The posting

Department: Systems Location: Somerville, MA

Join Formlabs if you want to bring ground-breaking professional 3D printers to the desktop of every designer, engineer, researcher, and artist in the world.

As a Data Engineer at Formlabs, you will build and operate the pipelines that turn raw printer telemetry, manufacturing data, and business system data into trusted, query-ready datasets. Our printers generate telemetry at enormous scale, and the models built on top of it drive decisions across product, manufacturing, service, and go-to-market.

You will work in Python and SQL on Google Cloud — primarily Cloud Run and BigQuery — and across both of our data engineering stacks: Real Time Integrations (RTI), which moves event data as it happens, and our BigQuery batch and transformation layer. This is a hands-on building role for an engineer who is comfortable owning a pipeline end to end, from ingestion through modeling to the dashboards and services that consume it.

This role is based in our Somerville, Massachusetts, USA office and is a full-time position.

The Job:

  • Build pipelines that scale: Design, develop, and maintain ingestion and transformation pipelines in Python and SQL that handle telemetry at very large scale — datasets measured in the trillions of rows — without sacrificing reliability or cost efficiency.
  • Work across both stacks: Contribute to our Real Time Integrations (RTI) event-driven stack and our BigQuery batch and modeling stack, choosing the right tool for each problem rather than forcing everything through one pattern.
  • Own it in production: Deploy and operate services on Cloud Run, instrument them with meaningful monitoring and alerting, and respond when something breaks.
  • Model data people trust: Build well-documented, well-tested data models in BigQuery that analysts and stakeholders can use confidently, with clear lineage and sensible definitions.
  • Engineer for cost and performance: Apply partitioning, clustering, incremental processing, and query optimization so that scale stays affordable and dashboards stay fast.
  • Partner broadly: Work with analysts, software engineers, and business stakeholders to turn ambiguous questions into durable datasets and pipelines, rather than one-off extracts.
  • Raise the bar: Apply modern software practices — version control, code review, automated testing, CI/CD, and infrastructure-as-code — to data work, and help improve how the team builds.

You:

  • Python-first data engineering: 3+ years of professional experience building production data pipelines, with strong, hands-on Python — this is the core of the role, not a nice-to-have.
  • A strong SQL foundation: Able to write, debug, and optimize complex SQL from scratch, and comfortable reasoning about query plans, joins, window functions, and aggregation at scale.
  • Cloud data warehousing: Experience with BigQuery or a comparable columnar warehouse (Snowflake, Redshift, Databricks), including the design decisions that keep large tables performant and affordable.
  • GCP experience: Working knowledge of Google Cloud, ideally including Cloud Run, Pub/Sub, Cloud Storage, and IAM — or a demonstrated ability to pick up a new cloud quickly.
  • Comfort at scale: Experience with high-volume telemetry, event, IoT, or log data, where the size of the dataset materially changes how you design the pipeline.
  • Modern tooling: Fluency with Git/GitHub, CI/CD pipelines, and containerized development and deployment.
  • Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills, including the ability to explain data caveats to non-technical partners.
  • Ability to work in a collaborative, fast-paced environment, and the ability to learn and implement new technologies quickly.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, a quantitative field, or equivalent practical experience.

Bonus Points:

  • Experience with streaming and event-driven architectures (Pub/Sub, Kafka, Dataflow, or similar).
  • Experience with dbt or a comparable transformation and testing framework.
  • Experience instrumenting or consuming device, IoT, or hardware telemetry.
  • Familiarity with orchestration tools (Airflow, Dagster, Cloud Composer, or similar).
  • Experience with data quality, observability, or lineage tooling.
  • Exposure to business systems data — ERP, CRM, or eCommerce (NetSuite, Salesforce, Shopify, or similar).
  • Experience with Kubernetes or container orchestration.
  • Ability to effectively leverage AI coding tools — particularly hands-on experience with Claude Code, including building reusable Skills, subagents, or plugins that encode team workflows and make them repeatable.

Our Perks & Benefits:

  • Robust equity program to build future wealth through RSUs
  • Comprehensive healthcare coverage (Medical, Dental, Vision)
  • Low cost fund options in our 401K and access to advisors
  • Generous paid Parental Leave (up to 16 weeks)
  • Tenure-based paid Sabbatical Leave (up to 6 weeks)
  • Flexible Out of Office Plan – Take time when you need it
  • Ample free on-site parking & pre-tax commuter benefits
  • Healthy on-site lunches, snacks, beverages, & treats
  • Regular sponsored professional development opportunities
  • Many opt-in culture events across our diverse community
  • And of course… unlimited 3D prints

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
