We’re looking for a Data Engineer to build data pipelines, design data warehouses, and support our Data Science team across our web-first real estate software platforms, neighborhoods.com and 55places.com. In this role you’ll be designing pipelines and data stores to manage terabytes of real estate data and clickstream data. This role will give you the opportunity to define and refine the overall data strategy for a growing tech company.

We think you could be really successful if you:

  • Want to lead the way in identifying, scoping, building and deploying new data solutions (pipelines, warehousing and other infrastructure).

  • Are self-motivated and curious, with the desire to initiate and own projects from start to finish.

  • Are a team player and enjoy collaborating across teams to develop solutions that are the best fit for the products and your peers

  • Love the challenge of managing high volumes of data

  • 2-5 years of experience working as a Data Engineer or Data Scientist

  • Expert-level understanding of SQL-based database design and usage

  • Professional experience in high-volume ETL systems.

  • Effective communication with engineering peers, data scientists, project managers and business stakeholders.

 

Bonus Points if you have:

  • An advanced degree in Computer Science, Analytics or a related field

  • Hands-on experience building data solutions in at least one public cloud environment. We use AWS.

  • Experience using Python or R in a data science/analytics role

  • Familiarity processing and analyzing high-volume clickstream data

  • Experience with a Business Intelligence tool like Tableau, Qlik, or Amazon QuickSight.
