Sr. Site Reliability Engineer, Data - FreeWheel

About the Team This team builds an AI-native predictive analytics platform that embeds ML and AI-driven insights directly into production Go-To-Market workflows — powering real-time decisions at scale. The team owns the full stack from distributed data pipelines and backend services to ML and AI-powered capabilities that ship directly to customers. We are building toward a model where AI components are first-class runtime dependencies, not bolt-on features. Agentic AI development is a core part of how we increase engineering velocity and deliver customer value. This is a team that ships daily, iterates constantly, and treats speed as a capability to be deliberately improved. The Role This is a high-ownership, builder-first Sr. Software Engineer role. You will design, build, and ship AI-integrated data systems from concept through production — owning outcomes end-to-end, including deployment, monitoring, cost, and business impact. We are seeking a candidate who views AI tooling as a fundamental force multiplier in their daily engineering process. This position is central to our transition into an AI-native function, requiring an individual capable of making decisive, pragmatic architectural choices on reversible matters to maintain momentum. We need an experienced builder of production-grade, data-centric systems who is obsessed with delivering customer value and possesses a deep, curious enthusiasm for the transformative potential of AI. What You Will Build AI-Native Systems Development. Design, build, and own scalable data and ML pipelines, backend services, and AI-powered capabilities that are part of the platform's production decision-making layer. AI and ML components are runtime dependencies in this role — not research projects or experiments. Candidates will have strong back end and data engineering skills to thrive in this space. Daily Shipping. Decompose complex work into safely mergeable increments and ship them daily. Treat large, multi-day pull requ
