JOB TITLE: Data Engineer II LOCATION: REMOTE- US
THE ROLE:
We're looking for a Data Engineer II to join Splice 's Data Engineering team and help scale the platform that powers creator payouts, revenue reporting, and product analytics across Splice 's product lines.
Data Engineering builds and maintains the reliable foundation that makes trusted data possible, enabling teams across Splice to work from a governed, consistent source of truth. We are accountable for the warehouse and pipeline foundation; ingestion, transformations, and the standards and quality guardrails that keep data consistent, timely, and usable. This is a mid-level, high-ownership role: engineers here carry features from technical design through delivery, monitoring, and documentation, and participate in our on-call rotation.
The work requires hands-on data engineering experience. Our stack; BigQuery, SQLMesh, Python, Dagster- is distinct from Splice 's web engineering stack, and effective contribution requires domain expertise in data pipeline systems, not general software engineering background.
TEAM INFORMATION:
You'll be joining Splice 's Data Engineering team, a small, embedded platform team responsible for the pipelines, transformations, and warehouse infrastructure the rest of the company depends on. Our systems support finance-critical processes (contributor payouts, GAAP revenue reporting), product analytics, and data reliability for customer-facing features like recommendations. We operate with a shared on-call rotation and a strong bias toward observable, well-documented, durable systems.
WHAT YOU’LL DO:
Pipeline Development & Transformation
Build and maintain data models in SQLMesh, including incremental strategies, testing, and documentation
Continuously improve and evolve our orchestration and transformation infrastructure as the platform scales
Modernize legacy pipeline jobs in Python and SQLMesh, reducing technical debt over time
Reliability & Observability
Participate in on-call rotation; triage and resolve incidents including ETL failures, data unavailability, and core metric breakage
Build introspectable software: define alert thresholds, emit metrics and logs, produce dashboards, and establish closed-loop escalation paths
Improve observability across the platform so failures are caught early and resolved quickly
Finance & Revenue Pipelines
Extend and maintain pipelines powering creator payouts and GAAP-compliant revenue reporting across Splice 's product lines
Build pipeline support for new revenue streams as Splice launches them
Platform Quality & Optimization
Improve query performance and reduce compute costs in BigQuery
Contribute to ingestion platform work and product analytics infrastructure
Uphold our definition of done: validation complete, documentation updated, monitoring in place before closing a ticket
JOB REQUIREMENTS:
3+ years of hands-on data engineering experience in a production environment
Proficiency in SQL — window functions, CTEs, query optimization, execution plan analysis
Proficiency in Python for pipeline logic, data transformation, and testing (maintainable code, not just scripts)
Experience with a modern transformation framework — SQLMesh, dbt, or equivalent — including incremental models, testing, and documentation
Production experience with a cloud data warehouse (we use BigQuery); understands partitioning, clustering, and cost management
Experience with at least one workflow orchestrator (Dagster, Airflow, Prefect, or equivalent)
Demonstrated ability to build observable, reliable data systems — alerting, dashboards, and data quality checks
Comfortable owning small-to-medium features from technical design through delivery with limited guidance
