Prior to applying please note:
We're hiring a Staff Data Engineer to build the data foundation for a new discovery-stage team focused on Taskrabbit client retention and personalization. The team's mandate is to turn our biggest unaddressed retention bet — predicting what home service a client will need and when, then reaching them proactively — from concept into validated, in-market tests. You'll be one of four new hires on a small, cross-functional pod (Product, Design, Marketing, BizOps, Machine Learning, and Engineering) reporting through Product and matrixed with Data Engineering leadership.
This is a hands-on, individual-contributor role one level below our Staff Data Engineer track: you'll own the design and build of specific data pipelines and models rather than set architectural direction for the broader platform, working closely with the team's Solutions Architect and Machine Learning Engineer as you go. It's a strong fit for someone who wants outsized ownership on a small team, is energized by ambiguity and fast iteration, and wants to help prove out (or kill) a major product bet with real evidence rather than another deck.
The ideal candidate has solid experience with modern data tools — dbt, Airflow, Snowflake (or equivalent) — and is genuinely excited to work with AI coding tools day to day. We want someone who already leverages AI (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code) to write, test, and review code faster, and who can use that speed to move a discovery team from idea to shipped test quickly, not someone who treats AI assistance as optional or occasional.
At Taskrabbit, our approach to compensation is designed to be competitive, transparent, and equitable. Total compensation consists of base pay + bonus + benefits + perks. The base pay range for this position is $150,000 - $200,000. This range is representative of base pay only, and does not include any other total cash compensation amounts, such as company bonus or benefits. Final offer amounts may vary from the amounts listed above and will be determined by factors including, but not limited to, relevant experience, qualifications, geography, and level.
An Active Commitment to Equity within our Company and Platform. We are an inclusive community where all who share our mission and values belong. Our diverse team represents the communities we serve, breaking down systemic barriers, and transforming lives- one action at a time.
Taskrabbit is an equal opportunity employer and values diversity at our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, ancestry, citizenship, sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, marital status, military/veteran status, or disability status. Taskrabbit is committed to working with and providing reasonable accommodation to applicants with physical and mental disabilities. Taskrabbit will consider for employment all qualified applicants with criminal histories in a manner consistent with applicable law.
