  • Improving and maintaining our data warehouse (AWS Redshift).
  • Build data models with dbt to be used by Analysts on business reports.
  • Interacting with Engineering and Business teams to understand requirements.

We are very open-minded and happy to experiment new technologies to achieve our goals and we try to continuously challenge our choices on that topic. You will have the opportunity to make some decisions going in that direction.

  • Experience in Python. 
  • Experience in Spark or/and SQL.
  • Basic knowledge of GIT and CI/CD pipeline.
  • Interest in Big Data challenges (500GB and 750.000 files of new raw data every day).
  • Interest in understanding the data and business requirements.
  • Interest in working in an Agile environment.
  • Humble, curious, proactive and demonstrates a balance between creativity, scrappy and pragmatism.

  • Experience in airflow.
  • Familiar with data warehouse and data modelling.

WE’RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO CAN LIVE OUR VALUES:

  • HUMILITY - Aptitude for learning from others, putting ego aside.

 

 

REMOTE STRATEGY:

Algolia’s workplace strategy, Hybrid Remote, is designed to harness the power of the opportunities that remote work offers both employees and the company, while also providing an engaging in-office experience for the times when an employee is in an office. Our workplace approach reflects the belief that an employee’s impact, contribution, and output are more important than their physical location.

The majority of employees will be able to choose if, and when, they come into an office on a regular basis. There will be times when our people are asked to come into an office for “moments that matter:” activities like critical planning meetings and team social gatherings.  Beyond those events, 80% of our workforce may choose the location from where they work in the country in which they were hired.

We have physical offices in San Francisco, NYC, Atlanta, Paris, London, Austin, and Bucharest. https://www.algolia.com/about/
