Software Engineering LMTS, Data

About the Role

As an engineer on the Data Team, you will operate as a technical leader on the layer everything else is built on. The team owns Qualified's data end to end: leads and accounts data models, ETL pipelines, Data 360, Salesforce sync, analytics and insights, data integrations, and Data APIs. This is a newer team with real greenfield ahead. You will shape the architecture of core pipelines and data models, set patterns that other teams build against, and turn a set of inherited systems into a coherent platform. You will also play a direct role in Piper's intelligence, as her ability to reason, personalize, and act is bounded by the data she can see, and the enterprise deals we're closing depend on how confidently that data moves between Qualified and Salesforce.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and ship data systems end-to-end: models, pipelines, sync, and serving layers that the whole platform builds on.
• Drive technical design for high-volume, multi-component systems (ETL, event streaming, analytics stores, APIs) with an emphasis on correctness, freshness, and operational excellence.
• Own Salesforce data flows at enterprise scale.
• Build the analytics and insights infrastructure that powers customer-facing reporting and internal decision-making.
• Define data quality standards: SLOs, data contracts, observability, and the tooling to enforce them.
• Own delivery from scope/design through launch, monitoring, and iterative improvement—anticipating risks, sequencing work, and aligning stakeholders.
• Partner closely with product teams and engineering leadership to make data a first-class platform capability.
• Raise team effectiveness through mentoring, technical guidance, code review, and improving standards, tooling, and processes.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Proven experience building and operating production data systems at scale: pipelines, data models, or high-volume backend services.
• Strong depth in several of: PostgreSQL at scale, OLAP systems (ClickHouse or similar), CDC and event streaming, ETL orchestration, or data modeling for CRM-shaped domains.
• Demonstrated technical leadership: you influence architecture and execution beyond your immediate workstream.
• Strong track record delivering complex projects with multiple stakeholders, dependencies, or phases.
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and driving clarity.
• Pragmatic about reliability: you think in terms of data contracts, backfills, idempotency, and what happens when things fail.
• Experience with modern stacks (Rails/Postgres/AWS is a plus; adaptability matters most).

Nice to Have

• Experience supporting AI/ML or agentic products, where data freshness and grounding directly shape model behavior.
• Experience with enterprise SaaS (especially B2B marketing or sales tech).
• Experience with real-time or event-driven systems.
• Startup experience and rapid shipping.
