Senior Software Engineer - Planning & Forecasting

What you'll do:

You will work with engineers, data scientists, ML pipelines, data processing - automation, pipelines, quality, warehousing, governance, model deployments, experimentation configuration, and developing and deploying applications and services. to name a few. * You will solve petabyte-scale data challenges across large-scale distributed systems coordinating thousands of servers in cloud and physical data centers around the world.

Senior Engineers contribute to more than our product - they build up our team. Through a combination of mentoring, technical leadership, and/or direct management of small teams, they make others better and raise the bar for those around them.

Our Senior Software Engineers are end-to-end owners. You will participate actively in all aspects of designing, building, and delivering data products for our clients.

Who you are:

You have experience with high level languages such as C#, Java, Python, Scala

You are a broadly skilled engineer, accustomed to developing data processing pipelines. You have experience building always-on systems, working across a variety of technologies and service layers.

You have experience designing and developing software interfaces/APIs to enable communication between various software modules, subsystems, or external systems.

You have experience working with data scientists and data engineers and understand & empathize with their needs and comfort levels.

You can think through model lifecycles end to end. This covers evaluating model feasibility - both runtime performance and from an accuracy POV; thinking of validation up front and challenging if the validation processes are sound; and model pipeline from training to deployments to setting up experiments.

You have worked with data modeling, configured AB test experimentation, and have experience working in technologies like SQL, ETL, and technologies similar to Spark, Airflow, SQL, data warehousing, etc...

You have a product-focused mindset. You have the passion and ability to contribute to the process of discovering what will delight our clients and push forward one of the world's largest and most influential industries toward a vision of openness, transparency, and evidence-based decision-making.

You work with confidence and without ego. Our engineers have deep knowledge and exercise a high degree of leadership in their daily work.

You are a creative thinker, not bound by "the way things have always been done".

You have a sustained track record of making significant, self-directed, and end-to-end contributions to large, impactful engineering projects. You think beyond just the task at hand to deeply understand the 'why' behind what you are doing. * You understand engineering fundamentals. On our scale, many off-the-shelf techniques and existing technologies (open source and enterprise) do not work. You can work from first principles to evaluate solutions and adapt them to a unique environment.
