Data Engineering Lead

Seer Interactive is a digital marketing consultancy that harnesses compassion, data, technology, and AI to make a mark on our communities—our coworkers, our clients, our industry, and our neighbors. We relentlessly pursue (and share) the truth, bringing together millions of data points from quantitative and qualitative sources, enhanced by responsible, human-centered AI. Our purpose is to unlock potential across these communities, envisioning a world where doing the right thing is intuitive and informed.

Requirements

• Set the technical direction for Seer’s data platform — define the architecture, the standards, and the roadmap that other engineers build against.
• Architect Seer’s data platform end-to-end across BigQuery, Dataflow, Airflow, Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, and Cloud Storage, making the cost, latency, and freshness tradeoffs that let us scale without surprises.
• Set the standard for how we model and serve data, from dbt project structure to LookML, Looker explores, and embedded Looker experiences inside client portals and internal tools.
• Mentor data engineers and analysts across the team — pair on tough problems, lead architectural reviews, leave PR comments that make people better (not just their code), and run the occasional workshop on TDD, git internals, or LLM-augmented engineering.
• Champion engineering practice — TDD, modular Pytest suites, clean Git workflows, and CI/CD pipelines with multi-stage deploys. Make the bar visible, then help everyone meet it.
• Tune what’s expensive: hunt down the slow query, the redundant DAG, the leaky storage policy. Cut BigQuery costs and dashboard load times, and bring the team along with you.
• Leverage tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and prompt-evaluation harnesses to accelerate research, code review, and pipeline development — and design AI-driven workflows that scale Seer’s engineering throughput.
• Document and teach. Write playbooks that survive system evolution, decision records that explain why not just what, and onboarding paths that compound across new hires.
