As a Senior Data Platform Engineer at Later, you'll own the foundation our data ecosystem runs on. You'll design, build, and evolve the infrastructure, backend services, and platform capabilities that move data from source to decision, and that help engineers, analysts, and data scientists do their best work.
This is a data engineering role with a platform mindset. Our analytics platform runs on GCP and BigQuery, and our operational databases live in AWS. You'll shape how data moves between them, modernize what we have, and get our data ready for the AI-powered products we're building. You'll treat the platform as a product and the teams who depend on it as your customers.
This role is for someone who likes building the system more than the individual report or model. It isn't a traditional ETL/ELT role focused on SQL, dashboards, and pipeline maintenance, and it isn't an ML engineering or data science role. You'll build the data foundation that makes AI work, and other teams will build on top of it.
