About the Role
We're hiring a Staff Data Engineer to build the data foundation for a new discovery-stage team focused on Taskrabbit client retention and personalization. The team's mandate is to turn our biggest unaddressed retention bet — predicting what home service a client will need and when, then reaching them proactively — from concept into validated, in-market tests. You'll be one of four new hires on a small, cross-functional pod (Product, Design, Marketing, BizOps, Machine Learning, and Engineering) reporting through Product and matrixed with Data Engineering leadership.
This is a hands-on, individual-contributor role one level below our Staff Data Engineer track: you'll own the design and build of specific data pipelines and models rather than set architectural direction for the broader platform, working closely with the team's Solutions Architect and Machine Learning Engineer as you go. It's a strong fit for someone who wants outsized ownership on a small team, is energized by ambiguity and fast iteration, and wants to help prove out (or kill) a major product bet with real evidence rather than another deck.
