Promise modernizes how government agencies and utilities support people in financial difficulty by building technology that makes it simple for residents to receive benefits, engage with assistance programs, set up flexible payment plans, and stay on track. The company needs a Data Engineer to build and scale the systems that power data-driven decisions across the company.
Requirements
- Have 5+ years of experience as a data or software engineer building data warehouses, pipelines, and distributed data systems.
- Can draw on a variety of modeling techniques to drive sustainable data solutions.
- Have deep hands-on expertise with a modern data stack, from ingestion to transformation (dbt, etc.), orchestration (Airflow, etc.), observability, and BI (Looker, Metabase, tc.).
- Have operated cloud data warehouses such as Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift, including schema design, security and permissioning, and data governance.
- Are comfortable writing production-grade code in Python or SQL languages, and integrating with CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code workflows.
Responsibilities
- Own data architecture end-to-end.
- Automate operational workflows.
- Enforce data quality at scale.
- Design and maintain scalable data models, decision tools, and analytics infrastructure to empower self-serve analytics and derive insight.

- Expose high-quality, comprehensible data through semantic layers, APIs, and real-time query systems.
Other
- The data team at Promise is a team of builders.
- Enjoy partnering across disciplines—engineering, product, analytics—to translate messy business requirements into elegant data systems.
- Thrive as a self-starter in a fast-moving environment, owning both the technical design and the operational outcomes of your work.
- You are energized by big, complex challenges and the opportunity to solve them.
- You want your work to have a real, measurable impact on people’s lives.
- You take ownership and run toward problems, not away from them.
- You value clear, candid, and constructive communication.
- Hybrid work: we deeply value in-person collaboration and are in-office at least 3 days a week, but are flexible on working from home.
