Staff Software Engineer - Curated Data

Salary

Core Qualifications

Preferred Qualifications

Key Responsibilities

• •Design and build the control plane for the curated data lifecycle, including dependency-aware orchestration, backfills, restatements, retries, partial-failure handling, and recovery mechanisms.
• •Own architectural decisions across datasets, determining when a problem is best addressed through a data model, service, or job.
• •Design and maintain clear contracts between data ingestion and curation layers so datasets can be understood and managed end to end.
• •Build reliable alerting, monitoring, and data-quality signals that identify genuine issues while minimising operational noise.
• •Work across Go, Kotlin, Rust, Python, and SQL, selecting technologies based on the requirements of each problem.
• •Develop software that orchestrates and manages thousands of interdependent data models and supports large-scale data operations.
• •Design systems capable of propagating schema changes and data corrections without unnecessarily disrupting downstream consumers.
• •Translate ambiguous product requirements into technical designs, execution sequences, and actionable work for the broader engineering team.
• •Personally implement the most technically challenging components while enabling other engineers to own and deliver complementary work.
• •Debug complex production issues independently and lead root-cause analysis through to durable fixes.
• •Contribute to technical architecture, engineering practices, and system design decisions across the curated data domain.
• •Collaborate effectively with a distributed engineering organisation through clear written communication and a strong async-working approach.
• •Use AI-assisted development tools thoughtfully to increase engineering productivity while validating outputs and maintaining high standards for correctness and quality.
