Data Engineer
Role Summary
Wolfe is a Pittsburgh-based FinTech company embedding AI across its product, its internal processes, and the way its teams work day-to-day, and the Data Engineer supports that shift. Working within the Data Platform team, this role builds and maintains the pipelines and data models that turn raw source data into governed, curated datasets the organization can rely on. Day to day it integrates enterprise and marketing sources, including GA4, ad platforms, CRM, email, affiliate, and social alongside core operational systems, into trusted data products, and improves those datasets so teams can use AI-driven and self-service analytics with confidence. The role works closely with senior data engineers under Wolfe's federated hub-and-spoke governance model, taking direction on architecture and standards from the central Data Platform team while independently delivering well-defined data work.
