Systems Engineer, Data Platform & Integrations
About Pavilion Pavilion began as a bold experiment to solve a personal problem. In the early 2010s, founder Sam Jacobs realized that the higher he climbed in go-to-market leadership, the lonelier the journey became. Those peer conversations – equal parts therapy, strategy, and camaraderie – sparked a global community of GTM professionals united by shared learning and support. Today, Pavilion serves nearly 10,000 members worldwide with industry-leading retention and profitability. At over $10M ARR, the brand is synonymous with excellence in GTM leadership. The Opportunity We’re looking for a Systems Engineer to own the connective tissue across our core business systems, data warehouse, and customer access logic. You will be responsible for how data moves between systems controlling critical processes like sales, payments, product operations, and reporting. You will build and maintain the integrations, pipelines, models, and entitlement logic that ensure our teams can trust customer, subscription, payment, engagement, and revenue data. This is a hybrid engineering role: part data platform, part backend systems, part business systems architecture. The right person can write strong Python and SQL, work comfortably with APIs and webhooks, understand how SaaS systems fit together, and make practical and sustainable architecture decisions independently.

Communicate tradeoffs clearly and balance speed with long-term maintainability. What Success Looks Like Our system architecture is fit-for-purpose, streamlined, observable, and reliable. The data warehouse becomes a trusted foundation for reporting, operations, and decision-making. Customer, payment, entitlement, engagement, and revenue data are interconnected and reconcilable. New systems, migrations, and integrations are implemented cleanly.

Experience building and maintaining integrations with third-party SaaS tools (e.g., Slack, Hivebrite, Circle, Notion, etc.) Strong understanding of APIs, webhooks, event-driven workflows, and data synchronization. Experience with payment, subscription, and CRMs is required; Stripe experience or ability to demonstrate deep understanding of Stripe documentation is necessary.
