Senior Software Engineer, Python (Data Platforms)

Team: Data Engineering

Location: United States

Commitment: Full-Time Employee

Workplace Type: remote

Salary:

Compensation details: The salary for this position is $145k - $215k annually, plus bonus and generous benefits. In determining your salary, we will consider your location, experience, and other job-related factors.

Your role in our mission

 
We need an Enterprise Python Expert to join our Data Engineering team. While you’ll work within our data ecosystem, your primary focus is high-quality Software Engineering: designing and building pipelines and services, improving system architecture, and writing clean, scalable code with our Google cloud eco-system (GCP).

How you’ll make an impact

  • Build and Design Services: Develop and stand up robust backend services and APIs that power our data platform.
  • Build for Scale: Transition us from simple scripts to production-grade software with logging, alerting, and automated testing.
  • Modernize Tooling: Evaluate and implement new frameworks that improve system reliability and developer velocity.
  • Collaborate: Partner with analysts, software engineers and infrastructure teams to ensure our data services are fast, secure, and easy to consume.
  • Demonstrate Python Excellence: Deliver high-quality code, conduct thorough code reviews, and guide peers in SDLC best practices.

Skills that will help you thrive

  • BS in EE/CS with 8+ years of experience or MS in EE/CS or other applicable disciplines with 6+ years of experience. 
  • Deep expertise in object-oriented Python within an enterprise environment. Experience in Java, C#, or Go is a major plus.
  • Software-First Mindset: You treat data infrastructure as a software product, not a series of one-off scripts or data pipelines.
  • Production DevOps: Proficiency with Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) within modern cloud providers.
  • Data Fluency: Strong SQL (e.g. BigQuery, PostgreSQL) and an understanding of how to build systems around data warehouses.
  • Modern Workflow: Proficient with LLM-assisted development (e.g. Cursor) to accelerate delivery while ensuring you can understand, explain and defend every line. 
  • Ownership: A track record of taking complex engineering problems from an “idea” or “concept” to "stable service."

Resources to help you Prosper

  • A connected experience: We prioritize high-touch collaboration and flexibility. Whether you are working from our San Francisco or Phoenix offices or joining us as a fully remote team member, we provide the digital-first tools and intentional culture to keep you synced and supported.
  • Invested in your future: A competitive salary and a 401(k) with a 5% company match to help you build long-term financial security.
  • Holistic well-being: We provide the resources you need to thrive, from flexible time off and paid parental leave to an annual wellness allowance and comprehensive health coverage.
  • Professional & personal growth: Take advantage of a suite of premium perks, including Udemy access, childcare assistance, pet insurance, and a bevy of additional savings through Beneplace.

Interview Process

  • Recruiter Call: A brief screening to discuss your experience and initial questions.
  • Department Interview: Deeper dive into technical skills and project alignment with the Hiring Manager or team member.
  • Take-Home Assignment: Analyze a real-world problem, propose solutions, and present findings, evaluating analytical, strategic thinking, and presentation skills.
  • Technical Interview: Deeper dive into coding skills.
  • Team Interview: Meet team members for collaborative discussions, problem-solving, or technical exercises.
