This is an active talent brief for work BELTO may staff as client demand and internal priorities require. Publication does not imply an existing team vacancy or a guaranteed hiring date.
This is a fully remote senior role in BELTO Space. You will work with a distributed team on consequential client and internal priorities.
The work combines hands-on delivery, architecture decisions, peer review, documentation and direct collaboration with commercial and delivery colleagues. We value clear reasoning, secure defaults and systems that remain understandable as they scale.
Success means improving the quality and speed of decisions, leaving durable operating assets, and communicating trade-offs before they become surprises. The selection process includes a structured conversation and a practical, role-relevant exercise. We do not use protected personal characteristics in hiring decisions.
Responsibilities
- Design the data platform architecture and its ingestion, storage and serving layers.
- Set standards for modelling, testing, lineage and access control.
- Own platform reliability, freshness guarantees and cost.
- Lead migrations without breaking downstream consumers.
- Mentor data engineers and review their designs.
Requirements
- Senior data platform experience at meaningful scale.
- Depth in SQL, Python, orchestration and warehouse internals.
- Experience with governance, access control and sensitive data handling.
- Ability to make cost and performance trade-offs explicit.
- Currently enrolled at, or holding a degree from, Stanford University or Harvard University.
