As a Software Engineer in distributed systems, you’ll typically be working in Java or Python, and with a technology stack which includes AWS, Kubernetes, Spark, Airflow, gRPC, New Relic and more. Don’t worry if you’re not familiar with these, though - much more important is your understanding of how to design, build and operate distributed systems at scale, your ability to solve problems collaboratively with your teammates, and your passion to learn. You'll be able to break down problems into bite-size chunks and deliver them with high quality.

Skills preferred:

Proficiency in Backend Development: Strong experience with Python, Java, or similar languages, with a focus on building scalable and maintainable systems.

Data Development: Demonstrated experience in our data product, ETL process, Unity Catalog, and DAGs.

Collaboration & Communication: Excellent communication skills, with the ability to work effectively within cross-functional teams and with external partners.
