Transformative Data Engineer

At Windfall Bio, we're pioneering biotech innovation to tackle the world's most pressing environmental challenges. Our cutting-edge solutions focus on capturing and converting climate-harming methane emissions into valuable products. By harnessing the power of methane-eating microbes and advanced technology, we create sustainable outputs that significantly reduce industries' carbon footprint and environmental impact.

About the Role

Data is a vital asset at Windfall Bio. Our products rely on collecting and processing data throughout the 'Methane Capture to Value' pipeline to generate accurate, verifiable insights. Given our global enterprise customers, the data platform must be robust, scalable, and highly secure.

  • Collaborate closely with scientists and bioengineers across the company

Your work will have a direct impact on saving the planet.

About You

You're a senior software engineer with a passion for data and a track record of shipping production-quality software. You excel at building data pipelines and orchestrating ETL workflows, with a strong understanding of databases and ORMs. With prior startup experience, you balance tech debt, time-to-market, and infrastructure robustness. You've successfully built scalable, enterprise-grade software in high-growth environments.

  • 5+ years of programming experience, preferably in Python
  • Strong knowledge of databases and ORMs
  • Experience in two or more of the following:
  • Data warehouses (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery, Iceberg)
  • Data job orchestration (e.g., Dagster, Airflow)
  • Batch and stream processing (e.g., Kafka, Kinesis)
  • Data cataloging and life-cycle management
  • Experience with at least one public cloud provider (AWS, GCP, Azure)
  • Low ego, high empathy, and the capacity to collaborate effectively with scientists and bioengineers
  • Thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous, high-growth environment

Benefits

  • Medical, Dental, and Vision Health Coverage
  • Maternity/Paternity Leave Policies
  • Flexible Spending Account
  • Employee Assistance Program
  • Flexible Vacation Policy
