Senior Staff Software Engineer, Data Governance & Metadata Systems

Marqeta processes hundreds of billions of dollars in payments a year, in a highly regulated card-issuing environment. Data provenance, quality, and access control are foundational to meeting our regulatory obligations and the needs of critical business functions, and we treat them as engineering problems. We are hiring the engineer who will design and lead implementation of the data governance platform, with contracts, compliance requirements, and quality standards enforced in CI and in the write path.

You will be its technical lead. The role sits within the Data and ML team, which owns the data lake, the analytics platform, and our ML platform. You will work alongside the leads who define governance policy and enterprise data models, translating what they need into what the platform can enforce and telling them what it will cost. You will set technical direction across the platform team and partner with TPMs and engineering managers on planning and prioritization.

We work Flexible First. This role can be performed remotely within the United States. We’d love for you to join us!
