Who this pool is for

Matching roles are remote. Data professionals anywhere can join.

Senior engineers on carbon.talent take on technically complex data platform work: designing lakehouse architectures, leading migrations, and mentoring junior engineers. Companies reach out to Carbon when they need someone who can own the data platform, not just maintain it.

What we look for

  • 5+ years building production data pipelines and platforms
  • Deep expertise with dbt, Spark, and at least one major cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure)
  • Experience architecting Medallion / lakehouse patterns at scale
  • Kafka, Flink, or similar streaming experience a strong plus
  • Track record of delivering platform improvements that reduced incident rates or improved data freshness
