Senior Data Engineer

You'll join a central analytics team that supports product units across the company with their data needs. Rather than serving a single product, we build data systems that work across product teams — machine learning models, AI systems, and visualizations built on top of a wide range of product data sources. A big part of our mission is enabling self-service analytics, and that only works on a strong, reliable data foundation. That foundation is what our data engineers build. We already have data engineers on the team, and we're growing to keep pace with the demand for well-modeled, well-governed data across the organization.

What you'll do

• Build the infrastructure and tooling required for optimal extraction, transformation and loading of data from a wide variety of data sources using cloud native big data services from AWS/Azure
• Build and maintain the data pipelines that feed our AI systems, including retrieval and knowledge pipelines used by AI agents and RAG applications
• Help design and maintain our data and knowledge architecture, including data and knowledge cataloging that makes sources discoverable and usable across AI pipelines
• Maintain and operate our Azure infrastructure — provisioning and setting up the right resources, keeping environments healthy, and driving cost optimization and right-sizing (a solid DevOps foundation matters here)
• Deploy analytics tools that utilize the data pipeline to provide actionable insights into customer usage, operational efficiency and other analytical and business performance metrics
• Work with stakeholders including business analysts and data scientists to assist with data-related technical issues, support their data (infrastructure) needs, and prepare data for modeling and analytics
• Support effective, data-driven decision making across stakeholders

What you'll need

• Proven experience building and optimizing big data pipelines and architectures on large datasets (tens to hundreds of TB scale), including for AI/ML applications
• Working knowledge of stream & batch processing into highly scalable data/metrics stores
• Advanced SQL and hands-on experience with relational & non-relational databases like Postgres, Redshift, Cassandra, Data Explorer, etc.
• Strong programming skills — Python is a must, Spark a plus
• DevOps skills for cloud infrastructure — provisioning resources, infrastructure-as-code, monitoring, and cost optimization (Azure preferred)
• Experience with data and knowledge cataloging or data governance tooling is good to have
• Experience building big data consumption patterns such as data APIs and visualization platforms is good to have
• Degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Data Engineering, or related; a Master's is a plus

What we offer

A competitive compensation package, of course.

Time and resources to grow and develop, including a personal development budget and paid leave for learning days, as well as paid access to e-learning resources such as O’Reilly and LinkedIn Learning.
