Who we are
We're building a prayer and meditation app. One that is authentically Christian and Catholic, while at the same time a resource for anyone looking to grow deeper in a relationship with God. We believe that people are hungry for peace, and that there is no surer way to find it than by learning to sit in silence with Christ: “Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest” (Mt 11:28).
Our goal is to build something truly great. Something that combines the beauty of the Church’s spirituality with world-class product and content execution.
We launched the app in December of 2018 and have been blown away with the incredible growth & traction. Hallow has been downloaded over 10 million times with over 200,000 5-star reviews. We're blessed to be backed by some of the best mission-driven investors in the world and are excited to build out the team to help a lot more folks grow closer to God.
We are a startup. We move quickly and take big swings. We are a small and fast moving team and each person is responsible for making an impact. It is hard work, but also deeply meaningful. We’d be honored & humbled if you’d consider joining us.
Tldr: We are seeking an experienced Data Engineer to join our team and lead the effort of scaling the data platform & infrastructure and ensuring we are collecting reliable data at the right time in the right way.

What You'll Do

  • Build scalable data infrastructure: Build data models, ETL processes, and data integrations to ensure a scalable and robust data infrastructure. Build new and support existing data pipelines.
  • Ensure data quality: Collaborate with data analysts and software engineers to ensure data quality, accuracy, and consistency
  • Improve data performance: Monitor and troubleshoot the performance of the data infrastructure and make recommendations for improvements

What You'll Love

  • Mission: This work is incredibly humbling. Every day we hear amazing stories and we get the pleasure of working on something that’s impacting lives. One of our favorite user quotes: “I hate quoting an old, overused cliche, but I’ve been very lost. And I think for the first time in a while I may be found.”
  • Growth: You’ll get to journey with a VC-backed Silicon Valley startup from the beginning. When the company is this small, every employee is a core team member who is expected to help build the company as a whole as we settle into a culture and continue to expand the team.
  • Flexibility: HQ will be in Chicago with the full team and would love to have everyone there. That being said, we’re super flexible with location / hours; don’t care when or where you work, just that it gets done.
  • Comp: We pay competitive market rates both in terms of equity, cash, & benefits.

What We're Looking For

  • Passion: We’re looking for someone excited and passionate about our mission, and passionate about data engineering.
  • Experience: A foundation of 3+ years of experience in data engineering; strong knowledge of SQL and OOP in Python or other programming language; experience with Snowflake or Redshift, Airflow, and DBT strongly preferred
  • Grit & Detail-Oriented: A start-up is tough and we really care about what we’re doing. You'll be jumping into a brand new role on a brand-new team - perseverance and attention to detail are important.
We are honored that you'd consider joining the team and look forward to connecting with you.
Best,
