Senior Data Engineer

Kaisa.io is on a mission to transform life’s most important purchases – like buying a car or a home – into exceptional customer experiences. They believe the future of customer engagement will be driven by AI, and that AI is only as powerful as the data it learns from. That’s why they're building an intelligent voice and engagement platform that empowers marketplaces and their dealers to deliver radically more efficient and responsive buying journeys. Their systems capture millions of critical interactions across calls, forms, and messages, and they're seeking a Senior Data Engineer to lead the charge in architecting the scalable, high-velocity data platform that turns this unique data into fuel for their next generation of AI agents and conversational intelligence products.

About the Role

With intelligent agents and automation on the horizon, high-quality, well-structured data is central to our product strategy and customer experience.

You’ll also play a key role in shaping Kaisa's overall data strategy, ensuring their platform not only meets today’s needs but also scales with future demands. From architecting robust pipelines to mentoring team members, this is a high-impact position with significant room for influence.
