• Optimizing data pipelines for performance and scalability
• Work with data analysts to productionize queries and data in data warehouses, data lakes, and OLAP systems
• Work with data scientists to productionize machine learning models
• Establish automated mechanisms to monitor and improve data integrity across all of StrongArm’s Big Data sets.
• Be a primary contributor in defining a data engineering roadmap, and coordinating multiple projects.
• Development leadership experience or desire to acquire that experience and mentor others
  

TECHNICAL QUALIFICATIONS:

• 5+ years experience in Business Intelligence or Data Engineering, with emphasis on: stream processing, machine learning engineering, hadoop
• Architecting data pipelines and ETL with Apache Spark with terabytes of data and optimizing them to maximize resource utilization and throughput
• Experience with distributed data streaming frameworks like Spark Structured Streaming, Apache Flink, Kafka, etc
• OLAP system experience (Clickhouse, Pinot, Druid, etc)
• Data warehouse usage and optimization experience (Delta Lake, Hive, BigQuery, RedShift, Snowflake)
• Scala, Java, or Python proficiency
• Advanced Experience with RDBMS and SQL
• Experience with automated testing for distributed systems in Spark (unit testing, end to end testing, QA, CI/CD)
• Experience working directly with Data Scientists to productionize experimental algorithms.

PREFERRED SKILLS

• Experience productionizing machine learning at scale and A/B testing new models: scikit-learn, tensorflow, pytorch
• Experience working with Embedded Systems (C++)
