Description

We’re seeking a talented and motivated full-time Data Engineer to join our team. We’re looking for a individual who can own the Data and Analytics to power the rest of the company. The ability to think on one’s feet, enjoy collaborating with highly technical teams, and be comfortable working asynchronously is essential.

Responsibilities and Duties:

Develop pipelines to extract valuable insights from the seething formless mass of data.
Guide evolution of the product and the service by normalizing data about the operation of the service to allow analysis of how people do and do not make use of the service.
Assist in the study of user acquisition and activation by developing data strategies to provide these insights.
Isolate and refine network connectivity reports from client software, and prepare it to systematically improve the ability of the Tailscale Network Engine to handle unusual network conditions.
Add metrics to the underlying systems and code to get better visibility.

Qualifications and Skills:

A great deal of experience as a Data Engineer working with analysts, which should include significant data warehousing, data integration, Extract/Transform/Load, or analytics pipelines.
Experience with manipulating structured and unstructured data. Especially unstructured. We like the structured stuff, don’t get us wrong, but the role requires one to be comfortable with messy data.
Knowledge of SQL including schema design, query optimization, and migration of data to new schemas over time.
Knowledge of widely used tools like Snowflake and logs processing pipelines.
Comfort owning this part of the service. We’ve got a good start but need someone who can take ownership and drive it forward.
Ability to give and process constructive feedback, as well as work independently.
Ability to communicate openly, supporting and championing innovation and inclusivity.
Flexibility to adjust to the dynamic nature of a startup.
