ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Senior Data Engineer at ShopRunner, you’ll help our Data Science team as we build models for ShopRunner. Our data science team is full-stack meaning we own the DS process end-to-end from training models to API deployment. We occasionally run into issues beyond our capabilities to solve and that’s where you’ll come in.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Build and support performant APIs to serve DS model predictions. We have APIs in Python (Flask, FastAPI) and Kotlin.
• Collaborate w/ DS to develop frameworks to productize our machine learning models.
• Help us design our databases and queries so that we can quickly return results from our models
• Debug complex deployment issues
  

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• You’ve written production code in Python and JVM-based systems, particularly REST APIs. Bonus points if the APIs have served data science models
• You can write performant SQL queries and can optimize databases to return results quickly.
• You’ve worked with data stores and technologies such as Spark, Airflow, ElasticSearch, Kinesis, Kafka, Postgres, and Snowflake. (But you don’t need to have experience with all of these technologies).
• You’ve built data pipelines to move and transform data. We typically do ELT pipelines here at ShopRunner.
• You like debugging thorny problems, particularly when an application needs increased speed, scalability, or extensibility.
• You like working collaboratively with folks who have different experiences than you do.
• You like learning about new technologies and are willing to share what you learn back to the team.
• You like working with a team of goofy people.

We want you to bring your whole human self to work every day. We accept you for who you are and consider everybody on an equal opportunity basis without regard to race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.
