We're looking for an experienced Data Engineer to join our team! You will have opportunities to work with customers to solve technology challenges. We are quickly growing and you will deliver new solutions and services while always improving our approach to architecture, scale, availability and fault-tolerance.

We work in autonomous product teams, and you'll work with Product Managers, Designers, QA, and other engineers on a daily basis. You will partner with others across the company in shared codebases, and contribute directly to other services when needed. We iterate quickly to see what works and what doesn't and follow the data to bring our strategy. We encourage you to take chances and fail because that is how we grow. We are a distributed team and have been since day 1. We build solutions for distributed workforces so we model our workforce the same way. In this role you really can work where you want within the United States.

  • Troubleshoot and improve the infrastructure required for extraction, transformation, and loading of data from a variety of data sources using SQL and AWS 'big data' technologies.
  • Create data tools for analytics and data scientist team members that assist them in building our product.

Qualifications

  • 3+ years of experience with large-scale data and query optimization techniques.
  • Problem solver with solid communication skills
  • Experience with ETL to data warehouse systems.
  • Experience with AWS cloud services: Redshift, GCP BigQuery, EC2, RDS, Aurora Postgres.
  • Proficient in SQL and solid knowledge of data structures and algorithms.
  • Understanding NoSQL and RDBMS.
  • Expertise in multiple scripting languages; Python and Ruby.
  • Knowledge of cloud, distributed systems, and stream-processing systems.
  • Empathy for your customers and colleagues.
  • Eagerness to share your own ideas, and openness to those of others.

If you want to engage brilliant minds in a high-growth and inclusive environment where ideas are rewarded regardless of who they come from, join us.
