• Develop and optimize data ingestion, transformation, and serving workflows using clean, maintainable, and well-documented code, automated tests, and tooling that improve reliability, observability, and data quality.
• Participate in code reviews, design reviews, and technical discussions, identifying opportunities to simplify data systems, reduce technical debt, and improve performance, scalability, and cost efficiency across datasets and services.
• Own the end-to-end lifecycle of data features and services, including deployment, monitoring, incident response, and incremental improvement, while safely integrating and operating AI/ML-enabled solutions that improve outcomes.
• Work across different parts of the data stack and adjacent domains, demonstrating familiarity with AI-driven systems, tools, or workflows and applying AI/ML concepts to real-world products.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related technical field; or equivalent related professional experience.
• 2+ years of relevant professional experience.
• Experience designing, building, and operating production data pipelines, data services, or data platforms, and owning data features or services through development, testing, deployment, monitoring, troubleshooting, and resolution of production issues.
• Hands-on proficiency in at least one modern programming language and its ecosystem, with experience in low-level system design, API design, and data modeling for data-centric, service-oriented, or microservices architectures.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience designing and implementing scalable, fault-tolerant, and high-throughput data solutions, including well-structured schemas, data contracts, and APIs that serve multiple teams or domains.
• Demonstrated success improving data platform availability, performance, reliability, or quality through metrics, observability, automation, alerting, and automated recovery.
• Experience integrating or leveraging AI/ML-enabled platforms, feature stores, or model-serving data flows in production, and safely operating AI-driven data features to improve customer and business outcomes.
• Experience across multiple areas of the data stack, including ingestion, transformation, storage, and data-serving APIs, with the ability to adapt to new frameworks, platforms, and AI-driven tooling.
