In this role, you will:

  • Build and maintain hosted environments for key tools with AWS ECS/EKS

  • Participate in team processes such as on-call rotations, bug triage, technical direction, standards, and execution 

  • Own delivery architecture/execution of major component(s) from conception to release

  • Regularly take complex designs / codebases and simplify them without being asked

  • Work closely with leadership to drive adoption of the latest DevOps and DataOps trends and technologies.

The skills you’ll bring include:

  • 5+ years of hands-on software engineering experience 

  • 4+ years working with a major cloud provider (preferably AWS); Experience building/maintaining VPC’s and deploying code using Terraform is a must!

  • 3+ years building and maintaining hosted environments and applications using EKS or another container service is a must!

  • 5+ years of experience in at least one programming language such as Python, Java, Scala is required (Python is our most commonly used language); Advanced SQL expertise is required

  • Experience working in a modern lakehouse is required (Snowflake is preferred); Modern warehousing best practices should be second nature

  • Cloud experience is required (AWS is strongly preferred); Terraform is highly preferred

  • Knowledge and ideally hands on experience working with container services is required (ECS, Kubernetes, etc)

  • Experience working in a mature SDLC environment (ie: CICD) is required 

  • Modern tech stack experience is a plus (dbt, Fivetran, Snowflake. Airflow)

  • Experience as a leader within a data engineering team and ability to mentor teammates 

  • Strong work ethic, resiliency, persistence, and urgency; Data Engineering holds itself to a high standard so you’ll need to keep up!

  • Sharp business and interpersonal skills; ability to influence at senior levels across business units to drive change and achieve common goals
