  • Proficient in building distributed services with RESTful and/or gRPC endpoints, you have a proven track record of developing robust and scalable systems.

  • Hands-on experience working with data in columnar storage formats and wide-column stores like BigTable or Cassandra. Additionally, you have built batch workflow data pipelines using libraries such as Spark or Beam, and are familiar with workflow orchestration tools.

  • Deeply knowledgeable in data modeling, data access, and data storage techniques enables you to craft efficient and effective solutions.

  • Experienced in deploying and operating services in cloud environments like GCP or AWS, using modern CI/CD tools and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices.

  • Passionate about agile software processes, data-driven development, reliability, and responsible experimentation. Your dedication to these principles ensures the delivery of high-quality solutions.

Where You'll Be

  • We offer you the flexibility to work where you work best! For this role, you can be within the EST time zone as long as we have a work location.
