Are you passionate about data technology? You might be a great candidate for our data platform team!

Data is at the core of everything we do at CircleCI, and our data platform is what powers, controls, and stores it all. We’re seeking a Senior Engineer to join us and help grow our Data Platform to support CircleCI through 2021 and beyond!

This is a full-time, remote role for candidates in the United States or Canada.

About you:

You’re an experienced engineer in the data infrastructure or data platform fields. You know the challenges of platform work, balancing reactive tasks from stakeholders with investments in the platform, while still being productive and delivering value. You’re a great communicator and get energy and enjoyment from reaching out to others and helping meet their needs.

About Our Team:

Data Platform at CircleCI is responsible for providing simple, reliable, fast, and secure access to the data that powers our business. We manage the data stores, pipelines, and processes that contain and govern data at CircleCI, and we make ourselves as accessible as possible to ensure that anyone in the company who needs data to do their jobs can get it.

What we're looking for:

An engineer who’s comfortable with both the technologies we use, and working on a close-knit, collaborative team. We work to meet the needs of our users throughout the business, so a multi-functional, collaborative, and service-minded attitude is key. We highly value good communication, empathy, and initiative in all of our engineers and employees. Some qualities specific to this opening include:

A solid understanding of the fundamentals of data engineering and engineering at scale, including concepts like infrastructure-as-code, ETL,

  • nix systems, and Git.
  • Years of experience on a data platform, platform, operations, infrastructure, SRE, or a similarly-shaped team.
  • Someone who understands the importance of shipping early and often, and has demonstrable experience working and delivering iteratively.
  • An enthusiastic and effective communicator: interactions with our users across the business should be common and engaging to you, and you should be able to appeal to technical and non-technical listeners alike.
  • On-call rotation experience.

Bonus points:

  • Proficiency with Snowflake, dbt, Airflow, and MongoDB.
  • Experience working remotely and with a fully distributed team/company.
  • Folks who model good work/life balance to the team and company.

What you’ll do:

  • Make sizable contributions to data platform projects, in collaboration with the rest of the team, ranging from building pipelines and data models to maintaining monitoring and alerting.
  • Take the lead on medium-to-large sized initiatives and OKRs.
  • Proactively identify and resolve future technical risk.
  • Meet with partners from across the company to help facilitate their data needs, and listen to them on how to make our platform better.
  • Participate in our on-call engineering rotation.
