Data Engineer

Aescape is looking for a Data Engineer who can modernize our legacy data systems and architect robust data pipelines from the ground up. You'll build scalable infrastructure to drive AI insights for Aescape's robotic massage systems that enable intelligent recommendation systems. You'll be collaborating cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and Robotics teams as we scale our AI-powered massage robots globally. This is an amazing opportunity for you to own the complete data transformation from the ground up and develop your expertise in robotics data, real-time analytics, and AI-driven systems as we revolutionize the massage therapy and wellness industry. If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you!

This position is based on-site at our New York City office.

Aescape is the NY-based lifestyle robotics company redefining self-care. 

Backed by $128MM in funding from investors like Valor Equity Partners (an early investor in Tesla and SpaceX), we launched the world’s first-to-market AI-powered robotic massage experience with Equinox in August 2024 and quickly went viral: WIRED, Fast Company, Popular Science, Sports Business Journal, Fortune, Vogue and Bloomberg are only some of the leading publications that have covered our technology, with celebs like Will Smith posting about us.

Since then, we’ve announced partnerships with global industry leaders across hospitality, pro sports, corporate wellness, and luxury real estate — with more on the horizon as we supercharge growth. 

What You’ll Do 

• Design and build robust data pipelines that capture, process, and analyze real-time data from our network of AI-powered massage robots across global locations.

• Develop scalable ETL processes that transform massage session data, user preferences, and system performance metrics into actionable business intelligence.

• Build data infrastructure that supports our advanced motion planning algorithms and enables continuous improvement of our autonomous massage experiences.

• Collaborate with roboticists and engineering teams to establish data frameworks that support machine learning initiatives and robotic behavior optimization.

• Create analytics platforms that provide insights into utilization patterns, user satisfaction, and system performance across our enterprise partner network.

• Implement data solutions that enable our rapid scaling while maintaining data quality and supporting real-time operational decision-making.
  

What You’ll Bring

• 3+ years of experience in data engineering, with strong expertise in Python, SQL, and cloud-based data pipeline development (AWS, Snowflake, Databricks, DBT, etc).

• Experience building automated data systems handling large volumes of data from IoT devices, robotics platforms, or real-time operational environments.

• Experience building both streaming and batch data processing pipelines.

• Experience building data systems for AI driven use cases - vector database, RAG tooling, MCP servers to access data, etc.

• A solid background in data warehousing, ETL/ELT processes, and analytics infrastructure for business intelligence. Experience building transformation and data quality monitoring pipelines using tools like DBT or Databricks DLT.

• An understanding of data requirements for machine learning applications and experience supporting algorithm development teams.

• Proven ability to work with cross-functional teams in fast-paced environments where data drives critical business decisions.

What’s In It For You 

• Join a trailblazing tech company anticipated to transform the massage industry

• The chance to make a difference with a product that empowers healthier and happier living

• Team culture driven by passion, ambition, empowerment, inclusion, curiosity, and fun!

• We’ll grow together – your personal and professional growth are equally important

• An environment that empowers individuals, emboldens teams, and rewards achievement

• Early stage equity in a company led by serial entrepreneurs with multiple exits

• Free massages in SF, NY HQ and our Partner locations!

• Medical, vision, and dental insurance covered by us (if scheduled 30+ hours/week) 

• 401k with 4% company match

• Unlimited vacation, generous parental leave 

• Working late? Dinner is on us.

• Competitive pay + bonus + equity plan. The salary range for the role is $145,000-$165,000.
