Role
Who you are
- Bachelor’s degree in computer science, information technology or a related field, or a combination of education and experience
- 12 years or more experience in designing datastores, data architectures, and data flows
- Mastery of both data modeling and query/aggregation design for MongoDB coupled with significant experience with RDBMS technologies (PostgreSQL strongly preferred)
- Significant experience designing and implementing datastores for microservices and event-driven applications
- Significant experience with implementing and supporting data governance within medium-to-large organizations
- Strong ability to utilize written and verbal communication skills to influence through collaboration across functional roles and levels across the organization
What the job involves
- The Data Engineering team collaborates across the TCGplayer Technology organization to increase the effectiveness of the organization’s use of datastore technologies
- As a member of this team, you will be the authority in TCGPlayer's quest to continually improve the reliability, scalability, and efficiency of the datastores which power the company’s applications
- You will partner with multiple teams to define appropriate datastore infrastructure for applications, create efficient and scalable database and data flow designs, resolve scaling or performance challenges as they arise in existing systems, and generally support effective datastore usage in aspects such as data architecture, data governance, data lifecycle management, software currency, and security
- As a Principal Data Engineer, you will use your expertise with MongoDB to lead larger projects, mentor and guide junior and mid-level members of the Technology organization
- In this specific role, you will advocate for optimal data modeling and querying practices for applications built using MongoDB as their datastore
- Act as a subject matter expert for MongoDB, offering direct guidance and creating materials to help other technologists improve their proficiency with designing and implementing applications using MongoDB
- Provide leadership on cross-application datastore-related projects, including those related to security, software currency, data governance, and platform migrations and research emerging capabilities in both the datastores used by the organization and the broader marketplace to inform long-term strategic planning in the data domain
- Consult on database design for the structures within an application’s datastores and queries/aggregations against those structures, optimizing for performance and scalability
- Write minimal yet effective code, primarily database queries to facilitate data management and manipulation and proof-of-concepts for suggested techniques
- Collaborate with other teams in the development of data flow strategies and assist in defining data storage requirements for microservices, ensuring they are scalable, reliable, efficient, and in alignment with overall system architecture
- Guide selection of appropriate datastore technologies for new and replatformed applications, primarily transactional microservices and event-driven systems, ensuring they meet current and future data needs
Our take
Founded in 1995 as an online auction platform primarily catering to collectibles, eBay quickly emerged as a pioneer in connecting buyers and sellers in the digital realm. This early success propelled eBay to become to globally recognized leader it is today.
In the present landscape, eBay competes with industry giants like Amazon within the C2C eCommerce sector. However, eBay distinguishes itself by fostering an environment where businesses can cultivate and promote their brands on the platform, offering a tailored, community-driven experience for both sellers and buyers. By championing small businesses, eBay attracts sellers and socially conscious consumers, positioning itself in stark contrast to Amazon's corporate image.
The rising consumer interest in sustainability has presented economic opportunities for eBay, particularly as younger demographics gravitate toward purchasing pre-owned items. in response, eBay has directed its marketing efforts toward Gen Z customers and formed partnerships with cultural phenomena like Love Island, further solidifying its appeal among contemporary audiences.
