Full-time
Pathways keeps data flowing between 240+ integrations and the Strand graph, in real time, without anyone having to think about it. We are looking for a Data Infrastructure Engineer to join the team that builds and maintains the sync engine underneath everything we do.
About the Role
This role is focused on the hard, unglamorous problems that make a platform trustworthy: conflict resolution when two sources disagree, retry logic that does not silently lose data, and observability that tells us something is wrong before a customer does. If you like working close to the data layer and care about getting the edge cases right, this role is built for you.
What You Will Work On
Build and maintain real-time and scheduled sync pipelines across 240+ integrations
Design conflict resolution logic for sources that disagree about the same underlying data
Improve retry and recovery behavior so failures never result in silent data loss
Build observability and audit logging across the entire pipeline layer
Work with the Cortex team on how synced data gets mapped into the knowledge graph
Evaluate and onboard new integration sources as customer demand grows
What We Are Looking For
4 or more years of experience working on data pipelines, ETL systems, or similar infrastructure
Strong understanding of data consistency, idempotency, and failure recovery patterns
Experience working with a wide variety of source systems, such as databases, SaaS APIs, and event streams
Proficiency in Python, TypeScript, or Go
A methodical approach to debugging issues that span multiple systems
Clear written communication for an async, remote team
What We Offer
Competitive salary and meaningful equity
Fully remote with no required timezone
25 days paid vacation plus local public holidays
5,000 USD annual learning and development budget
Home office stipend to set up a workspace that works for you
Health, dental, and vision coverage
