About the Team VIZIO is looking for a Senior Data Engineer. We're live and breath big data. On a daily basis, we ingest and extract useful information from hundreds of live TV channel as well as collect, analyze and report on information from millions of TVs. We're all in with AWS and make extensive use of many of their services. On any given day we are running between 2000-2500 instances with a stack and application set that includes Ubuntu, C, Python, Go, Kinesis, RDS, Redshift and Stackdriver. We are currently using data structures, processing and reporting approaches that got us this far but we're almost positive are in need of a rethink and redesign. Our current approach involves large AWS Redshift clusters, numerous ETL processes with business logic in those ETLs as well as very complicated and lengthy SQL queries to produce reports that are run hourly and which often contain largely redundant data. What You Will Do Initially you would assume operational ownership of our current databases and clusters (we have a long-standing relationship with an organization that provides us with support.) As part of this you will be doing a deep dive into all things data-related including but not limited to: how data is structured, how if flows through the system, how it is accessed, how we currently manage our databases and data stores as well as their overall status and health. You would support the architecture, creation and operation of the next generation data infrastructure. About You
- You've implemented and operated data pipeline infrastructure at scale. You've run NoSQL at scale.
- You understand data stores.
- You have experience with data pipelines and using modern streaming and batch data processing frameworks and tools such as Kafka, Spark, Storm and/or EMR.
- You have operational experience with Redshift. You understand all too well that not every problem is a nail and not every solution involves a hammer and have the experience and expertise to determine, select and use the right tool for the right job.
- You are a performance and optimization nerd.
- You are a self-starter and enjoy digging into the details.
- You are a problem solver and have ideas while collaborating well with others.
