We’re looking for an Identity Data Engineer who is passionate about data quality, intellectually curious about how real-world identities get resolved, and ready to get deep into the details.
You’ll work directly with PII-class data at a low level — examining records, interrogating match logic, and developing a genuine understanding of why our matching engines make the decisions they do. Our matching engines link consumer and household identity signals across diverse data sources, combining deterministic logic with increasingly AI-assisted probabilistic resolution. You’ll help enhance these engines — improving match rates, reducing false positives, and extending asset coverage. As our AI-augmented matching capabilities grow, so will this role. There is a real long-term track here for an engineer who wants to go deep on identity.
Identity Data Engineering
Write complex SQL and Python to transform, deduplicate, and enrich identity data at scale — including direct work with PII fields such as names, addresses, emails, and phone numbers.
Matching Engine Enhancement
Partner with senior engineers and data scientists to enhance our AI-assisted matching engine — contributing to feature design, scoring logic, model evaluation, and threshold tuning.
Work cross-functionally with Data Science, Product, and downstream engineering teams to translate identity requirements into reliable, scalable solutions.
Participate in code reviews and architectural discussions; apply engineering best practices across the full delivery lifecycle — design, implement, test, and deploy via CI/CD.
Build automated validation frameworks and quality tracking pipelines that continuously monitor asset health — including data completeness, match consistency, and anomaly detection — and surface results through clear, actionable reporting.
Deep Snowflake fluency: data modeling, complex querying, Streams and Tasks, performance tuning, and preferably Snowpark for Python-native workloads.
Some experience or genuine curiosity around identity matching, deduplication, record linkage, or data quality at scale.
Familiarity with consumer or household identity signals: name, address, email, phone, and cross-source linkage.
