The world doesn’t need giant media organizations to tell every story. The world needs millions of creators. People who are brave enough to share their own stories, create their own art. To educate and inspire the world.

We’re working to help every creator earn a living and help companies find the right content creators to work with.

Modash is the starting place to create sponsorships for thousands of creators every month. We help creators find their voice and be visible for brands to find them. Modash platform helps iconic consumer brands scale their partnerships with online creators. We’re looking for a full-time Senior Data Engineer to join our Data team to help bring our mission to life.

Being a Data Engineer at Modash

• Take ownership of building the best data platform for influencer marketing.

• Collaborate with your colleagues, from pair programming to mob reviewing. We are all for one.

• Help us choose the best technical direction by providing well-reasoned ideas on which frameworks and tools to use.
• Implement systems to monitor data quality for optimized accuracy and clarity.
• Teach and be taught through code reviews and feedback.

What we do not expect you to do is:

• Be dependent on others. You should be a fully autonomous and proactive individual.

• Fully remote working 🏠. As long as you have a reliable internet connection, we want you to work wherever is best for you. At home, in a café, on a beach. Whatever works.
• Personal development 🧠. When you grow, we benefit. If there’s a course, book, or conference that will help you upskill – we’ll cover it.
• Ownership 💡. You’re the expert at what you do, and so you should have the flexibility to make decisions and take action quickly. No unnecessary red tape. Got an out-of-the-box idea? You’ll have the autonomy to go ahead and try things that you might not be able to at other companies.

• You aspire to be great. We’re not shooting for mediocrity here.
• Interest in the creator economy. Our mission is to help creators get paid. You don’t need to live and breathe the creator world, but we’d like it if your values align with ours.
