SmileDirectClub is looking for an experienced Data Engineer to help design and scale our data pipelines to help our engineers, operations team, marketing managers, and analysts make better decisions with data.

If you have experience working on ETL pipelines and love thinking about how data models and schemas should be architected, we want to hear from you.
SmileDirectClub was founded on a simple belief: everyone deserves a smile they love. We are the first digital brand for your smile. The company was built upon a realization that recent trends in 3D printing and telehealth could bring about disruptive change to the invisible aligner market. By leveraging proprietary cutting-edge technology, we’re helping customers avoid office visits and cutting their costs by up to 70 percent because people shouldn’t have to pay a small fortune for a better smile.

We’re looking for someone who:
- Has a curiosity about how things work
- Is willing to role-up their sleeves to leverage Big Data and discover new key performance indicators
- Has built enterprise data pipelines and can craft clean and beautiful code in SQL, Python, and/or R

- Experience in the latest/cutting edge design and development of big data solutions
- Proficiency in the latest trends in big data analytics and architecture
- Can jump into situations with few guardrails and make things better
- Possesses strong computer science fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, programming languages, distributed systems, and information retrieval
- Is a strong communicator. Explaining complex technical concepts to product managers, support, and other engineers is no problem for you
- When things break, and they will, is eager and able to help fix them
- Is someone that others enjoy working with due to your technical competence and positive attitude
