We are an in-office company, and our expectation is that employees primarily work from their Applied Intuition office 5 days a week. However, we also recognize the importance of flexibility and trust our employees to manage their schedules responsibly. This may include occasional remote work, starting the day with morning meetings from home before heading to the office, or leaving earlier when needed to accommodate family commitments.
About the role
We are looking for infrastructure engineers with expertise in scaling open-source data infrastructure to join the Data ML infra group. This role will work across the entire data lifecycle (collection, ingestion, storage, querying, retrieval) and work directly with all business units across the company to design and develop both external and internal products. Handling massive volumes of data for Applied Intuition's platform needs is a critical area and we are looking for someone who can be hands-on in supporting our data products and verticals across the company. At Applied Intuition, we encourage all engineers to take ownership over technical and product decisions, closely interact with external and internal users to collect feedback, and contribute to a thoughtful, dynamic team culture.
At Applied Intuition, you will:
Scale infrastructure to support all deployment types (cloud, hybrid, on-prem) and across regions
Be involved in the end to end data lifecycle, from the external-facing product to the underlying platform and infrastructure for it
Build features to tune processing pipeline for fast data ingestion and indexing depending on customer's needs and workloads
Enable product workflows that expose performant query interfaces and offer easy-to-use integration hooks
Develop and deploy high-quality software using modern tooling and frameworks, especially open-source technologies
We're looking for someone who has:
A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent
3+ years of professional experience
Experience with large-scale open source data technologies (Spark, Kafka, Hudi, Flyte, etc.)
Experience with containerization and other modern software development workflows
Knowledge of the open source landscape with judgment on when to choose open source versus build in-house
Nice to have:
Expertise with modern programming languages (Python, C++, GoLang, Scala, etc.)
Experience with other open-source data technologies not listed above
Expertise with Kubernetes
Experience with enterprise software, including on-prem and/or cloud environments
Deep knowledge of data quality, data profiling and cleansing techniques
