Coast is re-imagining the trillion-dollar U.S. B2B card payments infrastructure, with a focus on the country’s 500,000 commercial fleets, 40 million commercial vehicles, and many million commercial drivers. The incumbent technologies that cater to these customers are decades old, and drivers, fleets, and the merchants that serve them all increasingly demand modern digital experiences and affordable and transparent financial services products. Coast's mission is to deliver them at a transformational scale, and to improve working lives in one of the country’s biggest industry sectors. The company is backed by top fintech and mobility venture funds.
Coast is competing and winning with software, and we are building a world-class engineering team. This is a unique opportunity to get in on the ground level early on, contribute and learn in myriad ways, make key decisions, expand your impact as the business grows, have fun, and learn a ton in the process. If you're practical and business-minded, smart and creative, and excited about the rewards and the energy of an early-stage venture-backed startup, we'd love to hear from you.
We are looking for a founding member of the Coast data engineering team to shape our company’s data culture and underlying infrastructure.
We have followed the path of least resistance so far, creating a data warehouse and pulling in both operational and vendor data, adding BI and other SaaS tools on top of it.
Now as we are growing, we recognize the need for a dedicated leader for all things data at Coast — someone that can work with our business users, establish company-wide self-serve data infrastructure, and enable product engineering teams to build data products well. We are looking for someone that can champion data-aware culture within the company, as well as roll up their sleeves and build out the technical pieces behind it. Looking ahead, we need to position ourselves well for feature engineering work that will power our AI/ML use cases. This means metadata, automation, observability, and quality.
We need you to help us establish a vision for the data ecosystem evolution while satisfying day to day demands of a rapidly growing early stage startup.
You will report directly to the Head of Engineering and work from our NYC office.

We expect the majority of the candidates who are offered roles at Coast to fall healthily within the range based on these factors.
