Job Responsibilities: A day in the life of a Data Engineer
Infura is building a data platform to serve the needs of data scientists, business analysts, and end users
You will be collaborating with the product organization, data scientists, and business analysts to build both the underlying platform as well as data pipelines
Data pipelines will encompass both large-scale batch processing as well as real-time / stream data pipelines
You will design, develop, and operate data integration pipelines to provide high quality datasets for end user, analytical, and machine learning use-cases
You will bring a deep understanding of software engineering best practices, such as proper use of source control, end to end testing process, and automated deployment mechanism to build a high quality data platform
While we have existing systems that require support and maintenance, you will also provide expertise to multiple teams at Infura by acting as a subject matter expert on best practices, tooling, and data engineering practices
Required Skills
First and foremost, we want our data engineers to be great software engineers with a passion for writing high quality code
You appreciate agile software processes, data-driven development, reliability, and responsible experimentation
The ability to be pragmatic and articulate tradeoffs between a perfect solution and a working solution will make you successful in this role
The ideal candidate will have strong experience with various OLTP and OLAP databases, row and columnar oriented storage formats, ELT vs ETL processing, data lakes, and data warehousing
Â
Using strong programming skills in a language such as Python, Scala, Java, or Go, you have built production quality ETL pipelines at scale using Spark, Hadoop or similar framework
Ideally, you will have worked with modern data stores: AWS S3 based data lakes, AWS Redshift, or Snowflake
We are looking for a senior level candidate that can understand requirements, work autonomously, and communicate effectively
If taking ownership of scoping problems and delivering pragmatic solutions sounds interesting, this is the role for you
Bonus points for:
We use Druid, so any practical experience with this would be a bonus
Deep experience with data engineering in the AWS ecosystem, experience with orchestration tools (such as Airflow) or experience with infrastructure management tools such as terraform is beneficial
If you don’t check these boxes, don’t sweat it
We’d love to hear from you
