At Scribd (pronounced “scribbed”), we believe reading is more important than ever. Join our cast of characters as we build the world’s largest and most fascinating digital library: giving subscribers access to a growing collection of ebooks, audiobooks, magazines, documents, Scribd Originals and more. In addition to works from major publishers and top authors, our community includes over 1.4M subscribers in nearly every country worldwide.
What you'll do
Data quality and integrity are two areas of focus for your work in our existing, organically-grown data infrastructure. You would be helping to grow the data engineering team which builds technology for developers to use. Developers across the organization rely on data to accomplish their goals, and you will lead the team building libraries, utilities, and services to help developers more readily access, understand, and benefit from our data. Depending on the project, this might involve collaboration with the Data Science and Content Engineering teams to identify business-critical Hive tables, or working with Core Platform to suggest better approaches for scaling streaming data sets. Almost everything you would be working on would be to increase the "customer satisfaction" for internal engineering customers of Scribd data.
Required Skills
• Strong written and verbal communication skills (we're remote!)
• Ability to develop software, whether scripts for shuffling data around, batch tasks, or stream processing units.
• Experience building and delivering high quality data systems using tools from the Hadoop or Spark ecosystem
• Mentoring skills and experience training and educating teammates or colleagues.
• Fluency with at least one dialect of SQL (MySQL and Hive preferred)
