About This Role

As PDK continues to grow, the amount of data generated across our systems, products, and operations is increasing rapidly. Turning that data into reliable insights requires a modern, scalable data platform.

We are looking for an experienced Data Engineer to help design and build the systems that power analytics across the company. In this role, you will transform raw operational data into well-structured datasets that enable reporting, product insights, and better decision-making.

You’ll work closely with our engineering and analytics teams to build robust pipelines, define warehouse models, and ensure our data platform is reliable, scalable, and built for the future.

If you enjoy solving data infrastructure problems and building systems that enable an entire organization to move faster with data, this role is for you.

What You’ll Build

As a Data Engineer at PDK, you will help design and maintain the core systems that move, transform, and organize data across the company.

This includes:

• Designing, building, and maintaining scalable data pipelines that ingest unstructured event data from internal product and engineering databases into our Snowflake data warehouse

• Designing data models and schemas that support analytics and reporting

• Developing ETL/ELT workflows using Python, Airflow, and Fivetran

• Ensuring data pipelines are reliable, observable, and well-tested

• Maintaining and optimizing our Snowflake data warehouse

• Integrating new data sources across product, operations, and business systems

• Improving data quality, documentation, and governance across the platform

Your work will directly support teams across the company by ensuring the data they rely on is accurate, accessible, and scalable.

• Snowflake for our data warehouse

• Google Cloud Platform (GCP) for storage and data services

• Airflow for pipeline orchestration

• Fivetran for data ingestion

• dbt for transformations and modeling

• Python and SQL for pipeline and transformation logic

• GitHub for version control and collaboration

You will play an important role in evolving this platform and improving how we build and operate data systems. You do not need experience with every tool listed here to apply. If you have strong fundamentals in data engineering and cloud platforms, we encourage you to apply.

• Strong understanding of data modeling and ETL/ELT practices

• Experience integrating data from systems such as relational databases, APIs, or event streams

• A focus on data reliability, testing, and maintainability

• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across teams
