- If you're passionate about data engineering, thrive in a collaborative environment, and are excited by the prospect of working on impactful projects, we encourage you to apply
- Proven experience (2+ years) building and maintaining data pipelines using Apache Airflow. We're particularly interested in seeing examples of complex pipeline orchestration
- Strong understanding of data warehousing principles and experience working with BigQuery
- Experience with cloud-based data processing frameworks like Apache Beam (ideally with Google Cloud Dataflow)

- Experience with CI/CD pipelines is a plus
What the job involves
- We're looking for a skilled and enthusiastic Data Engineer to join our growing team
- We're a close-knit group building and maintaining mission-critical data pipelines, and we need someone who can hit the ground running
- You'll be responsible for designing, building, and maintaining both streaming and batch data pipelines, leveraging various technologies we already use, including Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services like Dataflow, BigQuery, and Vertex AI
- Design, build, and maintain: Develop and deploy highly scalable and reliable data pipelines using Apache Airflow, Dataflow, and other GCP services
- This includes everything from initial design and development through testing, deployment, and ongoing maintenance
- Data Modeling & Optimization: Collaborate with data analysts and stakeholders to define data requirements, and design efficient and effective data models within BigQuery. You’ll be optimizing queries and pipeline performance for maximum efficiency
- We're interested in seeing examples of your work, so please be prepared to discuss past projects and challenges you've overcome
- Monitoring & Troubleshooting: Implement robust monitoring and alerting for data pipelines. Proactively identify and resolve issues, ensuring data quality and pipeline uptime
- Collaboration & Communication: Work closely with other engineers, data scientists, and product teams to understand business requirements and translate them into technical solutions. Clearly communicate technical details and project progress
