About the Opportunity

Worldly is hiring a hands-on data engineer with a passion for sustainability to join our dynamic team. You will take on a primary role in building, operating, maintaining, and evolving the systems that support our internal analytics and power our customer-facing analytics platforms.

In this role, you will:

*

Own our production data lake — a CDC-fed, medallion (bronze/silver/gold) lake on Apache Iceberg, queried through Trino — as well as our independent Postgres data warehouse.

*

Play a core role in integrating our graph database with the warehouse, lake, and primary databases, including migrating legacy pipelines onto a single, governed integration layer.

*

Apply generative AI and embeddings-based techniques already running in production (e.g., entity matching, document extraction) to keep expanding what our data can do.

What You’ll Do

Data Warehouse & Data Lake

*

Operate and evolve our Postgres data warehouse (schema, performance, access controls) and build analytics-ready datasets from it.

*

Own the lake end-to-end: CDC ingestion (source database → message bus → streaming writer → Iceberg bronze/silver/gold), the Trino query layer, and the table catalog.

*

Own pipeline health — latency SLAs, schema-drift detection, source reconciliation — and the GitOps/Terraform infrastructure and backup/DR posture underneath it.

*

Bring consistent schemas, documented lineage, and clear ownership to a data estate that’s grown quickly through acquisitions.

Orchestration, Transformation & Reporting

*

Maintain and evolve our Dagster-orchestrated dbt pipelines: sensor-triggered and scheduled builds, data quality tests, branch-based versioning for curated releases.

*

Operate our BI/reporting layer, including per-user, policy-based data access enforced at the query engine (not just the dashboard), and consistent metric definitions across dashboards.

Graph Integration

*

Own pipelines integrating the graph database with the warehouse, lake, and primary databases, working within canonical data models and a single write path.

*

Partner with data science to migrate legacy direct-to-graph services onto that shared path, and to evolve relational structures into graph-native models.

GenAI/NLP Enablement

*

Support and extend production genAI workflows — embeddings/similarity search, LLM-based extraction and classification — and keep our data infrastructure “AI-ready.”

We’d Like to See

*

5+ years in data engineering, analytics engineering, or data platform engineering.

*

Advanced SQL and relational database experience (Postgres, MongoDB).

*

Hands-on graph database experience in production, including integrating graph models with warehouses and lakes — core, not peripheral, to this role.

*

Experience with open table formats and medallion lake architectures (e.g., Apache Iceberg) and distributed SQL engines (e.g., Trino, Presto).

*

Experience with streaming/CDC pipelines (e.g., Kafka or Pulsar, Debezium, Flink or similar).

*

Strong Python skills for pipelines, automation, and operational tooling.

*

Experience with dbt orchestrated by a modern scheduler (e.g., Dagster, Airflow).

*

AWS infrastructure experience (EKS, VPC, IAM, S3) via infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform), plus CI/CD, GitOps (e.g., ArgoCD), and Docker.

*

Experience with analytics data modeling, metric definitions, and automated monitoring/data-quality controls.

*

Experience operating production data systems: incident triage, root-cause analysis, runbooks, reliability improvements.

*

Comfortable working with cross-functional/analytics stakeholders (Jira/Confluence, Agile).

*

Familiarity with data security practices (PII protection, encryption, access management).

It Helps If You Have

*

Experience with BI tooling supporting per-user, policy-based data access (e.g., Superset with SSO impersonation).

*

Experience with policy-based access control (e.g., OPA) and identity platforms (e.g., Keycloak).

*

Familiarity with multi-region data residency (e.g., separate EU/China data handling).

What We Can Offer You

*

Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance are offered through multiple PPO options. Worldly covers 90% of employee premiums and 60% of spouse/dependent premiums.

*

Company-sponsored 401k with up to 4% match for US employees.

*

Incentive Stock Options.

*

100% Parental Paid Leave.

*

Unlimited PTO.

*

12 paid company holidays.

*

Use the office stipend to get the supplies you need—combat Zoom fatigue with no-meeting Fridays.

*

Flexible time off. Take the time you need to recharge. Our culture encourages team members to explore and rest to be their best selves.

*

We’re remote, not lonely. Join the culture committee, coffee chats, or a variety of other interest groups.

Sample interview questionsHow would you design and operate a CDC pipeline from a production database into an Apache Iceberg lake?I would use a durable CDC mechanism such as Debezium to publish ordered change events to a message bus, then operate a streaming writer that validates schemas, handles idempotency, and writes partitioned Bronze Iceberg tables. I would promote validated and reconciled data through Silver and Gold layers, with monitoring for freshness, lag, schema drift, duplicate events, and source-to-target reconciliation.

What practices would you use to maintain reliable dbt pipelines orchestrated by Dagster?

I would define clear software-defined assets or jobs, use sensors and schedules only where appropriate, and enforce tests for source freshness, uniqueness, referential integrity, and business rules. I would also implement alerting, lineage visibility, environment-specific configuration, branch-based validation, and documented recovery procedures for failed runs.

How would you integrate graph data with an existing warehouse and data lake without creating conflicting data paths?

I would establish canonical entities, identifiers, ownership boundaries, and a single governed write path. Relational and event data would be transformed through controlled pipelines into graph-ready nodes and edges, with reconciliation checks and versioned model contracts to prevent direct legacy services from creating inconsistent graph state.

How would you enforce policy-based data access for BI users at the query-engine layer?

I would integrate authentication and identity claims with the query engine, map users or groups to policies, and apply row-, column-, and table-level controls centrally rather than relying solely on dashboard permissions. I would audit access decisions, protect sensitive PII through masking or encryption, and regularly test policy behavior using representative user identities.

Describe your approach to supporting production embedding and LLM extraction workflows in a data platform.

I would treat these as production data products with versioned inputs, model and prompt metadata, quality metrics, and retriable processing. I would build secure pipelines for document ingestion, embedding generation, vector indexing, and result evaluation, while monitoring cost, latency, drift, failures, and access to sensitive source content.
