The Data Platform team is responsible for making Sift’s data accessible across a variety of users and use-cases. This team ensures the availability, correctness, and data privacy/ compliance of information critical for Sift’s day-to-day operations. Our customers include not just external clients but also Sift’s data science product teams, our sales, business support services and operations teams. We are super excited about our plans to build our next generation data analytics solution as we approach a phase where we start diving into reporting/visualization and real time accessibility to data across Sift.

What you’ll do:

As a Staff engineer on Sift’s Data Platform team, you will build data warehousing and business intelligence systems to empower our customers, engineers, data scientists and analysts to extract insights from our data. You will design and build Petabyte scale systems for high availability, high throughput, data consistency, security, and end user privacy, defining our next generation of data analytics tooling. You will do data modeling and ETL enhancements to improve efficiency and data quality. You’d enforce best practices on data governance to ensure compliance and data truncation/deletion responsibly. You’d also have the opportunity to work with console reporting frameworks and build accessible dashboards for both monitoring as well as reporting.
