Job description

Applecart is the leading technology company creating a new category of “Decision Maker Marketing”. The most important decisions are made by the hardest people to reach and influence. Historically, C-suite leaders have lacked the tools to reach the stakeholders that matter most to their business. The c-suites of hundreds of Fortune 500 companies, major agencies, trade associations, nonprofits, and governments use Applecart to put their best content in front of business-critical decision makers and those they trust — from policymakers and investors to CEOs, key employees, members of the media and more. Decision makers are informed by what they read, learn from advisors, hear from colleagues, and discuss with family and friends. To break through to them, you must reach them through the only channel that really moves them: those they know and trust. Applecart’s platform uses publicly available or fully permissioned data to map billions of social relationships between nearly every American adult and enable clients to deliver content directly to decision makers and those that matter most to them.

We are hiring a Staff Data Engineer in our New York City office.

About the Role:

As a Staff Engineer, Data on the Identity & Ecosystem team, your mission will be to continually optimize Applecart’s core targeting capabilities. You will join a colocated, hybrid-remote team of skilled and collaborative software engineers dedicated to the continuous delivery of business value. You will have collective ownership of integrations with various external APIs, large batch data processing pipelines and entity resolution algorithms. As a technical leader at Applecart, you will partner closely with Product/Tech leadership, setting the course for the future of the company's technology.

Who You Are:

You are a veteran software developer specialized in large scale data engineering. You have a long track record delivering products and collaborating with Product managers. You help define and evangelize coding best practices and enjoy coaching less experienced team members.

Experiences and Capabilities You Bring:

• You have 10+ years of professional software development experience
• You have strong computer science fundamentals
• You have designed and implemented scalable data processing pipelines
• You have worked with all types of storage/persistence engines, and know their applications: relational databases, document databases, key/value stores, etc…
• You have experience implementing various data warehousing architectures, including products like Snowflake or Databricks
• You are a SQL expert
• You have experience with distributed computing and know the strengths/weaknesses of different frameworks (should include Apache Spark)
• You are an excellent verbal and written communicator. You are an expert at producing visuals for technical communication.

This is a hybrid role. Work from anywhere on Monday and Friday and in Applecart’s New York City office Tuesday through Thursday.

Compensation:

Our compensation package consists of three components: (i) a base salary, (ii) annual cash bonus, and (iii) generous equity compensation.

The base salary range for this role is between $180,000-$250,000, based on the candidate's experience and skills relative to the requirements above. The salary range provided is exclusive of discretionary annual cash bonus and equity compensation. The salary range provided for this role is specific to candidates located in the New York City area.
