About Prepared

911 is the backbone of American public safety…but, for too long, the professionals that dedicate their lives to answering our calls have been let down by the technology that serves them. Our mission is to change that. 

We aim to ensure that every emergency receives a perfect response; a bold vision requires bold action from our team, working hand-in-hand with the professionals we serve. 

Since the public launch of our first public safety product in the fall of 2021, our technology has helped streamline millions of 911 calls in communities around the country. We’ve revolutionized what’s possible in emergency response by applying cutting-edge AI to the most critical challenges facing first responders. Our partners span 49 states and collectively protect more than 90 million people.

Backed by more than $130 million in funding led from investors like General Catalyst, Andreessen Horowitz, and First Round Capital, we're scaling rapidly to become a core component of emergency calls nationwide, driving the future of emergency response toward a safer, more agile system.

At Prepared, you’re not simply part of a team — you’re a key force in a mission that truly matters. Your contributions here will shape the future of emergency services, playing a vital role in creating a safer, more connected world.

  • Design, implement, and maintain scalable data pipelines and infrastructure

  • Collaborate with software engineers, product managers, customer success managers, and others across the business to understand data requirements

  • Optimize and manage our data storage solutions

  • Ensure data quality, reliability, and security across the data lifecycle

  • Develop and maintain ETL processes and frameworks

  • Work with stakeholders to define data availability SLAs

  • Create and manage data models to support business intelligence and analytics

What you’ll need:

  • 5+ years of experience in data engineering, software engineering with a data focus, data science, or a related role

  • Knowledge of designing data pipelines from a variety of source (e.g. streaming, flat files, APIs)

  • Proficiency in SQL and experience with relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL)

  • Experience with real-time data processing frameworks (e.g., Apache Kafka, Spark Streaming, Flink, Pulsar, Redpanda)

  • Strong programming skills in common data-focused languages (e.g., Python, Scala)

  • Experience with data pipeline and workflow management tools (e.g., Apache Airflow, Prefect, Temporal)

  • Familiarity with AWS-based data solutions

  • Strong understanding of data warehousing concepts and technologies (Snowflake)

  • Experience documenting data dependency maps and data lineage

  • Strong communication and collaboration skills

  • Ability to work independently and take initiative

  • Proficiency in containerization and orchestration tools (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes)

Bonus points for:

  • Experience in an early-stage startup

  • Familiarity with cloud-agnostic data solutions
