Description

• As a Data Engineer at Outschool, your initial focus will be to lead data modeling and system design where the product and data backends meet. You will work primarily with Analytics Engineering, Product Engineering, and Analytics colleagues in building a stable, extensible foundation for our next phase of growth. Upcoming initiatives include: developing new mechanisms to connect data and models with live product features, building a unified payments data model across data and product systems, and simplifying and consolidating data flows among our tools and systems. • This role is an engineering position in the Data & Research department, and we anticipate significant cross-functional engagement and leadership with our Product and Infra Engineering teams. • At other companies, this role would be equivalent to a staff position. At Outschool we have decided to take an unconventional approach to titling that aligns with our values and is focused on impact above status. You can learn more about our titling philosophy here.

Requirements

• 10+ years of experience working professionally in data engineering, data infrastructure engineering, or similar roles • 3+ years of experience in data modeling for both reporting (OLAP) and production (OLTP and application-level) purposes • 3+ years of experience in the architecture of data systems • Professional experience with data tools and systems (Redshift, dbt, and related technologies) in AWS • Proficient in SQL and at least one modern scripting or programming language (e.g. Python, Java, Scala, TypeScript) • Track record of initiating and steering projects across team boundaries through communication and leadership skills • Previous experience in startups, especially in the hypergrowth phase • Previous experience working with highly sensitive data (healthtech, K-12)

Benefits

• Shared Financial Success: Competitive salaries, stock options, and investment plans that make saving for retirement easier. • Health & Wellness: Comprehensive health, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance coverage options for employees and their families. Our medical benefits include fertility and family planning coverage. We also provide employees with online access to coaching and therapy sessions through our partner, ModernHealth. • PTO & Family Benefits: PTO and family leave enable our team to take the time that we need to recharge, relax, and spend time with family and friends. • Fully Distributed: With a team distributed across the US and Canada, we create a remote culture through expensable meals, virtual events, expensable home office setup, and internet allowance. • Lifelong Learners: Annual budgets to self-direct our professional development as well as DEI learning. There's also a budget for employees' learners to take classes on Outschool! • Community Impact: Outschool matches employee donations to established charities and has committed to support Outschool.org's non-profit programs.
