Senior Data Engineering

Hiring in the US and Canada Only

At Urbint, our mission is to make communities more resilient. We do this by pairing external data with artificial intelligence to identify areas of high risk and prevent catastrophic loss for utilities and infrastructure operators across the country. We are a team of close-knit engineers, entrepreneurs, and data geeks who obsess over problem-solving, new technologies, and making a positive impact in our communities.

You will collaborate within a cross functional team of other software engineers, product designers, machine learning engineers and product managers to architect, create and maintain custom data pipelines, data lake(s) and a data warehouse to feed our customer facing applications and internal experimentation and modeling teams. Our data sources range from large, high security enterprise databases and storage services hosted by our customers to disparate open data from government organizations to proprietary third party aggregators and audit-ability and security are very important to their results. You will be working to solve direct customer needs and finding common abstractions to apply and guide the future of information at data driven organization.

• Experience working closely with product and account support personnel to help prioritize the best solutions to the largest problems.
• Reliable organization and communication skills and follow through on verbal and written commitments.
