Senior Data Engineer, Backend High-Availability Systems

You’ll join our User Intelligence Platform (UIP) team reporting to our Sr. Director of Data Science Engineering. This team is responsible for a system that plays a key role in the big machine learning pipeline of NextRoll’s core product. Our system efficiently ingests and processes trillions of events daily to produce defined features for users in near real-time that feeds our pricing engine, ensuring that it stays fresh and accurate for the dynamic online ads marketplace. Our system uses complex in-house developed technologies and serialization formats to be able to crunch these trillions of events as they’re coming into our data pipelines. If you love low-level coding, high scalability, and high availability systems, this is the team for you!

NextRoll engineers are afforded significant autonomy. We take ownership of our systems, and design and improve them as we see fit. We proactively propose new improvements and changes that benefit and impact multiple systems across engineering teams, always taking into account that systems must be reliable and work at a large scale.

This role is open in our San Francisco, New York City, Salt Lake City offices, or Remote.
