Senior Data Engineer

Blue J

31d • Remote

About The Position

Blue J is the leading generative AI solution for tax professionals. As a B2B
SaaS company, our customers are accountants and tax experts who rely on our
market-leading software to deliver fast, accurate, and defensible answers to
complex tax questions.

With the launch of our flagship generative AI product, we’ve consistently
exceeded our revenue targets quarter over quarter and continue to accelerate our
growth. Our product roadmap is ambitious, customer-focused, and designed to
deliver exceptional value at speed.

On the heels of our $122M USD Series D funding, we’re moving quickly with an
exciting roadmap. We are now looking for a Senior Data Engineer who thrives in a
fast-paced environment to help build, scale, and govern the analytics foundation
that powers decision-making across the company.

Reporting to the CTO, this role will own the core analytics platform — from
ingestion standards to transformation patterns to consumption frameworks —
ensuring our data warehouse is reliable, cost-efficient, and governed in a way
that scales beyond a single person. This is a hands-on role for someone who
enjoys building durable data systems, designing governance that empowers other
teams to own their data products, and balancing speed with long-term
scalability.

Data sits at the center of how Blue J operates and scales. As our first
dedicated Data Engineer, you will own the analytics data platform — not just the
warehouse and models, but the standards, patterns, and guardrails that allow the
rest of the organization to produce and consume data with confidence. Your goal
is to build the foundation that lets teams own their own data products while
maintaining quality, consistency, and trust across the business.
This role combines technical ownership, governance design, and stakeholder
partnership. You'll balance hands-on building with enabling others —
centralizing the standards so ownership can be distributed.

Requirements

• A minimum of 6 years of experience in Data Engineering, Analytics Engineering, or a closely related role
• A minimum of 2 years of hands-on experience owning a Snowflake data warehouse in a production environment
• Strong experience with dbt, including model design, testing, and documentation
• Experience managing data ingestion tools such as Fivetran (or similar)
• A solid understanding of data engineering best practices, including dimensional modeling and metric governance
• Comfort working cross-functionally with Marketing, Sales, Customer Success, Finance, Product, and Operations
• Experience prioritizing competing stakeholder requests in a fast-moving environment
• Familiarity with BI tools and how downstream users interact with data
• A pragmatic mindset: you care about correctness, scalability, and cost—but also about enabling teams to move fast
• Experience working in B2B SaaS and/or a scaling, high-growth environment

Responsibilities

• Own the Analytics Data Platform & Governance Standards
• Build & Govern Gold-Level Data Marts
• Stakeholder Partnership & Prioritization
• Cost Monitoring & Optimization

Benefits

• A rare opportunity to own and shape the analytics foundation at a high-growth, AI-powered company.
• High visibility and impact—your work directly influences how leaders and teams make decisions.
• We’re well-funded and offer competitive base salaries and stock options. You’ll play a crucial role in our growth, and it’s important to us that you share in our long-term success.
• We are taking an exciting, highly anticipated new product into a virtually untapped market at a time when there is a huge amount of buzz around the type of work that we do. You’ll have the opportunity to work at our growing organization, and play a meaningful role in our expansion.
• We've got great leadership and you'll get to work with and learn from leaders with a proven track record of success in the technology industry.
• We’ve got an amazing team. We’re mission-driven and motivated by success, but we’re friendly, we’re collaborative, and we care about each other. We’ve got all the start-up perks you’d expect, and are intentionally building a culture where you can pickleball if you want, feel safe to be yourself at work, and watch your career grow because your team has invested in you.
• We care about you. You’ll have a healthy work/life balance and colleagues who respect it. We’ve mindfully put together a great benefits package that covers you and your whole family.
