Data Engineer

By applying and enforcing standard and best practices, you will design and develop scalable, 24×7 data and reporting services to process billions of events per day. Specific duties will include developing enhancements to our Hadoop/Hive based data pipeline and extend to streamed data processing; contributing to data reporting projects including generating internal and external reports or visualizations (CSV, Excel, PDF, interactive web graphics and others) and data distribution / reporting components, real‑time bidding or optimization algo using a combination of SQL, Ruby, R, Go, Java script, D3, Bourne shell scripts, cron jobs, and other relevant technologies.

Will also be expected to implement new services and algorithms to improve our product.

The ideal candidate has hands‑on data processing experience. Candidate must be familiar with current distributed computing data technologies on commodity servers and have experience with 24×7 production needs.

• Strong SQL skills on large‑scale databases, knowledge of any of the following RDBMS such as MySQL, Postgres, Redshift, Hive or others.
• Experience with Linux or Unix based systems – including Bourne shell, cron and other Unix utilities.
• Strong software development skills, including experience with Java.
