We are looking for a Junior Data Engineer to join our growing Data Engineering team. Data is at the core of our company and this is an opportunity for you to work on shaping and building our data platform. This year we have key capabilities which will be released such as data intensive services and real-time dashboards based on our data lake and our data gateway, in addition to complex infrastructure upgrades. You will be involved in the design and construction of new data capabilities from the ground up. This is a unique opportunity to influence key architectural decisions at early stages. As well as building the data platform, you will work with data scientists to guide them through productionising data science workflows.

In this role, you will spend 70% of your time designing and writing software, 20% managing infrastructure, and 10% on ad hoc and support tasks. VIOOH encourages you to use 10% of your time per week to invest in your growth, both personal and professional. A financial budget is also provided for any courses, books, etc that you may need.

What you’ll be working on:

• Designing APIs around data-intensive services.
• Streaming pipelines and services to power near real-time reporting involving streaming joins.
• Building a high throughput service to push events to third parties.
• Managing key infrastructure such as Kafka, Aurora, DynamoDB, and owning the Data infrastructure.
• Key infrastructure migration and upgrades.
• Write software using Java / Python / Scala.

What we want from you:

You should have most of these:

• Ability to design services with knowledge of distributed systems.
• Experience building REST APIs.
• Good knowledge of streaming technologies, preferably Kafka, both as a user of the service and its inner workings.
• Experience managing AWS or GCP.
• Experience in building or integrating Monitoring Tools (Datadog / Kibana / Grafana / Prometheus).
• Write software using either Java / Scala / Python.

The following are nice to have, but not required:
