We’re on a scale-up journey, and we’re seeking people who thrive in this stage. We want Float to be the place where you have the autonomy and opportunity to do the best work of your career.
Our customer base continues to grow (!), and with that growth comes the need for stronger data infrastructure to support our platform and strategic goals. This is a new role, and it sits at the intersection of engineering and data. This role will bring expertise to help us improve data quality, scale critical CDC pipelines, and unlock efficiencies across our systems. You’ll partner closely with folks from our Engineering, Analytics, and Intelligence teams to ensure we’re not just collecting the right data, but using it to power smarter decisions and better outcomes.
We’ve already built strong foundations across product and analytics, but platform-focused data engineering is the missing link. This hire will enable new workstreams tied directly to our 2026 Strategy—like preparing for AI/RRE and building the next evolution of our reporting platform. If you’re excited to work across teams, improve data quality at scale, and build infrastructure that helps us (and our customers) grow confidently, we’d love to meet you!
In this role, you’d be reporting to Roberto, our Senior Staff Engineer (Architecture). In this video, Roberto explains the important role you will play within our Data team.Check it out!
You’ll be working asynchronously with a bright, dedicated team from across the globe, with a strong focus on taking complex problems and creating solutions that feel simple and intuitive for our customers.

We want you to love your work and believe that these skills will allow you to succeed in the role. Applying these skills requires:
As a fully remote team, we’re looking for someone comfortable with asynchronous communication as the default, which means you have previous remote experience and are comfortable using tools like Slack, Loom, and Linear to communicate as needed. Don’t worry—you will have significant deep work time since we have very few meetings.
Pay for this role is US $169,442 (Level 3). Here’s a blog post with more information on how we determine our salaries.
We’re a global async remote company with a diverse team of people from all over the world who share a common belief in living our best work life. We believe deeply in the idea of transparency and share our Float Handbook publicly so potential new team members can see first hand our perks & benefits as well as our ways of working. If you feel like you can thrive at Float to do your best work, we would love to hear from you.
You’ll find a lot of useful information about our interview process and what it’s like to join our global team on the Float careers page. The hiring process for this role looks like this:
Application (3 questions): We’ll ask you three short questions to understand why this role sparked your interest and learn more about your relevant experience. These questions carry a lot of weight in our process, so take your time to answer them thoughtfully. A few days to reflect and write a strong response beats a rushed, cookie-cutter one every time.
Initial Meet (20 min): You'll meet with Julia, our Talent Manager ( hi, that’s me!), to chat about your interest in the role and talk through any questions you have about working at Float.
Manager interview (1 hour): You’ll meet with Roberto, (Senior Staff Engineer), and Sameet (Senior Application Engineer) to discuss how would you contribute to Float and learn more about your professional experience.
Take-home assignment (2 hours, paid): You’ll be sent a take-home assignment to complete on your own time (but we estimate it taking up to 2 hours). You’ll be paid an honorarium for your time.
Co-Worker Interview (45 min): You’ll meet with Omar, (Services Team Lead), and Davi (Senior Data Engineer) to dive deeper into your skills and experience.
Founder Interview (30 min): You’ll meet with Lars, our CTO, to get to know you and see if you have potential to be a great addition to the team.
Using AI? A Quick Note.
We know that tools like ChatGPT are part of how many of us work today (us too!). Feel free to use AI to support your writing, but don’t let it do the talking for you. We read every application carefully, and it’s easy to spot when something's been fully copy-pasted. Help us get to know the real you!
Note: Industry research shows that women and those in traditionally underrepresented groups generally don’t apply to jobs unless they check all the boxes for the role. If you feel strongly that you have what it takes for this role but don’t check 100% of the boxes—that’s okay—we encourage you to apply anyway and highlight what you can bring to the table.
