drive projects end to end: clarify the problem, shape the solution, scope the work, and lead delivery through implementation, testing, deployment, and operation
build production services, pipelines, and data products in Go and Python, with clear interfaces, automated tests, and strong observability
design schemas, data contracts, and domain models that evolve safely, handle late-arriving data, and answer real business questions
build in data quality checks, lineage, freshness monitoring, and clear ownership
operate and improve the systems you build, including incident response, reliability, performance, and cost efficiency
work with product, engineering, analytics, and data science to agree priorities and resolve trade-offs and support other engineers through mentoring, code reviews, and clear documentation
Was du mitbringst:
senior-level experience delivering and operating production systems in a cloud environment. Experience with AWS or Palantir Foundry is useful, but experience with other cloud platforms is equally welcome
a track record of building production services in Go or another statically typed language, alongside solid Python skills and the ability to work across our stack
strong software engineering fundamentals, including maintainable code, automated testing, API design, and observability
demonstrated ownership of projects from problem definition to production: you turn open questions into a workable plan, make sound technical decisions, and drive delivery while maintaining engineering quality
experience with data modeling and reliable data processing, or strong transferable backend skills and the ability and motivation to develop that expertise
clear communication, effective collaboration with technical and nontechnical colleagues, and experience helping other engineers develop
the ability to learn quickly, work through unfamiliar problems, and make practical trade-offs around reliability, performance, and cost
experience building recommendation services, working with lakehouse platforms, or handling high-throughput processing is a plus
