Are you a talented and driven platform engineer, with a proven track record, capable of leading cross-organizational features? Can you wrangle a CTE with DBT and ELT like you would a BLT? (that last one is a sandwich) Does tech debt quiver in its boots at the sound of your name? Do you butter your bread with evented systems? Have the letters C, Q, R, and S been ruined for you in an eventually consistent manner? If so, we’ve got news for you: you’re not alone!
We are building a best-in-class Data practice and looking for a Data Platform Engineer to join our Platform Engineering org, and partner with our Data Science, and broader engineering teams. Our work is broad and varied, collecting data on how our product works (e.g. user needs, product friction, product adoption across multiple user personas), understanding how our business works (helping provide the platform that forecasts key outcomes, builds strategic KPIs), empowering our go-to-market motions (designing growth experiments, optimizing marketing investments, refining sales processes, and estimating causal effects), and everything in between. While we have built out a solid data lake/warehouse, our next step is to leverage this data and drive high impact by enabling the right strategic decisions for our product, business and users.
You'll get the chance to hone your skills alongside some of the best Platform Engineers (think SRE meets Ops with a heavy focus on automation of everything). Your teammates are talented folks who value code that is 80% of the value for 20% of the work, designs that are forward-thinking enough to be easily flexible for the next features, and leadership with a healthy dose of mindfulness and humility.
Data at Apollo will be challenging. First, any type of user may be engaged across a wide surface area of products, spanning their CLI, code editors, as well as Apollo’s logged-in experience, integration points, collaboration workflows, and more. Second, the notion of success changes over time for our users, spanning from creating a rich local development experience, to building a proof-of-concept, to scaling their supergraph across the entire organization, utilizing Apollo Router in production use cases and ensuring performance and reliability across thousands of services. Third, when organizations adopt GraphOS, it often leads to a fundamental reshaping of how teams work together, and we believe there are ways to help customers be 10x more effective in this transformation.
