Description
At Scribd (pronounced “scribbed”), our mission is to spark human curiosity. Join our team as we create a world of stories and knowledge, democratize the exchange of ideas and information, and empower collective expertise through our three products: Everand, Scribd, and Slideshare. 

We support a culture where our employees can be real and be bold; where we debate and commit as we embrace plot twists; and where every employee is empowered to take action as we prioritize the customer.

Our flexible work benefit - Scribd Flex - enables employees, in partnership with their manager, to choose the daily work-style that best suits their individual needs. As an organization, we prioritize collaboration and intentional in-person moments to build culture and connection. For this reason, occasional in-person attendance is required for all Scribd employees, regardless of their location.

What You'll Do:
As a pivotal member of the team, you will lead the design and development of a robust data architecture that guides data modeling, integration, processing, and delivery standards enabling modern data product development at Scribd.

You will also serve as a data and analytics solution architect, leading architecture initiatives encompassing data warehousing, data pipeline development, data integrations, and data modeling. You will shape Scribd’s data strategy, guiding stakeholders in how they consume and act on data.

We’re looking for someone with proven proficiency in architecting, designing and development experience with batch and real time streaming infrastructure and workloads. Your expertise will help establish standards for data modeling, integration, processing, and delivery and also help translate business requirements into technical specifications.

At Scribd, we leverage deep data insights to inform every aspect of our business, from product development, experimentation, to understanding our subscriber engagement and tracking key performance indicators. You'll join a data engineering team tackling complex challenges within a rich domain encompassing three distinct brands – Scribd, Everand, and Slideshare – all serving a massive user base with over 200 million monthly visitors and 2 million paying subscribers. You'll have the opportunity to make a real impact as we are heavily investing in improving our core data layer and this exciting new role puts you right at the forefront of this initiative.

Based on the project, this might involve cross-functional work with the Data Science, Analytics, and other Engineering and Business teams to design cohesive data models, database schemas and data storage solutions, consumption strategies and patterns. Almost everything you will be working on will be to increase the "customer satisfaction" for internal customers of Scribd data.

• Proficient with at least one dialect of SQL.
• Hands-on experience in Scala or Python.

Desired Skills:
• Experience and working knowledge of streaming platforms, typically based around Kafka.
• Strong grasp of AWS data platform services and their strengths/weaknesses.
• Hands on experience in implementing data pipelines for data ingestion and transformation to support analytics and ML pipelines
• Strong experience communicating asynchronously using collaboration tools like Jira, Slack, etc.
• Experience using automation and CI/CD tooling like Git, GitHub,Docker,Jenkins, Terraform, etc.
• Experience developing standards for database design and implementation of various strategic data architecture initiatives around data quality, data management policies/standards, data governance, privacy and metadata management

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
  • Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
  • The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
  • Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
  • We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
  • We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
  • From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
  • We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
  • If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
  • EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
