Senior Data Engineer
Posted Updated
- We’re looking for a Senior Data Engineer to turn raw, complex data into trusted, well-modeled datasets that power reporting and decision-making across Kin
- As we grow, the accuracy and structure of the data underneath our reporting matters more every quarter — teams can only move as fast as the data they’re standing on
- You’ll own the modeling layer between raw source data and the people who depend on it: analytics engineers, BI, and business stakeholders across Finance, Marketing, and Product
- You’ll work closely with App Engineering to understand source systems and with downstream teams to make sure what you build actually answers their questions
- Design and build scalable, production-grade data pipelines and data models to power downstream analytics and enterprise reporting
- Implement and enforce data validation, testing, and QA standards across data models to ensure accuracy and reliability
- Partner with App Engineering to understand source systems and define how raw data should be captured and modeled downstream
- Collaborate with Analytics Engineering, BI, and business stakeholders to translate ambiguous reporting needs into scalable, well-modeled datasets
- Ensure data models comply with data security and privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA, GLBA) through access controls and monitoring
- Mentor other data engineers on modeling best practices, documentation, and data processing patterns
- Leverage AI-assisted development tools where appropriate to improve engineering efficiency, code quality, and observability
- In your first 6–12 months at Kin, success is less about checking boxes and more about the impact you create
- You’ll use your skills and judgment to take ownership of meaningful work, improve how we operate, and help move Kin’s mission forward
- Along the way, you’ll deliver outcomes that make a real difference for both Kinfolk and the homeowners we serve
- By the end of your first year, you should feel confident in your role, trusted as an owner, and proud of the progress you’ve helped make
- Well-modeled, production-ready datasets are the default source of truth for reporting, cutting down on one-off requests and rework
- Data validation and QA standards are consistently applied, resulting in measurable improvements in data quality and stakeholder trust
- Cross-functional partners rely on your models to make faster, better-informed decisions
