- Leverage modern data analysis and processing frameworks, programming languages, and tooling—such as Apache Spark, Pandas, Python, and SQL—to provide powerful compute capabilities to our data platform
- Scale our data backends that leverage a combination of traditional databases, data warehouses, and data lakes to support varying access patterns
- Scale up your impact by leading technical projects, participating in technical and design decisions, mentoring engineers, and participating in recruiting functions
- Act as an exemplar for our culture of excellence, curiosity, collaboration, proactivity, candor, humility, and kindness
Â
Skills and experience

- BS in Computer Science or equivalent experience
- Outstanding programming skills with deep knowledge of databases, distributed systems, data structures, and backend concepts
- Deep customer empathy and ability to orient projects to maximize business impact.
- Demonstrated ability to design, build, deploy, and manage large production compute or data backend platforms at scale
- Experience using modern big data frameworks, scaling computation to hundreds of machines; preference for Spark, Databricks and DBT
- Experience supporting data integrations and strong ability to reason about complex data models and data transformations
- Demonstrated ability to triage and solve open-ended, ambiguous systems-level problems

The above represent attributes our ideal candidate possesses. We encourage all highly-qualified candidates to apply, even if they do not fulfill all the listed criteria.
