Rooted in rigorous research and peer-reviewed studies, Seed is setting new standards for efficacy, safety, and trust in the biotics category. Our flagship innovation, DS-01® Daily Synbiotic, is a pre- and probiotic studied in multiple human clinical trials and trusted by over one million people for its systemic benefits, including gut, skin, immune, and heart health. Our pipeline of gut-directed innovations, developed in collaboration with world-renowned researchers and clinicians, harnesses the microbiome as a driver of longevity, systemic health, and daily well-being. Grounded in the ethos that human and planetary health are interconnected, our environmental research division, SeedLabs, advances microbial interventions to enhance biodiversity and help restore ecosystems impacted by human activity.
You
As our Data Engineer, you will be the architect and steward of Seed's data infrastructure. You have a deep passion for building reliable, scalable data systems that empower teams to make data-driven decisions. You will own our data pipelines, warehouse infrastructure, and custom integrations—ensuring data quality, accessibility, and performance across the organization.
This role requires both strategic vision and hands-on execution. You're as comfortable architecting data warehouse schemas as you are debugging a failed Fivetran sync at 9am. You bring both systems-level thinking and meticulous attention to data quality in everything you build.
- 4+ years of professional data engineering experience
- Expert-level knowledge of modern data stack (Snowflake, dbt, Fivetran, Airflow)
- Experience building custom ETL/ELT pipelines and API integrations
- Proven ability to design data warehouse architectures and optimize query performance
- Deep knowledge of SQL, Python, and data modeling best practices
- Strong collaboration and communication skills across technical and non-technical teams
What You'll Do
Own the Data Infrastructure
- Build and maintain production-ready data pipelines that power business intelligence, experimentation, and scientific discovery
- Manage and optimize our Snowflake data warehouse—monitoring performance, costs, and query efficiency
- Make technical architectural decisions about data modeling, warehouse design, and pipeline orchestration
- Drive reliability and observability across the data stack through monitoring, alerting, and documentation
- Partner with Analytics and Reporting team to ensure the infrastructure serves both technical and business needs
Champion Data Quality & Reliability
- Act as the engineering checkpoint for data integrity, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and timeliness
- Implement robust data quality testing, validation, and monitoring frameworks
- Design and maintain data governance policies, access controls, and security standards
- Troubleshoot and resolve data pipeline failures with urgency and precision
Lead Custom Integration Development
- Build custom ETL/ELT solutions for data sources not supported by out-of-the-box connectors
- Design API integrations with third-party platforms (Amazon Seller Central, advertising platforms, etc.)
- Develop scalable, maintainable code with comprehensive error handling and logging
- Deploy and orchestrate jobs using Heroku, Airflow, or similar scheduling tools
- Monitor production systems and respond to failures proactively
Bridge Data & Business
- Translate stakeholder data requirements into technical solutions
- Collaborate with Analytics, Product, and Marketing teams on feasibility and technical guidance
- Participate in data architecture discussions with Engineering leadership
