What you’ll do

1. Manage data pipelines. With so many users, it is easy to let our core data slip into a bowl of spaghetti. Our data engineers ensure the entire company works with clean, readable, consistent data.

2. Build tailored data products. Tajir’s operations emit tons of data. Our data engineers help us weaponize this data through dashboards and reports that drive operational efficiency and an improved customer experience.

3. Enable data-driven decisions. If it takes a week to answer a data question, people will make poor decisions using instinct and superstitions. Your job is to ensure this does not happen by facilitating rapid answers to all data queries.

What we are looking for

• You are humble. You treat others with the same kindness, patience, and respect, regardless of seniority, class, or gender.
• You have an extreme attention to detail. No imperfection escapes your discerning eyes.
• You care deeply about writing beautiful code. You are tired of working on teams with spaghetti code.
• You are excited at the chance to meet our customers, to learn from them and help us decide what to build next.

Requirements

• 1 or more years of full-time experience where writing SQL is >75% of your job.
• Elite SQL querying skills. You are a master of complex joins, CTEs, LIMIT, OFFSET, GROUP BY, HAVING, and more.
• Experience with non-querying parts of SQL such as DDL, procedures, and indexes.
• Understanding of the pros and cons of relational databases (e.g. Postgres) vs columnar databases (e.g. BigQuery).

(Very, very) Nice to have

• You have built something cool outside of university or professional life. Without exception, we have hired every engineer who has shown us an impressive personal project.
• You have made a substantial contribution to open source code.
• You have interviewed one of our customers in person.
