- Build and operate ETL/ELT pipelines for large-scale data extraction and transformation

- Work with cloud infrastructure on GCP and AWS, primarily on GKE

- Improve observability, reliability, and operational excellence across the systems you contribute to

- Partner with product and data science teams to deliver impactful solutions

- Contribute to code reviews, documentation, and knowledge sharing across the team

- Stay current with evolving web technologies, anti-crawling mechanisms, and AI-powered extraction approaches

Must-Have Qualifications:

- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience building production systems

- Strong CS fundamentals: algorithms, data structures, concurrency, distributed systems

- Proficiency in Java and/or Python

- Track record of owning features end-to-end from design through deployment and operation

- Comfortable making sound architectural decisions at the component level

Data Engineering:

- Hands-on experience with cloud data warehouses such as BigQuery or Snowflake

- Experience designing and operating large-scale ETL/ELT pipelines

- Experience with orchestration tools such as Apache Airflow

- Experience with streaming or event-driven systems such as Apache Kafka

Cloud and Infrastructure:

- Production experience on GCP (preferred) or AWS; multi-cloud exposure is a plus

- Hands-on experience with Kubernetes (GKE/EKS) for distributed workloads

- Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tooling such as Terraform

Background and Mindset:

- Strong communicator who can explain technical decisions clearly

- Comfortable operating in ambiguity and iterating quickly
