Staff Data Platform Engineer, Enterprise Data & AI

Radiant•El Segundo, CA

About The Position

We're building a new team to own Radiant's internal data infrastructure, executive analytics, and AI capabilities. As a Staff Data Platform Engineer, you'll be hands-on building the integrations and pipelines that connect Radiant's operational systems—Finance, HR, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, and Recruiting—into a unified data platform. Your first priority will be the ION-Ramp integration: building the pipeline that enables three-way matching (PO + Receipt + Invoice) between our manufacturing execution system and payments platform. This directly reduces manual work for the Finance team. From there, you'll expand to connect 9 enterprise systems, build dbt transformation models, and ensure data quality across the platform.

Requirements

5+ years of data engineering or software engineering experience
Python and SQL proficiency—you'll write both daily
Experience with data warehouses—Databricks, Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift
ETL/ELT pipeline development—Fivetran, Airbyte, Stitch, or custom pipeline experience
API integration experience—REST, GraphQL; you're comfortable reading API docs and building integrations with enterprise SaaS tools
Data modeling skills—dimensional modeling, schema design, understanding of how data will be used downstream

Nice To Haves

Background in hardware or hardtech companies—you understand manufacturing, supply chain, and physical product development
Experience with dbt (data build tool)
Experience with data quality frameworks and testing (Great Expectations, dbt tests, etc.)
Comfortable building lightweight internal tools—Python/Flask, basic frontend—or using AI coding assistants (Cursor, Copilot) to extend your capabilities
Familiarity with MES, ERP, or supply chain systems (ION, SAP, NetSuite, etc.)

Responsibilities

Build integrations: Configure Fivetran connectors, build custom pipelines, and connect 9 enterprise systems (ION, Ramp, QuickBooks, Rippling, Ashby, Salesforce, SharePoint, Smartsheet, DocuSign)
Develop the ION-Ramp pipeline: Build the Snowflake → Databricks → Ramp pipeline that enables three-way matching for Finance
Write dbt models: Transform raw data into clean, documented, tested models for dashboards and analytics
Ensure data quality: Implement testing, monitoring, and alerting for data pipelines; catch issues before they reach dashboards
Support dashboards: Work with the PM and stakeholders to ensure the data models support Finance, Operations, and HR/Recruiting dashboards
Document everything: Maintain clear documentation for pipelines, models, and data definitions
