• Build and optimize large-scale data pipelines in Spark/Presto to compute experiment metrics, power analyses, and marketplace-level supply-demand insights.
• Collaborate with data scientists and product managers to translate statistical models into robust, production-ready APIs and batch workflows.
• Utilize software development best practices to ensure systems are reliable (monitoring, alerting, logging, etc)
• Design and document architectural solutions to complex engineering problems

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field
• 2+ years of experience in professional software development experience, developing and deploying systems in production environments
• Knowledge of different compilation steps (and ability to fix) in languages such as Go, C, C++, or Java.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to document architectures and algorithms.
• Experience with Software Engineering Best Practices.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with geospatial data and location-based services.
