About the role
Location: Remote, US
Duration: FTE
Reports To: VP of Product Engineering
Compensation: $120,000-$160,000 per year
We’re at a critical moment in our growth as an organization. 2024 is a year of incredible change at CodePath and we’re looking for the right data engineer to lead the charge on our small, skilled, and growing team in the next phase of our exponential growth and impact as we transform computer science education. Our platform overview is a must watch in order to understand the significance that our Data Engineering team will play in the actualization of our mission.
As an early hire in data engineering, you will collaborate with stakeholders across the organization to help build and maintain our next generation data infrastructure. In order to build out our data warehousing and ETL/ELT infrastructure the right way, we are looking for somebody resourceful with a problem solving mindset who is self-directed and able to work closely with data scientists, software developers, and business stakeholders. We expect this infrastructure, once built out, to be self-serve, accurate and secure/compliant as it enables all sorts of data science projects, ML modeling, and BI analysis across everything we do from the delivery of our courses, student marketing, sales and fundraising — which makes this a challenging, creative, and exciting technical position for an experienced data engineer.
The ideal candidate is a true early stage startup Data Engineer and is inspired by CodePath’s ambitious vision to transform education starting with computer science, and to train engineers who will generate over $1.5T in wealth for low-income communities within the next 20 years.
