The Beeswax engineering team is a top-notch group with backgrounds from Google, Amazon, Oracle and other premier technical teams. Because digital advertising operates at an extremely high scale (millions of transactions per second) and low latency, the opportunity to learn about web-scale distributed systems and hard scaling problems is a great advantage of our engineering culture and work.
We are looking for a Data Engineer to build clean pipelines and maintain data products that our customers rely on.
Our products are built on a variety of technologies including C++, Java, Python and LEMP stack (PHP, MySQL, nginx), and while our engineers typically specialize in one area, they need to coordinate and integrate with a wide variety of systems, including homegrown and AWS-native services.
