Role
Who you are
- The role requires strong problem ownership, and clear communication across teams like other Engineering teams, Product, and Solution Consulting
- 5+ years of experience in backend and/or data engineering roles, with a strong focus on building and maintaining data pipelines
- Proficiency in JVM-based languages (Java, Kotlin), ideally combined with Python and experience in Spring Boot
- Solid understanding of data engineering tools and frameworks, like Spark, Flink, Kafka, dbt, Trino, and Airflow
- Hands-on experience with cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure), infrastructure-as-code practices, and ideally container orchestration with Kubernetes
- Familiarity with SQL and NoSQL databases (Cassandra, Postgres), ideally combined with data collaboration platforms (Snowflake, Databricks)
- Strong DevOps mindset with experience in CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and observability tools (Grafana or equivalent)
- Exposure to analytics, reporting, and BI tools such as Apache Superset, Lightdash or OpenSearch
- Willingness to work across the stack by contributing to API development and, at times, UI components (Vue.js, Zoho, or similar)
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work independently and adapt quickly to complex codebases
- Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience
What the job involves
- We are looking for a versatile Data Engineer with a strong relation to Java backend engineering to join our Graph Delivery team and help build, extend, and maintain customer-facing graph solutions
- You will work on large-scale batch processing pipelines while also contributing to APIs and sometimes UIs, ensuring our products remain reliable, efficient, and impactful
- You’ll deliver immediate value through fixes and features, while long term driving the evolution of our graph products with new capabilities, improved performance, and architectural coherence
- Join a team to design, build, and maintain batch-oriented high scale data products, along with the APIs and minimalistic UIs that support them
- Collaborate with Product, Solution Consulting, and Sales Engineering to deliver solutions for our most strategic customers—whether next-generation innovations or custom-tailored adaptations
- Take ownership of the full problem space, spanning data storage and pipelines through to APIs, metadata, and UIs
- Improve and extend existing products with new features, cost optimizations, and reliability enhancements, while addressing technical debt and ensuring alignment with the broader architecture
- We equip our team with all the tools needed to perform their work remotely, and we ensure people bond and stay connected thanks to regular all-hands meetings, communication tools such as Slack and Zoom
Our take
Digital marketers use cookies to identify their clients' users and personalize ads toward them, but the associated privacy issues are resulting in data giants such as Google proposing plans to ban them. This will significantly reduce the impact of digital marketing campaigns unless a new system for user identification arises.
ID5 provides identity infrastructure for digital marketing companies, taking a privacy-first approach by maximizing how first-party proprietary data is used, preventing reliance on cookies. The company has taken a shared approach to its privacy-first data infrastructure, enabling companies to exchange data to improve audience match rates, measure the value of the data, and facilitate people-based marketing strategies.
Despite competition in the privacy-first proprietary data market, ID5 stands out through its end-to-end user recognition and measurement toolset, helping companies not only identify their users but also measure their marketing impact on them. Furthermore, its shared infrastructural approach shows the potential to contribute toward a large-scale data ecosystem, as opposed to only benefitting companies on a granular level. Leading software companies, such as Microsoft, are taking interest in and partnering with ID5 due to these USPs.
