The Data Infrastructure Team manages the fundamental building blocks used by customer-facing and internal analytics systems at Squarespace to store and process data. Your job will be to develop solutions that help scale our message queue and streaming infrastructure used by product engineers. We employ a variety of open source technologies in our tech stack that address a variety of needs (caching, databases, queues, and change data capture). We are making a push to grow our infrastructure in the cloud and you will play a critical role in that.

This is a hybrid role working from our NYC office 3 days per week. You will report to the Senior Software Engineering Manager.

You’ll Get To…

• Support our data infrastructure comprised of Kafka, Airflow, RabbitMQ, Trino, and GCP equivalent alternatives (PubSub, CloudComposer, CloudAMQP). Work with our users to determine capacity and functionality requirements, develop monitoring tools, and maintain reliable operations.
• Partner with our databases teams to understand the optimal configuration for applications that use both stateful and stateless services. Collaborate on data migration tooling, change data capture analytics pipelines, and streaming solutions for realtime feeds.
• In the short-term we’re focused on migrating our infrastructure to the cloud using GCP but in the longer term there is so much opportunity to improve our current infrastructure to use the many alternatives that exist in the marketplace for message queues, orchestration, streaming, and cdc.

Who We’re Looking For

• First and foremost we are looking for the desire to assume responsibility of pieces of infrastructure and define strategies to move us forward. We are looking for engineers who take pride and satisfaction in creating rock solid systems.
• Experience relevant to Kafka, Airflow, and GCP. Expertise developing backend services and ETL streaming and message processing using compiled languages.
• 5+ years of experience writing automation scripts and libraries in the Data world.
