Description

  • Develop, maintain, and optimize scalable data pipelines, backend services, and APIs that power recommendations, content discovery, groups, and events.
  • Design and implement data models and schemas to support both analytical reporting and real-time recommendation systems.
  • Build, train, and operationalize personalization systems that leverage platform event and usage data to surface relevant content and communities.
  • Implement and maintain large-scale data processing jobs using big data technologies (e.g., Spark, Kafka) to ingest, transform, and serve high-volume datasets.
  • Collaborate with data scientists, product managers, and engineers to ensure correct data capture, feature availability, and alignment of ML-driven features with product goals.
  • Participate in the design and implementation of backend systems including REST and websocket APIs, caching layers, queueing systems, and cloud orchestration.
  • Contribute to evolving technical and product capabilities by moving solutions from simple heuristics to sophisticated, data-backed personalization approaches.
  • Respond to incidents and be available occasionally to troubleshoot and resolve production outages.

  • Experience with big data technologies such as Spark, Hadoop/Beam, or Kafka.
  • Experience operating at scale on cloud platforms such as AWS or Google Cloud.
  • Experience with multiple languages and technologies, for example Python, JavaScript/Node.js, MongoDB, and Redis; familiarity with Snowflake and FastAPI is a plus.
  • Experience with Elasticsearch, data warehousing, and machine learning systems or working closely with ML teams.
  • Agile, collaborative mindset with strong communication skills and ability to work effectively in a remote, cross-functional team.
  • Preferred: experience building or scaling content discovery or recommendation systems, working with social graphs or user-generated content, or prior involvement in consumer products, e-commerce, marketplaces, VR, or online communities.
