Principal Data Engineer

Lenexa, KS

 

About the Role:
weavix is seeking a hands-on, business-minded Senior or Principal Data Engineer to architect and own our data infrastructure from the ground up. This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of data at a high-growth startup where IoT, scale, and performance are core to our mission.

You’ll be the technical lead for everything data — building pipelines, architecting systems, and working cross-functionally to extract insights that power customer growth, analyze user behavior, and improve system reliability and performance. This is a highly autonomous role, perfect for someone with startup experience who enjoys solving complex problems independently.

What You’ll Do:

  • Architect, build, and maintain scalable data systems and pipelines to ingest and process large-scale data from IoT devices and user activity
  • Own the design and implementation of our cloud-based data platform (Microsoft Azure strongly preferred; GCP or AWS also acceptable)
  • Enable data-driven decision-making across product, engineering, and business teams
  • Create a data architecture that supports both operational and analytical use cases (growth analytics, performance monitoring, system scaling)
  • Ensure data quality, observability, governance, and security across all systems
  • Serve as the subject matter expert on data systems, operating as a senior IC without a team initially

What You Bring:

  • 6+ years of experience in data engineering, ideally within a startup or high-growth environment
  • Proven ability to independently design, implement, and manage scalable data architectures
  • Deep experience working with large datasets, ideally from IoT sources or other high-volume systems
  • Proficiency with modern data tools and languages (e.g., Typescript, NodeJS, SQL, etc.)
  • Strong cloud experience, ideally with Microsoft Azure (but AWS or GCP also acceptable)
  • A business-focused mindset with the ability to connect technical work to strategic outcomes
  • Experience with New Relic, Metabase, Postgres, Grafana, Azure Storage, MongoDB, or other storage, database, graphing, or alerting platforms.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills across technical and non-technical teams

Bonus Points For:

  • Experience with event-driven or real-time data systems (Kafka, Kinesis, etc.)
  • Familiarity with BI tools and self-service analytics platforms
  • Background in system performance monitoring and observability tools

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
