Beyond is passionate about diversity and cultivating our team’s potential. If you’re hungry for a good opportunity, but don't meet every point in this job description, please apply anyway!

Our Engineering team believes in:

• Reducing scope - The best way to control progress and test hypotheses is to prevent scope creep;
• Shipping early - The best way to learn early is to ship early. No need to be perfect;
• Iterating and improving - Once we get the feedback we need, we iterate and improve;
• Taking ownership - The code we ship is our responsibility as we know it best, and we also take care of sharing knowledge so others can support it;
• Driving revenue - By focusing on providing the best customer experience, we improve acquisition and retention and drive growth for our customers and for us.

As our Senior Data Engineer, you will be responsible for:

• Collaborating with your peers from product, design, and engineering, and in particular fellow Data Scientists, on a cross-functional, outcome-based team to craft and deliver on OKRs
• Helping drive your team through large projects autonomously, while continuously assessing and communicating progress and iterating on solutions.
• Collaborating and recommending architectural solutions, while understanding and explaining trade-offs around time to market, structural and functional quality, security, maintainability, resources, and scope.
• Supporting and maintaining the existing code baseline and products.
• Exercising and improving Beyond’s engineering practices such as refactoring, pairing, code reviews, collective code ownership, containers, IaC, CI/CD, observability.
• Working with Beyond’s tech stack that includes: Python, Spark, Airflow, Delta Lake, Dagster, Mode, Kafka, Postgres, Clickhouse & Great Expectations

So what kind of person are we looking for in this role? The person who will be successful in this role will be:

• Curious - You are driven to understand how things work or why they don't. You are interested in finding out how your work impacts our customers and the world they live in.
• Collaborative - You enjoy exploring and committing as a team, you welcome others' ideas, and you value teamwork and team decision-making over being right and having things going your way.
• Result-oriented - You manage the trade-offs between speed and quality and are able to find the right balance. You would rather ship, measure, learn and iterate, rather than code the perfect component on the first try.
• Resilient - You can adapt and roll up your sleeves to help others. You operate at a stable pace with visibility most of the time and you are ready to embrace change when it happens.
• Proactive - You take initiative to identify opportunities and drive projects forward with minimal direction, independently navigating ambiguity to deliver impactful results.

Now that we’ve told you what the job looks like, here are the qualifications we're looking for in a candidate:

• 5+ years of experience building and operating data services in a multi-tenant SaaS environment
• Deep expertise designing, implementing, and maintaining large-scale data pipelines using Apache Airflow, Delta Lake, or similar orchestration/data lakes/warehouse technologies
• Strong proficiency in Python, Java or Scala
• Strong proficiency in Spark
• Excellent SQL skills and hands-on experience with PostgreSQL (or equivalent relational databases)
• Experience implementing data observability and quality frameworks such as Great Expectations to ensure pipeline reliability and catch anomalies early
• Demonstrated ability to take high-level analytics or data-science requirements and productionize them into reliable, performant code
• Track record of optimizing model implementations and data workflows to meet performance and cost-efficiency targets
• A predisposition for a fast-paced environment where we put an emphasis on delivering value for our customers, while learning, growing, and experimenting
• General experience working with large scale data sets
