Job descriptionData Engineering at Tessian

As a high-growth scale-up, our email datasets are growing at an exponential rate. This is a great as it allows us to train best-in-class machine learning models to prevent previously unpreventable data breaches, however we're at the scale where our current data pipelines aren't where we want them to be: this is why we’re looking to bring another Data Engineer into the Tessian family. You will sit in our Data Engineering team and work day-to-day with our Data Scientists to build out infrastructure and pipelines, empowering teams to iterate quickly on terabytes of data. You'll be hugely impactful in this high-leverage role and we strongly believe that if we can query all of our data, in near real-time, and using scalable systems, then we can deliver limitless value to our clients through the data breaches we prevent.

Some interesting projects we’re working on:

• Building an Ingestion system to process Insights from different models using Kafka and Spark
• Designing the next generation data-lake setting ourselves up to handle massive future scale
• Creating a framework allowing us to standardise how we deploy all our ML models to production

On a day-to-day basis you'll get to

• Build systems to efficiently handle our ever increasing volume of data
• Design and implement data pipelines as well as owning the vision of what our systems could achieve in the future
• Work with Data Scientists to train, version, test, deploy and monitor our machine learning models in production
• Design systems to expose data to our product and engineering teams in a performant way
