Sr. Software Engineer - Data Query

Description

• Build a deep understanding of our data structure and systems - enabling you and your team to build on top of and modify the existing architecture.
• Identify gaps, deficiencies and inefficiencies in the system. Propose and implement solutions.
• Together with your team, you ensure the data flowing through our data pipelines is tested with appropriate unit and integration tests to ensure the correct data makes it to our customers.
• Research and determine key architecture and design decisions to build a scalable, robust, yet simple data access layer - this will involve some combination of leveraging our existing technology, refactoring existing systems, including off the shelf systems, or starting from scratch when it makes sense.
• You care about the long-term maintainability of the codebase and advocate for refactoring and code cleanliness.
• Hold a high bar of engineering excellence and always look for ways to raise it. Adopt our engineering best practices, provide and receive in-depth code reviews, and participate in healthy debate as a team. Evangelize your own expertise and experience among your teammates and the rest of the organization.
• Design and implement systems responsible for high concurrency access to large data sets
• Work in a truly agile fashion to turn a massive, unruly problem into thinly sliced deliverables and execute quickly against them while limiting work in progress.
• Participate in customer research/discovery with Product to understand current problems, needs, and estimate technical feasibility of various potential solutions.

Requirements

• Experience building data pipelines at a company with large data sets especially with multi-tenant data in an agile SaaS environment.
• Proven experience working across all levels of the development stack.
• Ability to think pragmatically and effectively balance business outcomes with technical goals
• 5+ years of experience working in software engineering teams
• Familiarity with core architecture principles of at scale systems
• You can identify and resolve code-smells through sensible refactoring.
• Familiarity with public cloud, such as AWS, GCP, Azure
• Strong familiarity with Agile software development processes: Scrum or Kanban
• Together with your team, your deliverables are always well-instrumented. Queries and dashboards are easily accessible and regularly used to drive decisions as well as measure progress.
• Strong SQL proficiency with ability to suggest optimization for query performance and cost efficiency
• Strong familiarity with REST APIs and web-based APIs
• Creativity and proactivity - an ability to solve complex problems without a roadmap
• Comfortable working with remote team members
• Experience working on platform teams or building platform services, whose customers are other internal teams.
• Proven experience with object oriented languages (python, ruby, JS, Java, C#, etc.)
• Ability to establish strong working relationships with peers across other platform development teams

Benefits

• Enthusiastically participate in a high performing, empowered team with high levels of mutual trust and respect. Along with the team, you will take ownership of your problem space - reflecting and growing from our failures and celebrating our successes.
