• Develop production-grade pipelines, applying software engineering best practices.
• Operate big data infrastructure and cloud data warehouses with a focus on reliability and performance.
• Partner with data scientists and security researchers to deliver impactful data solutions.
• Ensure data quality, observability, and governance across the platform.

Ideal candidates will have:

• 4+ years of experience in data engineering, data architecture, and distributed systems
• Proficiency in programming languages such as Python (that we use), Java, Scala, or similar.
• Experience with cloud-based technologies such as AWS (our primary), GCP or Azure.
• Experience with deploying big data technologies such as Apache Spark, Hadoop, Hive, IceBerg, Trino.
