Deere & Company keeps a small, opinionated engineering team in Santa Fe, and the next opinion we need belongs to a Data Engineer. Here $75,000 - $106,000 buys not just your time but a stake in the technology work, the kind Deere & Company trusts mid-level people to steer.
Key Responsibilities
- Own a technology service end to end, from ETL Pipelines schema to on-call rotation
- Catch the endlessly-iterating Vertex AI regression in staging before it ever reaches Santa Fe customers
- Decide when to buy Persuasion versus build it for Deere & Company's Santa Fe, NM stack
- Pair-program tricky Hugging Face edge cases with engineers across Santa Fe, NM
- Own the mid-level dbt workstream that unblocks the rest of Deere & Company's Santa Fe, NM roadmap
- Tune dbt caching so Deere & Company survives the Santa Fe launch spike on the same hardware
- Decode the undocumented dbt service nobody at Deere & Company remembers writing
- Turn vague technology tickets into crisp, testable Vertex AI acceptance criteria
What You'll Bring
- Comfort with contract arrangements and the rhythms of a high-growth workplace
- Sound instincts for reading a room you've never been in before
- Enough Persuasion to be dangerous, enough Jupyter to be trusted
- The kind of curiosity that reads the docs before asking
- The judgment to distinguish a fire drill from an actual fire
- The self-awareness to know which problems are yours to solve
- A NM work history, or strong reasons you'll thrive here anyway
For technology teams who've been burned before, Deere & Company is the feedback-hungry Santa Fe, NM partner that finally keeps its promises. Around here, "I don't know yet" is a perfectly respectable sentence and often the start of something good.
Step in at $75,000 - $106,000, climb with structured growth, lean on a mentor, and take the flexibility Deere & Company is genuinely proud of.
