About the role
Data sits behind nearly every decision at Grüns. As we scale, our reporting, operations, internal tools, and AI initiatives all depend on pipelines that are fast, accurate, and trusted. This role builds and owns that infrastructure. You'll take a business problem, design the pipeline behind it, and stay with it through production.
This role is part of our remote HQ! We have a fully remote, high-trust work environment - and also come together on a biannual basis for amazing off-sites where we can connect IRL.
In this role, you will:
- Design, build, and own custom data pipelines from source systems into our warehouse, including integrations with messy or poorly documented APIs.
- Build and operate Airflow DAGs for scheduled and event-triggered workflows.
- Develop dbt models and a governed semantic layer that analysts, internal tools, and AI agents can trust.
- Develop reusable patterns for incremental syncs, retries, replay, backfills, and event processing so the team ships faster over time
- Build monitoring, quality checks, and reconciliation that catch problems before bad data reaches reports, teams, or AI tools
- Diagnose and resolve production incidents involving missing, delayed, duplicated, or incorrect data
- Partner with Finance, Operations, Growth, and Technology to turn ambiguous requests into durable data products
- Use AI coding agents to accelerate implementation, testing, and debugging while remaining accountable for architecture, correctness, and quality.
- Document architectural decisions, system ownership, and recovery procedures so critical knowledge is accessible and systems remain supportable.
We're looking for someone who:
- Has 3+ years in data engineering, analytics engineering, or a closely related engineering role, with a track record beyond execution-only work
- Writes production-quality Python and advanced SQL, with an emphasis on maintainable, well-tested code.
- Has designed, built, and operated Airflow workflows for custom data pipelines.
- Has strong dbt and dimensional modeling fundamentals: grain, keys, facts, dimensions, incremental models, tests, documentation, and schema evolution
- Has built custom integrations against third-party APIs, webhooks, files, or event streams, not just configured managed connectors
- Knows API ingestion deeply: authentication, pagination, rate limits, incremental synchronization, retries, and historical backfills
- Has owned at least one business-critical pipeline from design through production support, including monitoring, alerting, logging, reconciliation, CI/CD, and runbooks
- Has worked in a high-growth environment, ideally DTC or subscription, where priorities and source systems change often
- Brings broad, hands-on experience across the data stack rather than specializing in one narrow area.
- Uses AI coding agents fluently for implementation, testing, debugging, refactoring, and review, with the judgment to catch what they get wrong
- Experience with BigQuery, GCP, and Cloud Composer is a plus
Approach to the role:
- Takes ownership from problem definition through production operation, including the unglamorous monitoring, debugging, and maintenance
- Starts with the business decision and the source of truth before choosing a technical solution
- Thinks in failure modes: what breaks, who it affects downstream, and how it recovers
- Moves fast and independently without normalizing fragile shortcuts or one-off scripts
- Digs into discrepancies until the real cause surfaces, not the first plausible explanation
- Speaks up clearly when systems, definitions, or stakeholder expectations conflict
- Documents decisions and builds patterns that make everyone else faster
- Uses AI coding agents to accelerate implementation, testing, debugging, and review while maintaining strong judgment and ownership of the output.
Compensation & Benefits:
At Grüns, we're committed to providing a competitive total compensation package — grounded in market data that considers our size, stage, industry, and location. For this role, the base salary range is $150,000-$170,000 plus bonus depending on experience, paired with a comprehensive benefits package designed to support the well-being and growth of our team.
A bit about us...
At Grüns, we believe that foundational nutrition should be simple and convenient for everyone. We're dedicated to bringing comprehensive and real nutrition to you through our gummies, formulated from 60 nutrient-dense and whole-food ingredients. Simply enjoy a grab-and-go snack pack of gummies daily whenever fits best in your schedule and wherever life takes you.
Like you, we were disappointed. There’s an infinite number of “nutrition” companies, all focused on what’s best for them — not what’s best for you. Hundreds of products to sell you on, low-quality ingredients, and small nutrient doses. We’ve seen it all.
So we decided it was time to fix it. No more choking on and popping pills like a pharmacy. No more clean-up and disgust from gross powders. And no more cobbling together handfuls to dozens of supplements. Grüns is comprehensive nutrition, made convenient and delicious.
What we care about...
Be the Best: We hold ourselves, our teams, and our partners to an incredibly high standard - and we raise the bar constantly. "We've never done this before" isn't an excuse here. It's an invitation.
Own It: We act like our name is on the door. That means taking complete ownership of outcomes, collaborating deeply, working through roadblocks - not around them - and never waiting for someone else to solve the problem. Great owners are great partners.
Drive Impact, Urgently: We measure impact, not effort. We work smart and hard, move fast, and use every tool at our disposal - including AI - to focus our energy where it matters most.
Compensation & Perks:
For every role, we aim to have highly competitive compensation and opportunity for impact and career growth.
Everyone at Grüns works hard, but we believe in wellness and balance too. We have super strong benefits coverage -- for you and your family, generous PTO, free Grüns, and a few more perks centered around health and well-being that we can't wait to tell you about!
