Senior Data Engineer

at  Starship Technologies

Starship Technologies is revolutionizing deliveries with autonomous robots. These robots are designed to deliver food, groceries, and packages across college campuses and neighborhoods in minutes. Starship has now completed millions of autonomous deliveries to date, traveled millions of miles, and is currently doing more than 140k road crossings each day. Our contribution to society includes reducing congestion, and pollution, providing zero-emissions deliveries, increasing the quality of life for residents, empowering seniors and disabled people, and enabling affordable delivery for local businesses.
We’re hitting records on an almost weekly basis. Now is an exciting time to join as we grow rapidly around the world!
We are looking for a Senior Data Engineer to join our Data team and play an essential part in our mission to provide the world with affordable and environment-friendly deliveries.
As a Senior Data Engineer, you’ll split your focus between building, governance, and optimization. You’ll oversee our data infrastructure and tooling exposed to data and engineering teams, emphasizing the creation of automated, configuration-based solutions. Additionally, you’ll optimize data handling cost-effectively as data volumes grow and design end-to-end pipelines that ensure data integrity and visibility, preventing accidental errors.
This role offers a unique opportunity to significantly impact how we manage and enhance our data systems.

• Developing solutions for data integration and tooling, such as data imports, job orchestration, development environments, and monitoring
• Guiding architectural decisions to ensure robustness, cost-effectiveness, and strong observability of the data platform
• Performance tuning for both existing and new workloads
• Maintaining the health of our data platform (Databricks on AWS, with some applications running on Kubernetes) and addressing issues as they arise
