The role

We are looking for a talented Data Engineer to join us and help shape how we build our product. As our second DE role this is a greenfield opportunity where someone can have impact across our whole infrastructure. In this role you will:

Help set up and maintain our Google Cloud suite, including maintaining and improving our data warehouse.
Develop and own ETL pipelines to transform and move our data as well as iterating on and improving existing processes.
Help develop our backend solution written in Django, making data from our research database available to our frontend products and integrations.
Champion the use of version control, QC and testing to keep a clean and reliable codebase.
Put our data collection scripts and models into production, deploying them and monitoring their performance. These could be a simple API call, but could be a web-scraping task or deploying a model written by a Data Scientist.

If you do not fulfill all requirements in the job description, we encourage you to submit your application nonetheless.

Core skills

Experience developing and maintaining cloud infrastructure, ideally the Google Cloud set of products.
