Staff Data Engineer
About the role
Fora Financial is at an inflection point, modernizing our legacy stack to build the foundation for AI-native analytics. To lead this effort, we are hiring a Staff Data Engineer to build and own the platform backbone for governed reporting and trusted AI workflows.
This is a hands-on Staff IC role on a small Data & AI team. You will make strategic architecture calls—from ingestion patterns and Snowflake design to data contracts and SLAs—and then get into the weeds to build, harden, or rebuild pipelines.
We are looking for a systems thinker who understands business impact and operational burden, and who can partner closely with Analytics, Engineering, and vendors to turn fragmented source systems into trustworthy data products.
