Sr. Software Engineer - Data Query

Description

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• You care about the long-term maintainability of the codebase and advocate for refactoring and code cleanliness.
• 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.
• Participate in customer research/discovery with Product to understand current problems, needs, and estimate technical feasibility of various potential solutions.
• 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.
• Design and implement systems responsible for high concurrency access to large data sets

• Ability to think pragmatically and effectively balance business outcomes with technical goals
• Familiarity with public cloud, such as AWS, GCP, Azure
• You can identify and resolve code-smells through sensible refactoring.
• 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.
• Experience building data pipelines at a company with large data sets especially with multi-tenant data in an agile SaaS environment.
• Experience working on platform teams or building platform services, whose customers are other internal teams.
• Familiarity with core architecture principles of at scale systems
• Ability to establish strong working relationships with peers across other platform development teams
