Job Description

What would you be doing?

  • Watch Reels and YouTube videos every day & level up on your fashion sense!
  • Write production code daily: This is a hands-on engineering role where you will actively build, not just manage or delegate.
  • Own the end-to-end data lifecycle: Architect, build, and optimize our data pipelines from event collection to storage and serving, ensuring high reliability and performance.
  • Build toward a self-serve vision: Lay the foundational groundwork for a platform where analytics and product teams can independently derive insights with minimal engineering dependency.
  • Integrate AI-native approaches: Evaluate and implement the latest AI trends (like LLM-assisted quality checks, automated monitoring, or natural language access) where they deliver practical improvements.
  • Establish robust observability: Build systems that proactively surface pipeline failures, data staleness, and anomalies before they impact stakeholders.
  • Collaborate seamlessly: Work closely with the analytics and product teams to translate complex data requirements into well-scoped engineering execution.
  • Navigate our current stack: Spark, Databricks, Deltalake (Medallion architecture), BigQuery, Athena, EMR, SageMaker, Airbyte, and Power BI.

  • Mentorship and Influence: Proven ability to naturally guide peers on engineering best practices, code quality, and scalable system design without needing formal managerial authority.
  • Startup DNA: You possess high agency, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and know when to pragmatically trade perfect code for faster delivery while maintaining system reliability.
