Concretely, the work would involve building ELT pipelines from survey platforms and external sources into a cloud warehouse, maintaining a dimensional model, collaborating with analysts, and overseeing orchestration & monitoring.

You have solid Python + ETL/ELT, strong SQL and dimensional modeling, cloud warehouse experience. Nice to have: dbt/Airflow/Dagster, prior SWE work, interest in forecasting. Apply even if you don't tick every box!

Conditions:

- 100% Remote (worldwide) / Remote (global)

- 30 days PTO, health insurance contribution

- $75k–$130k, depending on experience

- 3 team retreats/year

FYI, ForecastBench [1] tests LLMs' out-of-sample forecasting accuracy.

The ForecastBench Tournament Leaderboard [2] allows external participants to submit models, most of whom provide some sort of web search / news scaffolding to improve model forecasting accuracy.

A pdf explaining their hiring practice. I imagine the user liked the remunerated, take-home tests, done on your own time. https://duckduckgo.com/assets/hiring/how_we_hire.pdf
