About the Role: 

We are seeking a talented and motivated, best-in-class Principal Engineer for our Data Infrastructure. This role presents an exciting opportunity to thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment within a rapidly growing team, with abundant prospects for career advancement.

Sezzle is growing; our data generation and consumption is growing with us at an increasing scale. Data is extremely valuable, and we want to empower the business, the engineers, and the rest of the organization to be able to read, write, and analyze large volumes of it quickly and efficiently.

Sezzle is a heavy consumer of MySQL, Postgres, and Redshift, leveraging AWS tooling with Aurora RDS and DMS. We use DBT-based transformations and similar toolkits to populate a rapidly growing data lake that supports multiple data warehouses.

• Familiarity with streaming technologies (Kafka, Kinesis, Flink, Spark Streaming).
• High enthusiasm for using AI to be as productive as possible.

About You: 

• You have relentlessly high standards - many people may think your standards are unreasonably high. You are continually raising the bar and driving those around you to deliver great results. You make sure that defects do not get sent down the line and that problems are fixed so they stay fixed.
• You’re not bound by convention - your success—and much of the fun—lies in developing new ways to do things
• You need action - speed matters in business. Many decisions and actions are reversible and do not need extensive study. We value calculated risk-taking.
• You earn trust - you listen attentively, speak candidly, and treat others respectfully.
• You have backbone; disagree, then commit - you can respectfully challenge decisions when you disagree, even when doing so is uncomfortable or exhausting. You have conviction and are tenacious. You do not compromise for the sake of social cohesion. Once a decision is determined, you commit wholly.
• You deliver results - you focus on the key inputs and deliver them with the right quality and in a timely fashion. Despite setbacks, you rise to the occasion and never settle.

What we are looking for:

We are looking for a Senior Data Engineer to design, build, and evolve our modern, event-driven and near real-time Lakehouse platform on AWS + Snowflake.

This is a data platform role, focused on high-volume transactional data, near real-time processing, and strong architectural foundations.

Our data ecosystem is built around:

• Event-driven ingestion using Confluent Cloud (Kafka)
• CDC ingestion from databases via AWS DMS
• Custom connectors for specific internal and third-party sources
• Near real-time and batch processing
• AWS S3 + S3 Tables (Apache Iceberg) as the core Lakehouse storage
• Medallion Architecture (Bronze / Silver / Gold)
• Glue & dbt as the transformation layer
• Snowflake as the access, analytics, and data governance layer

You will play a key role in defining how data flows from source to Lakehouse to analytics, ensuring reliability, scalability, observability, and governance.

What would you be doing:

Event-Driven & Near Real-Time Data Ingestion

• Design and maintain event-driven ingestion pipelines using Confluent + AWS.
• Ingest CDC streams from transactional databases using AWS DMS.
• Build and maintain custom ingestion connectors for internal and external sources.
• Ensure data consistency, ordering, idempotency, and replayability in near real-time pipelines.

Lakehouse & Storage Layer

• Own the Lakehouse architecture based on Apache Iceberg on S3 Tables.
• Design Iceberg tables optimized for streaming and batch workloads.
• Manage schema evolution, partitioning strategies, compaction, and time travel.
• Implement and evolve Bronze, Silver, and Gold layers aligned with event-driven ingestion patterns.

Transformations & Processing

• Build near real-time and batch ELT pipelines using AWS Glue, Python, and dbt.
• Implement incremental models optimized for streaming-derived datasets.
• Ensure transformations are modular, testable, and production-ready.

Observability, Quality & Reliability

• Implement data observability and monitoring across ingestion and transformation layers.
• Track freshness, volume, schema changes, and data quality metrics.
• Define alerting and monitoring strategies to proactively detect pipeline and data issues.
• Implement data quality checks, contracts, and validation rules.

Analytics Enablement & Governance

• Expose curated datasets through Snowflake as a governed access layer.
• Collaborate on access control, data retention, and lineage strategies.
• Ensure consistency between Lakehouse storage and analytics consumption.

Platform Ownership

• Contribute to architectural decisions across ingestion, storage, and consumption.
• Balance latency, cost, scalability, and reliability trade-offs.
• Define standards, templates, and best practices for the data platform.

What do you need:

Must have

• 3–6+ years of experience as a Data Engineer (flexible depending on depth).
• Strong experience with event-driven data architectures.
• Hands-on experience with Kafka / Confluent in production environments.
• Experience ingesting data via CDC (AWS DMS or similar tools).
• Solid experience designing near real-time data pipelines.
• Strong knowledge of Apache Iceberg 
• Experience with AWS (S3, Glue, Lambda, EventBridge, Firehose, etc.).
• Advanced SQL and Python.
• Production experience using dbt.
• Experience using Snowflake as an analytics and governance layer.

Nice to have

• Experience with S3 Tables specifically.
• Infrastructure as Code (Terraform / Terragrunt).
• Experience with high-volume transactional or fintech systems.
• Familiarity with data contracts, schema registries, and data observability tools.

Who will thrive in this role

• Engineers who enjoy event-driven systems and near real-time processing.
• People who think in platforms, not one-off pipelines.
• Engineers comfortable owning architectural decisions.
• Profiles that enjoy working close to core business events and transactional data.

What this role makes explicit

• Kafka / Confluent is the primary ingestion layer.
• CDC + events are first-class citizens.
• Near real-time is core, not an afterthought.
• Iceberg-first Lakehouse, Snowflake as access & governance, not as the lake.
• Clear Mid / Senior expectations.
• Observability and reliability are part of the job, not “nice to have”.

Not a fit if

• You focus on BI/dashboards or SQL-only analytics.
• You’ve only worked with batch ETL.
• You’re looking for a junior or execution-only role.
• You’re not interested in event-driven, near real-time systems.
