As a Data Engineer, you will design and build scalable analytics pipelines, manage data integrations, and optimize data architecture for large-scale projects.
Role DescriptionResponsibilities
Dropbox is looking for a Data Engineer to join our Analytics Data Engineering (ADE) team within Data Science & AI Platform. In this role you will build large, scalable analytics pipelines using modern data technologies. This is not a “maintain existing platform” or “make minor tweaks to current code base” kind of role. We are effectively building from the ground up and plan to leverage the most recent Big Data technologies. If you enjoy building new things without being constrained by technical debt, this is the job for you!
Our Engineering Career Framework is viewable by anyone outside the company and describes what’s expected for our engineers at each of our career levels. Check out our blog post on this topic and more here.
- Define company data assets (data model), Spark, SparkSQL jobs to populate data models
- Define and design data integrations, data quality frameworks and design and evaluate open source/vendor tools for data lineage
- Work closely with Dropbox business units and engineering teams to develop strategy for long term Data Platform architecture to be efficient, reliable and scalable
- Conceptualize and own the data architecture for multiple large-scale projects, while evaluating design and operational cost-benefit tradeoffs within systems
- Collaborate with engineers, product managers, and data scientists to understand data needs, representing key data insights in a meaningful way
- Design, build, and launch collections of sophisticated data models and visualizations that support multiple use cases across different products or domains
- Optimize pipelines, dashboards, frameworks, and systems to facilitate easier development of data artifacts
On-call work may be necessary occasionally to help address bugs, outages, or other operational issues, with the goal of maintaining a stable and high-quality experience for our customers.
