• Write complex and efficient queries to transform raw data sources into easily accessible models for our teams (e.g., Product, Growth, Finance, Risk)
• Care deeply about helping millions of small business owners focus on what they love
• Be surrounded by people who are doing the best work of their lives and loving every moment of it

Here’s what we’re looking for:

• At least 5 years of software engineering experience (Python, Ruby or Java).

• Experience with AWS tools
• Experience building out data pipelines, efficient ETL design, implementation, and maintenance
