  • Creating tools to automate all the things! 

Requirements

  • Interest in the data creation lifecycle, from 1's and 0's to driving business decisions

  • Can clearly communicate technical concepts in plain English 

Nice-to-haves  

  • Linux/Unix command line and scripting knowledge 
  • Experience with distributed software development (scalability, efficiency)
  • Experience working with Big Data (Kafka, PubSub, Spark, Presto, Flink, Beam, etc.) 
  • Experience working with AWS, GCP, or Azure cloud 
  • Experience with CI/CD, unit and integration testing, orchestration and containerization tools e.g. GitHub, Jenkins, Airflow, Docker, Kubernetes, etc
