Your Role

We’re looking for a Lead Data Engineer to join our Data Quality & Infrastructure (DQ&I) team. Join us in shaping a culture where data is at everyone’s fingertips, quickly and intuitively. We currently support a 100TB data warehouse used by hundreds of people to make mission-critical decisions for our products and business. We’ll lean on your experience to guide projects that scale our systems and make data analysis more efficient across the company.

We'd like to hire someone for this role who lives near our office in Nebraska and Lexington, but we're also open to remote candidates in Boston, Phoenix, Kansas CityChicagoAustin or Dallas.

Must-Haves

  • Technical backbone. To keep our ETL pipelines and data platform running smoothly, we need someone with at least seven years of experience using Python and AWS data services, like: DMS, Glue, Spectrum, Athena, RDS, DocumentDB and Redshift. We also use Airflow and Lambda, as well as designing and maintaining our own infrastructure as code (Terraform/Terragrunt/CodePipeline).
  • Problem-solving skills. You understand that finding solutions is a team effort and will help support other Engineers learn and develop.
  • Translation tactics. You translate real-world problems into elegant code solutions.
  • Leadership experience. You’ll set an example for others in planning, designing and delivering complex projects, while being the go-to person for all technical matters.
  • Communication skills. You’re always ready to fine-tune your style depending on the interaction, and you’re skilled at connecting with stakeholders from all areas of the company.

Nice-to-Haves

  • Collaborative. One of the Scrum ceremonies you appreciate most is proactively and thoughtfully creating tickets for the team’s backlog.
  • Hudl knowledge. You'll work on Hudl’s innovative data platform, which helps our users find and use our vast library of data to stay ahead of the competition.
  • Comfortable with ownership. You'll work in an autonomous squad that has the freedom and expertise to deliver the best solution.

Our Role

  • Champion work-life harmony. We’ll give you the flexibility you need in your work life (e.g., flexible vacation time, company-wide holidays and timeout (meeting-free) days, remote work options and more) so you can enjoy your personal life too.
  • Guarantee autonomy. We have an open, honest culture and we trust our people from day one. Your team will support you, but you’ll own your work and have the agency to try new ideas. 
  • Encourage career growth. We’re lifelong learners who encourage professional development. We’ll give you tons of resources and opportunities to keep growing.
  • Provide an environment to help you succeed. We've invested in our offices, designing incredible spaces with our employees in mind. But whether you’re at the office or working remotely, we’ll provide you the tech stack and hardware to do your best work.
  • Support your mental and physical health. We care about our employees’ wellbeing. Our Employee Assistance Program, employee resource groups and fitness partner Peerfit have you covered.
  • Cover your medical insurance. We have multiple plans to pick from to ensure you’ll have the coverage you (and your dependents) want, including vision, dental, fertility healthcare and family forming benefits.
  • Contribute to your 401(K). Yep, that’s free money. We’ll match up to 4% of your own contribution.
