Data Platform Engineer



Zenly was created because we wanted an easy way to know what our friends were doing. Naturally we created an app - a map that lets you see your friends and what they’re up to.
Millions of people around the world have since made us realize that Zenly goes beyond letting you know what your friends are doing. It actually brings you to spend more time with the people who matter most and moves you a little closer to them even when you can’t.
We’re a small team of <60 passionate people determined to offer an alternative to products that were meant to connect us but only alienated us. An alternative that represents a true reflection of your world and those you care most about.

What's the role about?
One of Zenly’s backend key components is our Data Platform which allows us to:
- Support an analytics bus which handles versioning, processing, anonymising and storing data on our data lake

Our current stack is made of the following technologies: gRPC / Protobuf /  Go / Kafka / Scala / Parquet / GCS / BigQuery / Spark / Airflow / Amplitude.
We’re looking for a Senior Engineer to take the responsibility of the current Data Platform and build a team whose sole purpose will be to support our growth and achieve drastic performance improvements to our soft real time capabilities.
As a Data Platform Engineer you will take ownership of the existing assets and will work closely with the people who built them. You will have to act as a local product manager, a team leader and an architect on that perimeter but also a strong individual contributor who will assess / implement a significant part of the work to be done.
Your core challenge will be to handle x4 our current load in a year, x20 in two years.

What you'll do as a Data Platform Engineer:

Assess the platform / tech stack which will support our future scale (Apache Beam / DataFlow for ex.)
Scala/Spark migration of the whole analytics data ingestion pipeline
Work on performance improvements on historical data computations, currently in days/weeks which should be achieved in hours
Introduce Spark ML in soft real time for several features

What type of experience matters for the job:

You have a track record of mastering data ingestion / data processing techniques
You have a broad knowledge of the industry practices.
You’re a continuous learner, you aim at building the most powerful data pipelines in the industry and already have extensive experience regarding the challenges of processing petabytes of data (production scars included).

ð§What to expect:

Have direct impact, in days, on the company growth
Be part of a company with ethics, work alongside smart people
Build a product that brings people closer to their friends and family
