Description

As a Data Engineer, you will apply your skills at the forefront of data processing, using cutting edge tools and technologies to help us scale up our fault detection analysis to many thousands of sensors. Your key responsibility is to build core infrastructure that supports running Machine Learning models that do near real-time prediction.

You will be part of the software engineering team, but will be working on a daily basis with both data scientists and software engineers. Some of your daily tasks may include:

• Support and improve data science pipelines
• Work closely with the Data Science and Analyst teams to build the best infrastructure for their needs
• Build CI/CD infrastructure for our data architecture components that includes code linting, tests, monitoring and deployment
• Debug core performance problems around databases, data pipelines efficiency and code complexity in both production & research environment

You will be monitoring the data flow, databases and other systems related to our data science pipeline, where you are again focused on robustness and efficiency.

How we work
The software engineering team uses its own simple, practical, and functional methodology, allowing you to fully focus on software engineering without having to switch tasks. You will work based on the principle of freedom and responsibility.
We take pride in combining professionalism, trust, and very few meetings.
