Moro is an early-stage digital platform featuring the best in residential architecture, interior design, and home furnishings, and the brands and designers behind each. We're in search of a talented, highly skilled and dedicated Senior data Engineer to build systems and infrastructure and write data pipelines for collecting, storing, and analyzing huge sets of data in batch and streaming contexts.

We value curiosity, enthusiasm, responsibility and generosity of spirit.
We're looking for a flexible engineer who cares about the data that flows through pipelines and the internal customers who will use that data.

We believe in measuring everything, taking advantage of our continuous deployment system to ship code early and often, and keeping up a blameless culture based on trust and a commitment to learning.
This is a full-time fully remote role.
