Hubble Network was founded with the intention of delivering on the promise of what Internet-of-Things (IoT) was supposed to be. We're building a global Bluetooth® network dedicated to machine-to-machine connectivity. We differentiate ourselves as the first modem-less and gateway-less, direct-to-satellite network from off-the-shelf Bluetooth® Low Energy chips. Hubble is ideal for applications in logistics, AgTech, and maritime where economies of scale for volume consumer and enterprise asset tracking is a priority. Our goal is to be the first billion-endpoint-connected network in the world.
Hubble is an early-stage, venture-backed startup supported by some of the best investors in the world. In their previous lives, the founding team has been successful in raising $100s of millions in venture funding, developing the Amazon Sidewalk network, launching billions of dollars of space assets, and leading their teams to successful exits, both through acquisition and IPO. We are now looking to bring on talented team members who are the best at what they do to help us make Hubble a reality for the world.
This role will be based in San Francisco, CA
This is the founding data hire. You will build Hubble's data platform from the warehouse layer up, make decisions on architecture, determine processes for managing schema and data models, and work with many stakeholders.
We know what we want: a layered lakehouse with Landing, Staging, Warehouse, Mart stages. Each layer has an owner, a purpose, and a quality bar. You’ll work with the Infrastructure team to manage the pipes: Fivetran, Redshift, orchestration, monitoring. You own everything downstream of raw: the transformations, the models, the metric definitions, the quality gates, and the performance bar.
The guiding principle is data democratization. Every person at Hubble should be able to answer their own questions. Success is not how many queries you run for other people, it's how few they need you to run.
You'll be a peer to Platform Engineering and to the team building our internal operations platform. You'll be an embedded consultant to Finance, Product, and Customer Success. You’ll think about how to present a strong story from data.
We expect you to use AI agents as part of how you work, and data work rewards this more than most: schema exploration, model scaffolding, test generation, and documentation are all places where agentic tooling earns its keep if you review the output critically.
Data in space: We collect large amounts of telemetry from our satellites which is critical to mission operations - help our Mission Operations group land this telemetry in dashboards and monitoring systems so they can take action on data immediately.
Architecture & Scale
Critical Thinking
You interrogate a metric request before building it, because the question behind it is often different from the question asked. You spot the difference between a data quality problem and a source system problem, and you fix upstream when you can. You make decisions with incomplete information and revise them as you learn.
Partnership
You work as a peer to Platform and Engineering, with clear ownership boundaries and no throwing work over the wall. You sit with Finance and Product long enough to understand what they're actually trying to decide. You disagree constructively and commit fully once a decision is made.
Ownership & Pragmatism
You've shipped a data model you later had to tear out, and you learned something specific from it. You explain lineage and trade-offs to people who don't write SQL. You know when to ship the imperfect table that unblocks a decision this week and when to slow down and get the grain right.
The posted compensation range reflects multiple levels within Hubble Network's Talent architecture.
