We’re looking for senior backend generalist engineers capable of owning entire sub-systems.

Role overview

Our backend technology stack consists of:

- Scala + Python + Typescript

- Kubernetes + Spark

- SQL + BigQuery

We’re looking for senior backend generalist engineers capable of owning entire sub-systems. We prefer language-agnostic devs capable of both learning new technologies where needed as well as pragmatically executing on existing infrastructure. There’s a huge amount of technology powering Lustre; automated web scraping, real time pricing, knowledge graph generation, product ranking neural nets as well as core storage/serving infrastructure.

Must have requirements

Comfortable with common functional practices such as "functional core, imperative shell", "immutable by default", and "make illegal states unrepresentable"
6+ years of software development experience outside of education and internships.
Experience with deploying projects in a Unix environment
Experience with relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle)
Effective interpersonal, communication, and collaboration skills with great problem solving abilities
Strong user data privacy values

Nice to haves

Experience developing non-trivial programs in a functional language with Type Variables (Generics) and Algebraic Data Types, such as Scala or Haskell.
Experience with data processing frameworks (Spark, Airflow) & building data-pipelines.
Experience with streaming frameworks (Kafka, Samza, Flink)
Experience designing and implementing backend servers and APIs.
