Set the technical standard for the team, mentoring engineers on Python code quality, CI/CD workflows, and reliable system design
WHAT YOU'LL BRING: 6+ years operating production data platforms with hands-on ownership of dbt + cloud-warehouses (Snowflake strongly preferred)
6+ years strong production Python and software-engineering fundamentals (typing, testing, code review, and automated deployment)
A default mindset geared toward systems architecture, API contracts, and failure modes
The instinct to manage cloud spend, warehouse performance, and data quality without being asked

DUTCH'S GUIDING PRINCIPLES Pets First – business and medical decisions are always guided by the pet's best interest. We'll never compromise on pet health and we're all here because we care about their well-being
Agile Like a Cat – We have a bias toward swift action, while maintaining quality and accuracy. For us, that means being able to turn on a dime, like a cat, analyze our options – even ones that may not be on the table – then execute without perfection getting in the way
Creativity is our Catnip – Creativity feeds us and helps us push boundaries to always find better solutions, making the complex more accessible and easier to understand
Be the Human Your Dog Thinks You Are – Be kind, show care for your colleagues, and even if you're an expert - give others context, reinforce the positive, and help them understand.
