Sr/Staff Data Engineer (US)

We are looking for a Senior or Staff Data Engineer with 5+ years of experience to join as the second data hire and help own and drive the entire data function at Orderful. You'll partner directly with the current data lead to build data products, extend a modern platform, and tackle both zero-to-one and scaling challenges across infrastructure, modeling, and customer-facing analytics. This role demands a full-stack data engineer who thrives in ambiguity, can independently discover the highest-leverage problems, and has the systems thinking to design platforms others build on top of. If you're energized by messy, real-world data and want the autonomy to shape a data practice from the ground up, this is it.

What you will be doing

• Owning significant portions of the data function end-to-end, from infrastructure and pipeline design through to stakeholder-facing analytics and governance

• Building and extending an agentic semantic layer, event-driven data products, and customer-facing analytics where the data itself is the feature

• Designing and operating data infrastructure on AWS, Snowflake, and Databricks, including being on call and ensuring production reliability

• Driving zero-to-one initiatives across streaming, data governance, and knowledge management while keeping day-to-day data requests under control

• Evaluating and selecting tools and technologies, keeping the platform flexible and pluggable as the landscape evolves rapidly with AI
