Senior Data Engineer

We're growing our data engineering team to design and operate the production systems that make our machine learning and analytics work scalable, observable, reliable, and economical. This is a platform-ownership role: you're building the infrastructure a petabyte-scale data platform runs on, not executing tickets handed down from another team.

• Designing and operating production data pipelines across a layered (bronze/silver/gold) data platform: sourcing, cleansing, and transforming data at scale
• Solving incremental sync and stream processing as data volume and account count grow — a real, unsolved scaling problem for us today
• Building regional data architecture that respects data residency and PII boundaries (e.g., data belonging to a region can't simply be centralized into one global store)
• Designing the production systems, orchestration, and deployment mechanisms that turn Data Science's models and analysis into durable, monitored, reliable pipelines

• →5+ years designing and operating data pipelines in production at scale
• →Experience with batch and stream data processing, including incremental/streaming architectures
• →Strong Python and production-grade software engineering practices (testing, code review, version control, monitoring)
• →Demonstrably strong SQL
• →Experience with ETL/ELT pipeline design and orchestration

• Experience with regional/multi-region data storage and data residency constraints
• Parallel dataframes (Dask, Spark, or similar)
• API design/implementation (microservices, REST, etc.)
• Cloud environment experience (GCP or AWS), Docker/Containers, Kubernetes
• Machine learning deployment or serving experience

• Own the platform problem that determines how fast and how reliably ActivTrak's ML and analytics can scale
• Meaningful scaling challenges: incremental/streaming processing, regional data residency, and petabyte-scale data across hundreds of millions of events per day
• Small, senior team with real ownership and visibility to leadership

• Position is remote within US
• Minimal travel
• Limited physical demands 

This is an incredible opportunity to embark on an exciting journey with a dynamic, VC-backed company.  If you have a proven track record of creative thinking, a drive for learning, and a deep commitment to collaboration, we want to talk to you!
