11x is a company focused on building AI solutions, and they are seeking a Data Engineer who will take ownership of critical infrastructure to support AI applications. The role involves designing systems for data ingestion, building scalable data pipelines, and contributing to the overall data architecture that powers AI products.

• Partner closely with product and engineering teams to unlock new AI product capabilities
• Improve reliability, observability, performance, and scalability across our data stack
• Contribute across backend systems and infrastructure, not just traditional data engineering projects

• Strong experience building and maintaining production-grade data systems and pipelines
• Experience with Python and Typescript
• Strong backend engineering fundamentals beyond traditional data engineering
• High agency — you naturally move things forward without waiting for direction
• Comfort operating in ambiguity and building without a playbook
• Strong systems thinking and architectural intuition
• Ability to balance speed with long-term scalability
• Strong problem-solving skills and a willingness to own problems end-to-end
• Hungry to grow. You want expanding scope, responsibility, and ownership over time
• Excitement about AI-native workflows and the future of software development
• Experience with ClickHouse or other columnar databases
• Experience building customer data platforms (CDPs)
• Experience with Airbyte or similar data integration and ingestion platforms
• Experience with CRM integrations and synchronization systems
• Experience designing data lake architecture
