Job summary

SpaceXAI is seeking a Data Engineer to join the X product engineering team. You will design and operate a distributed data platform supporting real-time and batch pipelines, powering deep user-behavior insights and product decisions.

You will work across teams including Product, Algorithm, Legal, Finance and Sales to unlock data-driven improvements. The role emphasizes end-to-end ownership, data correctness, and proactive problem-solving in a fast-moving environment.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of professional software engineering experience, ideally in data engineering or distributed systems.
• Hands-on experience with Python, Rust, Scala, Go or Java and data pipelines.
• Experience with Spark, Kafka, Flink, SQL and RMDBs/NoSQL storage.
• Ability to translate product requirements into engineering implementations and communicate across teams.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and operate production-grade realtime and batch pipelines that ingest, process, validate, and deliver data powering user-behavior insights and product decisions.
• Create shared datasets, fact tables, and internal data products that let other teams analyze, debug, and improve product performance.
• Prototype and build tooling that automates and accelerates internal data workflows — backfills, dashboards, report generation, and self-serve access to data.
• Own data correctness end to end: validate with output invariants, denominator reconciliation, and independent recomputation, and lead root-cause investigations when key metrics move unexpectedly.
• Move across query engines and frameworks (BigQuery, Trino, Clickhouse; Flink, Kafka, Spark/Scalding) choosing the right tool.
• Partner across product and business teams to surface data gaps and prioritize high-impact opportunities for data acquisition and improvement.
• Iterate quickly on feedback, shipping the smallest useful increment with a bias toward reliable solutions.
