How You Can Help Make a Better World of Work

We are looking for a Senior Data Engineer to join our Data Platform team. We sit within the Data Intelligence Camp, where we leverage platform and data engineering to build the infrastructure and processes that power the analytics, ML engineering, and data science practices of Culture Amp.

Responsibilities

• Be a technical escalation point across a wide range of technologies for less experienced team members and in cross-team collaboration.
• Design and implement core functionality of the Data Platform across our Redshift Warehouse and Data Lake.
• Ensure our data platform is robust, reliable, cost-effective, and protects the privacy and security of our users’ data.
• Identify opportunities to improve the experience of Analysts, Data Scientists, and ML engineers using the platform.

Requirements

• Experience with cloud data warehouses such as Redshift.
• Proven experience in modern data management practices and tools, across ETL/ELT, data quality, governance, and monitoring.
• Experience with CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code such as CDK or Terraform, ideally within AWS cloud.
• Experience with data offerings in the AWS cloud, such as Redshift, Glue, EMR, Kafka, and MWAA.
• Solid software development fundamentals, ideally with exposure to Python, TypeScript, and experience with SQL.

You Are

• A driver of technical excellence in a team environment. You’re an expert in your domain and are able to develop the expertise and knowledge of those around you.
• Someone who loves collaboration - our teams are cross-functional and you’ll be working with other engineers, team leads, and product managers to deliver great outcomes together.
• Keenly interested in understanding and solving customer problems. You think about how your work impacts our customers and improves their experience.
• A pragmatic engineer. You ask and understand what we're optimizing for before jumping into solutions, and can comfortably balance long-term objectives with short-term tradeoffs.
• Self-motivated and able to work independently, comfortable dealing with ambiguity when necessary.

Benefits

We believe that our employees are the heartbeat of our success. We're committed to fostering a work environment that truly cares for and develops its people, and creates lasting positive impact. In addition to providing a competitive compensation package, some of the key benefits we offer are:

• Employee Share Options Program: We empower you to be an owner in Culture Amp and share in our success.
• Programs, coaching, and budgets to help you thrive personally and professionally.
• Access to external providers for mental wellbeing and coaching support to sustain the wellbeing, safety, and development of our people.
• Monthly Camper Life Allowance: An automatic allowance paid out each month with your pay - you can spend it however you like to help improve your experience and life outside work.
• Team budgets dedicated to team building activities and connection.
• Intentional quarterly wellbeing pauses: A quarterly company-wide shutdown day in each region to collectively pause, reset, and focus on restoration and rest, without having to tap into individual vacation time.
• Extended year-end breaks: An extended refresh period at the end of year.
• Excellent parental leave and in-work support program available from day 1 of joining Culture Amp.
• 5 Social Impact Days a year to make a positive impact on the community outside of work.
• MacBooks for you to do your best & a work from home office budget to spend on setting up your home office.
• Medical insurance coverage for you and your family (Available for US & UK only).

Additionally, we don't just focus on our internal community; we believe in creating a better world of work for all. We're committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, with Employee Resource Groups and ally communities in place.

We have a strong commitment to Anti-Racism, and endeavor to lead by example. Every step we make as a business towards anti-racism is another step we can take to support our customers in making a better world (of work).
