We are a high-growth company transforming how businesses operate by integrating AI, IoT, and cloud-native services into scalable, real-time platforms. As a Platform Data Engineer, you’ll play a critical role in building and maintaining the data infrastructure that powers our products, services, and insights.
You’ll join a multidisciplinary team focused on ingesting, processing, and managing massive streams of sensor and operational data across a wide array of devices—from drones and robots to industrial systems and smart environments.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain scalable, reliable, and high-throughput data ingestion pipelines for structured and semi-structured data.
- Implement robust and secure data lake and SQL-based storage architectures optimized for performance and cost.
- Develop and maintain internal tools and frameworks for data ingestion using Python, Golang, and SQL.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Cloud, Edge, Product, and AI teams to define data contracts, schemas, and retention policies.
- Use AWS cloud infrastructure (including Argo Workflows, S3, Lambda, Glue, Kinesis, Athena, and RDS) to support end-to-end data workflows.
- Employ Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) practices using Terraform to manage data platform infrastructure.
- Monitor data pipelines for quality, latency, and failures using tools such as CloudWatch, SumoLogic, or DataDog.
- Continuously optimize storage, partitioning, and query performance across large-scale datasets.
- Participate in architecture reviews and ensure the platform adheres to security, compliance, and best practice standards.
Skills and Qualifications
- 5+ years of professional experience in software engineering or data engineering.
- Strong programming skills in Python and Golang.
- Deep understanding of SQL and modern data lake architectures (e.g., using Parquet, Iceberg, or Delta Lake).
- Hands-on experience with AWS services including but not limited to: S3, Lambda, Glue, Kinesis, Athena, and RDS.
- Proficiency with Terraform for automating infrastructure deployment and management.
- Experience working with real-time or batch data ingestion at scale, and designing fault-tolerant ETL/ELT pipelines.
- Familiarity with event-driven architectures and messaging systems like Kafka or Kinesis.
- Strong debugging and optimization skills across cloud, network, and application layers.
- Excellent collaboration, communication, and documentation skills.
Bonus Points
- Experience working with time-series or IoT sensor data at industrial scale.
- Familiarity with analytics tools and data warehouse integration (e.g., Redshift, Snowflake).
- Exposure to gRPC and protobuf-based data contracts.
- Experience supporting ML pipelines and feature stores.
- Working knowledge of Kubernetes concepts.
- Prior startup experience and/or comfort working in fast-paced, iterative environments.
