitment to data governance will build trust in our reporting and empower stakeholders to make informed decisions with confidence.
- • The ideal candidate will possess a strong foundation in data engineering principles and a proven track record of success in similar roles. Experience with Python for data manipulation and pipeline development is essential. You should be adept at working with cloud data services, particularly within the AWS ecosystem, including services like S3 for storage, Lambda for serverless computing, Redshift for data warehousing, and Glue for ETL jobs. Your proficiency in SQL will be advanced, and you should have hands-on experience with modern data warehouses such as PostHog, Redshift, or Databricks.
- • Furthermore, you will leverage your expertise in automating spreadsheet data transformations to streamline reporting processes. The ability to effectively collaborate with business teams, particularly in finance and operations, and to rapidly respond to ad hoc reporting requests is a critical requirement. Professional English proficiency, both written and verbal, is necessary for seamless communication within our international team and with US-based clients.
- • This role offers a unique opportunity to shape the data landscape of a rapidly expanding company. You will be at the forefront of implementing best practices in data engineering, contributing directly to the company's efficiency and growth. If you are a proactive, detail-oriented Data Engineer passionate about building scalable data solutions and driving business value through data, we encourage you to apply.
