AI SummaryTeachable is seeking a senior Data Engineer to serve as a technical reference for scalable data architecture, modeling standards, and production data pipelines. The role partners with Engineering, Product, Finance, and business stakeholders to convert strategic requirements into reliable data-platform solutions. Core work includes AWS-based data infrastructure, orchestration, ETL/ELT, batch and streaming systems, infrastructure as code, and management of technical debt. This is a fully remote Brazil-based employee role working on Brasília Standard Time with distributed U.S. and Brazilian teams. Success requires strong architectural judgment, hands-on delivery, and clear communication across technical and nontechnical audiences. ## Role DNA A quick view of the complexity, pace, ownership and collaboration implied by the job description. ### Job Complexity 5/5EasyHard ### Pace & Pressure 4/5RelaxedFast-paced ### Autonomy Level 5/5GuidedFull ownership ### Communication Load 5/5IndependentCollaborative AI insightThis is a senior, high-impact platform role requiring ownership of architectural standards and trade-offs across pipelines, cloud infrastructure, streaming, and data reliability.

A typical design would separate durable storage, compute, orchestration, cataloging, and serving layers; use object storage and table formats for the lakehouse; and use managed streaming or Kafka-compatible services where low latency is justified. I would define observability, access controls, data-quality checks, lineage, cost controls, and clear ownership from the outset. Describe how you decide between batch and streaming pipelines. I assess the business value of freshness against the operational cost and complexity of streaming. Batch is usually preferable for scheduled reporting, backfills, and use cases where hours of latency are acceptable, while streaming fits event-driven experiences, operational alerts, or metrics requiring low latency. I also evaluate source reliability, ordering and duplication needs, downstream consumption patterns, and the team’s ability to operate the solution. How do you manage technical debt in a data platform while still delivering stakeholder requests? I make debt visible by documenting its operational, reliability, security, and delivery impact, then prioritize it alongside product work. I reserve capacity for foundational improvements, address high-risk debt during relevant feature changes, and use standards, reusable components, and automated testing to avoid recreating it. Stakeholders should understand the trade-off in terms of delivery speed, data trust, and long-term cost. What practices would you use to ensure data pipelines are reliable and auditable? I would implement automated tests for schema, freshness, volume, and business-rule expectations; robust retries and idempotency; alerting tied to service-level objectives; and runbooks for common failures. I would also use version-controlled infrastructure and transformations, role-based access controls, lineage and metadata tooling, and clear ownership for each critical dataset. These practices make failures easier to detect, investigate, and correct. Tell us about how you communicate a complex data architecture decision to nontechnical stakeholders. I start with the decision’s business objective, such as faster reporting, lower risk, or better customer insight, rather than implementation details. I present a small set of options with trade-offs in cost, timing, reliability, and capability, then recommend the option that best fits the stated priorities. After alignment, I document assumptions, milestones, risks, and measurable outcomes so stakeholders can follow progress without needing deep technical context. ### What is Teachable?
