We know our journey is only achievable by having a great team who shares ideas, tries new things, and learns as we go.

Who you are:

As a Data Engineer at Semios, you will design, build, and maintain scalable, reliable cloud-based data systems that transform raw data into trusted, analysis-ready datasets. You will work closely with our Engineering and Data Science teams to optimize data pipelines, integrate diverse data sources, and build AI-ready data foundations that power innovative products and data-driven insights for agriculture.

What you will do:

• Help architect and build cloud-based systems to manage and improve the interface between Semios data and its consumers.
• Design, develop and maintain scalable infrastructure to process and store data, integrate data­-driven models and automate manual processes.
• Build and maintain models that turn raw measurements into trusted, analysis-ready datasets in a multi-cloud environment.
• Design and build reliable, monitorable and fault-tolerant data systems and data processes.
• Create data tools for analytics and data science team members that assist them in building and optimizing our product into an innovative industry leader.
• Model large, complex datasets that meet business and product requirements.
• Optimize pipeline performance and cost (partitioning, clustering, incremental models), and lead refactoring and migrations.
• Make our data AI-ready: well-modelled, documented and governed datasets that power LLM-based agents, analytics assistants and ML models.
• Build and maintain ingestion pipelines from third-party and partner APIs.
• Write clear documentation of data structures and Data APIs across products.

Requirements

We want you to succeed, so you will need:

• 3–5 years of relevant professional experience in Data Engineering, preferably working with cloud-based data platforms and production data pipelines.
• Advanced skills in SQL; how to write elegant queries that minimize data processing, scanning, and latency.
• Experience with at least one Data Warehouse (BigQuery, Redshift, Snowflake or an on-prem equivalent) and with Postgres or another relational database.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills: a talent for distilling complex ideas for different audiences.
• In-depth experience building and operating production data pipelines at scale, with a track record of reliable collection, storage and access.
• Hands-on experience with provisioning and developing on cloud platforms, particularly GCP (BigQuery, Cloud SQL, Cloud Run) and AWS.
• Proven experience with workflow and scheduling tools like Prefect, Dagster or similar.
• The ability to thrive both autonomously and in a team environment.
• Excellent troubleshooting skills to rapidly identify and resolve issues.
• Experience with dbt (or a similar SQL-based transformation tool) in production.
• Experience integrating AI assistants into your development workflow, and a thoughtful view on where they speed things up and where they need close supervision.
• Fluency in Python, Node or other imperative language.
  

Nice to have:

• Real-world experience with containers (Docker) & container management systems (Kubernetes).
• Experience with IoT data: ingesting and processing time-series sensor data from field devices in the cloud.
• Experience building LLM-based agents to aid development and deployment, and AI agents for customer-facing data analytics.
• Advanced education in Big Data, whether from academia, or certifications.
  

Salary range: $95,000 to $115, 000 per year

We publish a salary range to provide transparency and represent the full growth potential of the role; as a result, offers are made based on demonstrated mastery and experience and generally fall near the midpoint.
