You’ll work with large, real-time and batch datasets from devices across the globe — ensuring our systems are scalable, secure, and delivering accurate, timely data to the teams who need it.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain scalable data pipelines (batch and real-time) using modern cloud tools.
• Partner closely with product and engineering teams to deliver data-driven features and services that support our safety mission.
• Support our existing ETL/ELT processes, data lake, data warehouse, and data lakehouse environments.
• Ensure data quality, reliability, and observability through robust monitoring, alerting, and documentation practices.
• Participate actively in architectural discussions and contribute to the long-term strategy of our data platform.

• Degree in Computing Science, Data Engineering, Information Technology, or related discipline.
• 3+ years of experience in a Data Engineering role.
• Experience with event-driven architecture and related technologies (e.g., Apache Kafka, Amazon MSK).
• Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and CI/CD best practices in multi-environment deployment workflows, including hands‑on experience with Terraform and GitHub Actions.
• Experience with monitoring and alerting platforms such as CloudWatch, Datadog, or PagerDuty.

• Proficiency with AWS data services: Redshift, EMR, S3, Lambda, Kinesis, and MSK.
• Strong proficiency in SQL, Python, Java, and/or Scala.
• You’re a pragmatic builder and problem-solver who’s passionate about enabling better decisions through data.
• You understand that clean architecture and thorough documentation are essential, not optional.
• You work well in agile teams and enjoy collaborating with product, engineering, and analytics partners.
• You have opinions on data modeling, enjoy the challenge of working with event-driven architectures, and are comfortable switching between SQL, Python, Java, Scala and a variety of AWS services.
• You have embraced AI-assisted development as a core part of your workflow — leveraging agentic tools such as Claude Code, Amazon Q Developer, and GitHub Copilot to accelerate delivery, reduce toil, and maintain higher standards of code quality.

Nice to Have

• Experience with additional big data technologies such as BigQuery, Snowflake, Microsoft Fabric, Hive, Hadoop, Apache Flink, or Apache Spark.
• Familiarity with BI and analytics tools including Power BI and Amazon Quick.
• Experience supporting data science teams with the infrastructure, tooling, and model‑serving pipelines they need.
• Familiarity with AI/ML services on AWS, including Amazon Bedrock, SageMaker, or Strands, and an understanding of how data engineering work underpins model training and inference workflows.
