The Data Infrastructure Team manages the fundamental building blocks used by analytical systems at Squarespace to store and process data. Our job will be to reforge the many different data systems into an automated set of workflows that allow our partner teams to excel. We develop traditional data warehouses and distributed NoSQL systems. We use both on-premise and cloud tools to achieve our goals. You will report into the Engineering Manager.
All Squarespace employees are working remotely at this time. We are closely monitoring the status of COVID-19 as we continue our work to build a return-to-work plan that ensures a safe return to our offices and provides flexibility for our employees.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Support our Hadoop clusters. Work with our users to determine capacity and functionality requirements, develop monitoring tools, and maintain reliable operations. Improve and normalize DE and Census clusters. Add cloud capacity and transfer select datasets and processes to GCP.
- Support the Postgres Data Warehouse. OLAP systems do not fit into our cookie cutter Postgres instances. We need to evaluate capacity requirements, make sure we are meeting them in the short and medium term, and come up with a long-term architecture for our data warehouse.
- Develop reliable data access infrastructure. In the short-term - tune our Hive/Presto clusters to accommodate both ad-hoc exploratory queries and systematic ETL processing. In the medium and long term - develop the next generation of abstractions to shield the users from the implementation details of the storage solutions.
- Support ETL Processing. Enhance our k8s Airflow operator.
- Last but not least - work with Product teams on one side and Data Engineering and Data Science teams on the other side to provide support.
