The role involves unifying Chewy's data systems, managing migrations, and implementing data governance while enabling self-service and AI experimentation for product teams.
Our Opportunity:
At Chewy, it is our mission to be the most trusted and convenient destination for pet parents and partners - vets and service providers - everywhere. Our success is measured by the happiness of the people and pets we serve, not simply by the amount of pet supplies we deliver. That's why we continue to think of outside-the-Chewy-box ways to delight, surprise, and thank our loyal pet lovers!
The story we're writing
Chewy's next decade of AI innovation begins with a single, trusted source of truth. Today our data lives in several warehouses; tomorrow it must live-and breathe-in one: Snowflake. Your directive is to finish that voyage lay the rails for real-time and generative AI, and make "data you can bet the company on" an everyday reality for engineers, analysts, and AI agents.
What you will do:Think of it as building Manhattan's bedrock before the skyscrapers go up. You will inherit a current Snowflake estate that is functional but still split with legacy platforms. Your first charter is to unify it-schema, pipelines, SLAs, access patterns-so every system that feeds a model, powers a decision, or personalizes a pet's experience pulls from the same well. From there you will design the governance, observability and enablement tooling that let hundreds of product squads move fast without breaking provenance or trust.
Along the way you will:
Who will love-and thrive in-this seat
You have already tamed petabytes at consumer-speed scale, led a company through a warehouse migration or two, and emerged with scars and a playbook. You think of Snowflake, dbt, Airflow and the modern metadata stack as table stakes, not buzzwords. You can swap war stories with principal engineers in the morning, then explain the return on investment of lineage to the audit committee after lunch. Most of all, you believe great data plumbing is the highest leverage investment a company can make when AI is the destination.
Why now, why Chewy
Our AI & Data Innovation org has the charter to reinvent how 25 million pet parents care for their companions. Robotics teams are automating fulfilment, experience teams are personalizing every digital touch, and cognitive agents are emerging to anticipate what a pet needs before the owner thinks to ask. None of that works without the foundation you will pour.
If the idea of turning a good data estate into the launchpad for industry-defining AI sets your pulse racing, we should talk.
The specific salary offered to a candidate may be influenced by a variety of factors including but not limited to the candidate's relevant experience, education, and work location. In addition, this position is eligible for 401k, an annual bonus potential, new hire and annual equity grant.

We offer parental leave, family services benefits, backup dependent care, flexible spending accounts, telemedicine, pet adoption reimbursement, employee assistance program, and many discounts including 10% off pet insurance and 20% off at Chewy.com.

Along the way you will:
- Shepherd the remaining migrations, retiring Vertica once and for all
- Embed dbt-driven transformation, lineage and testing as part of the developer experience
- Stand-up data-quality and cost-visibility metrics and dashboards
- Translate platform metrics into narratives the CEO and frontline FC associates both understand
- Champion a culture where self-service is assumed, tribal data silos are history, and AI experimentation is friction-free

But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
