About the role
We’re looking for an engineer who thrives on building scalable data platforms and enjoys tackling complex backend challenges. This isn’t just a data engineering role, you’ll be designing and optimizing the data platform that powers Terminal’s API, managing everything from data streaming and storage to analytics features at petabyte scale.
You will lead building the data platform for the long-term vision. You’ll not only design and deliver complex systems, but also drive technical strategy, set architectural direction, and influence how the data platform evolves. You’ll partner closely with product, engineering teams, and leadership to ensure we’re building the right abstractions and reusable components that scale with our growth. You know when to slow down to build the right solution vs. work against time. This is a role with broader ownership, where your leadership and judgment will raise the technical bar across the team and directly impact how customers succeed with high-volume telematics data.
