Data Engineer

Limetree is a behavioral marketing company with a goal to create solutions that unite data and behavioral science to define the new standard in marketing performance.  The Data Engineer is critical to the “data” side of our goal, as this person implements, scales, hardens and expands the data driven methodologies we use. Are you eager to push the bounds of data platforms? Do you want to find out what happens when the data scientist get MORE data to use? Do you say “better, faster, bigger” instead of “good enough, fast enough, big enough?” Then this role is for you.

This remote Data Engineer position will help us scale our data ingestion, feature engineering, and identity management and at time partner with data scientists on our data products.  This means we process new data sets faster and generate more value-add for analytics, campaign execution, data science, and business intelligence users downstream. This data engineer’s efforts result in new, accessible, cataloged data sets that meet rigorous checks for quality and completeness.

This Data Engineer should be eager to be on a growth trajectory into a leadership position. Limetree expects that the problems above will require an innovative, collaborative, and flexible mindset. As the engineer becomes more comfortable in role, this engineer will work closely with fellow team members to build a roadmap that proactively identifies “what’s next,” “what’s faster,” and “what’s better,” and connects to emerging, high-value technology trends.
