The team:
The Streaming Organization's Data Engineering team owns the applications and infrastructure that make up the Streaming Org's data pipeline, handling ~40 billion events per day at an average of 400-500 thousand per second. This data underpins the Streaming business - including client reporting, internal data science, account managers, and product + business teams - and as such we need to build systems that remain scalable and efficient at this volume of data while also ensuring data consistency and reliability. We value communication, discussion, and sharing of ideas to come to the best technical solutions to our large-scale data challenges. We are looking for people who want to get things done and value open collaboration (including constructive feedback when brainstorming). Our end-to-end ownership of the data world includes both typical data-engineering type problems (think Spark pipelines, ETL processing, etc) and more general software-engineering tech as well (think Java applications, API design, etc).

Highly-scalable infrastructure: Our traffic has patterns with peak- and off-peak times and seasonal shifts, and our data infrastructure needs to be able to respond accordingly
Cost optimization: Improving profit margins by lowering the infrastructure cost basis through building efficient systems
Technical architecture considerations given various SLAs for data delivery
We’re looking for someone:
With 4+ years of software development experience with a BS/MS Computer Science or equivalent work experience
Who wants to take ownership. We are responsible for the entire software development lifecycle, from requirements gathering to production support
To engage in critical and creative thinking. We expect engineers to present and discuss tradeoffs to solve the problems we face
With either existing experience designing and building systems that work with large-scale data volumes and data ingestion systems at scale in a cloud-first setting, OR established technical excellence with a desire to learn and crush the data engineering world
