About the Role: As a Data Engineer at Tubi, you'll be instrumental in developing and maintaining robust data processing pipelines that underpin our reporting, analytics, and performance insights.

Each product team presents unique big data challenges, requiring you to be adaptable, curious, and possess a strong foundation in big data and engineering principles.

• Participate in the occasional on-call rotation (12-hr shifts, ~1-2/month)
• Understand your product vertical's datasets, with an ability to document and educate your team on how certain tables / fields are meant to be used
• Be the liaison between your product vertical and the core data infrastructure team to make sure business needs are met in a computationally efficient manner

Your Background:

• BSc/MSc in Computer Science or related field
• 4+ years of industry experience, at least 3 of which are in a data engineering (or data-centric software engineering) role
• Track record of building and operating scalable, flexible, and always-on data pipelines
• A desire and ability to truly understand and serve the business problems and use-cases you will be working with
• Fluent in data manipulation and SQL
• Strong knowledge of Spark, Python (libraries like pandas and polars, helpful)
• Strong experience with Databricks (SQL Warehouses, Jobs Clusters, and Serverless)

• Experience with cloud providers and cloud storage (AWS preferred)
• Experience with efficiently working with datasets at TB scale
