Headquartered in Oregon, Foureyes® is a remote-first company with 90 employees in 21 states. We are privately owned and focused on the automotive vertical. We believe human intellect paired with data-driven AI is the winning combination and are on a mission to bring that winning combination to automotive dealerships with easy-to-love software. We're a software company that thinks about people first, seeking to put humans back in the starring role with every innovation.

About the Role

We are seeking a senior engineer to help design and implement the core data platform powering our next-generation product architecture. This role will focus on building scalable data ingestion, transformation, and integration across multiple internal and external data sources, using AWS-native services. You will work closely with engineering leadership to establish a robust data lake and transformation layer that supports our APIs, microservices, and downstream analytics. The ideal candidate is comfortable working at the intersection of data engineering and application integration.

Responsibilities

• Lead the design and implementation of scalable data ingestion, transformation, and integration pipelines using AWS-native services.
• Collaborate with engineering leadership to establish a robust data lake and transformation layer supporting APIs, microservices, and analytics.
• Work cross-functionally with product, engineering, and analytics teams to ensure data availability, reliability, and performance.
• Translate business requirements into system design, architecture diagrams, and technical documentation.
• Present complex concepts or solutions to diverse audiences through clear written and verbal communication.
• Operate in a team’s on-call rotation to address complex problems in real-time and maintain service availability.
• Apply security best practices for data storage, transfer, and API access.
• Integrate AWS data pipelines with external platforms (e.g., Snowflake, Metabase, reporting tools).

Requirements

• 7-10 years of professional experience in software development, ideally with exposure to big data and data-rich applications.
• 5+ years working in an AWS cloud-native environment.
• Strong hands-on experience with AWS data services: S3, Glue (ETL/Jobs, Data Catalog, DataBrew), Athena, Lake Formation, Step Functions, Lambda, Kinesis Data Stream, and API Gateway.
• Expertise in designing and optimizing data pipelines for high-volume, multi-source ingestion of structured and semi-structured data in a multi-tenant architecture.
• Experience with entity resolution, data cleansing, data quality, and anomaly detection.
• Expert-level skills developing back-end distributed systems and data pipelines using Python, SQL, Step Functions, and Lambdas.
• Strong proficiency with TypeScript and Node.js for building backend services (REST/JSON APIs, async workflows, integration with AWS services).
• Comfort working with cloud data warehouses (Athena, Snowflake, Redshift, BigQuery, or similar).
• Experience building event-driven and notification systems (SNS/SQS, EventBridge, Pub/Sub, webhooks) and orchestration frameworks (StepFunctions or equivalent).
• Experience integrating AWS data pipelines with external platforms (e.g., Snowflake, Metabase, reporting tools).
• Strong problem-solving skills and knowledge of applied algorithms to solve real-world problems efficiently.
• Strong leadership skills, comfortable both leading engineers and implementing solutions hands-on.
• Experience working across disciplines, partnering with BI, ML, and product teams to translate ideas into customer-facing features.

Nice to Have

• Prior experience in data-rich SaaS products.
• Experience with auth & access control for data-driven applications in a multitenant environment.
• Familiarity with data governance concepts (lineage, permissions, quality checks).
• Deployment experience (AWS CDK, CI/CD, containerized services, serverless functions).
• Exposure to generative AI or LLM-based data exploration tools.
• Comfort operating in an AI-first engineering organization using tools like Spec Kit, Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and similar platforms.
