Director of Engineering

We’re looking for a Senior Data Engineer who thrives in complex systems, enjoys solving hard problems, and wants to build data products that actually make a difference.
We are a fast-moving startup in the security intelligence space, working with diverse data sources to help organizations detect and prevent harm. You’ll be joining a lean, high-talent team where your decisions directly shape how we scale and evolve our platform.

You’ll be hands-on with everything from architecture to implementation, designing systems that power real-time insights, agentic bots, and automated data pipelines. This is a chance to work at the intersection of AI, data engineering, and security tech building something genuinely impactful.

What You’ll Do

• Design and build scalable data pipelines from ingestion to transformation across 1,400+ structured and unstructured data sets.

• Develop frameworks for data validation, enrichment, and deduplication that power downstream analytics and machine learning.

• Own architecture decisions for our Python-based backend and data infrastructure.

• Work with internal and external teams to build high-performance, secure, and reliable systems.

• Build and maintain scrapers, bots, and automation workflows that feed real-time intelligence.

• Collaborate with AI engineers and data scientists to deploy new models and agentic automation tools.

• Support integrations for enterprise clients and data compliance needs 

What You Bring

• 9+ years of experience in data engineering, backend engineering, or similar roles.

• Strong command of Python for ETL, API integrations, and automation.

• Experience working with large, messy data sets and designing scalable pipelines.

• Solid knowledge of modern data stack tools and cloud platforms (Azure preferred).

• Familiarity with distributed systems, orchestration tools, and RESTful data services.

• Comfort operating in a startup environment — resourceful, self-directed, and comfortable with ambiguity.

• Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset.

• Must be eligible to obtain security clearance (U.S. work authorization required).

• Ideally based in Phoenix, AZ or Florida.
