• Implement high-scale Big Data solutions and contribute to our platform infrastructure and architecture.

• Work with various stakeholders: Product, Engineering, data providers, etc.

What will I bring?

• 6+ years of software development experience.
• Experience building and optimizing data pipelines, ETLs, and streaming systems using technologies such as Spark, Kafka and Airflow, over HDFS / S3.
• 3+ years of experience in Java or Scala, and hands-on experience with Python.
• Strong SQL skills and hands-on experience with Vertica or a similar columnar / MPP database.
• Experience with performance optimization of high-scale systems.
• Experience with large-scale graph processing / graph algorithms (e.g. connected components, community detection) – advantage.
• Experience with Kubernetes – advantage.
• Experience with GitLab and Grafana – advantage.
• Team player, low ego, strong communication skills.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science/Computer Engineering or an equivalent degree.

A Few Fun Facts About the Team

• We rebuild our identity graph every week, linking 7.6 billion devices (and growing) into households using signals from identity partners and our own bidstream.
• We work hand-in-hand with Product and Data Science, reviewing every new pipeline design together each week before any production code ships.
• Our team spans the US, Poland, Ukraine, and Israel, which makes on-call easier: someone’s workday almost always covers our pipelines.
