About the Role
Every AI product GlossGenius ships runs on top of a data platform, and right now, that platform is being rebuilt from the ground up to support it. As a Software Engineer on the Data Platform team, you'll own the architecture and infrastructure that moves data from raw ingestion to model-ready, at the scale of billions of transactions and 100,000+ businesses generating signal every day. This is the foundational layer that determines what our AI can do and how fast it can get there. The work is technically hard, the stakes are real, and the person in this role will directly shape the long-term direction of GlossGenius's data ecosystem.
You must be commutable to our San Francisco office and will operate in a hybrid environment. We default to being in-office 3–4 days per week with required attendance on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

What We're Looking For
