More About the Role

The Retention team at Grubhub is focused on growing our active diner business, which manifests itself in many ways, from creating email marketing campaigns to passing our marketing-determined recommendations to our product.  We are looking for an experienced, adaptable, and energetic self-starter, who would like to build products and pipelines with a direct business impact. The engineer will work daily across marketers and data scientists alike, and have ample opportunity to supplement their technical expertise with business development skills, becoming almost a “business” data engineer. Pipelines and processes created in this role will be essential to execution of business needs, so we are looking for somebody who can not only complete the engineering task, but is innately curious about the subsequent business impact. Culture fit is important on this team - we’re hard workers and proactive teammates. As a Data Engineer of a team of data scientists and marketers, we are looking for not only an engineering domain expert, but one who enjoys mentoring and developing others’ engineering know-how.

• Closely work with analysts and marketers alike to assist in building out big data assets, pipelines, and campaigns. Don’t be afraid to learn and understand the business - the engineer best suited to succeed in this role will embrace the business needs as the primary ends, not a constraint.
• Assist team members in technical engineering aspects, particularly with job optimizations and Spark application troubleshooting/tuning.
• Proactively find opportunities to better our business and underlying operations through engineering improvements.

What You Bring to the Table

• Expert skills in querying with SQL,  expert programming in Python, distributed systems/big data processing with Spark.
• 3+ years experience writing test-driven development ETL jobs, both complex and small/flexible, within a business context.
• Experience mentoring/coaching engineers along with overseeing the technical work of developers from other teams.
• Great communication skills/working with teammates, both technical and non-technical.

Got these? Even better
