Job description

We believe the best technology engineers ask why before they ask how, and that's the Data Engineer we're recruiting in Boulder. Net it out: internship, $101,000 - $140,000, 5 years, ownership of the technology outcome, and a Macys team that has your back.

Key Responsibilities

• Push Regression Analysis changes safely behind flags so Boulder, CO rollbacks take seconds
• Stand up observability so Macys sees failures before customers in CO do
• Ensure code quality through automated linting, testing, and static analysis
• Bridge Snowflake and RAG so the two halves of Macys's platform finally talk
• Walk technology stakeholders through Apache Spark tradeoffs in language Macys execs grasp

What You'll Bring

• Self-motivated and able to work independently with minimal oversight
• Clear thinking under the kind of pressure Boulder, CO deadlines bring
• A CO work history, or strong reasons you'll thrive here anyway
• The kind of curiosity that reads the docs before asking
• Comfort interpreting data and translating findings into clear recommendations
• Sound instincts for reading a room you've never been in before

Ask anyone in Boulder about Macys and you'll hear the same thing: an underdog-spirited crew that ships fast and sweats the Regression Analysis details. You'll find a flat structure where the best argument wins, regardless of title.

We set the base at $101,000 - $140,000 and build outward with growth coaching, a mentor, benefits, and hours you genuinely control.
