Senior Data Engineer
Hunter Web Services, Inc.
Job description
Hunter's Product team is hiring a Senior Data Engineer! You'll become the key team member responsible for our high-scale database of companies and B2B profiles.
In our mission to be the simplest outreach platform from sourcing to the first reply, we rely solely on the public Web. To make this happen, our crawler processes billions of pages per month. We need you to organize and leverage this data, by:
- Designing, building, and maintaining robust and scalable data pipelines
- Researching and implementing algorithmic solutions, in Go and Python
- Ensuring data quality, accuracy, and consistency over time
- Challenging and improving our current data infrastructure.
We love working as a small team and only hire occasionally. So, this is a rare and exciting opportunity to join the team. You'll be part of the Product team alongside Bastien (Head of engineering), Bernardo and Fayzan (Backend Go developers), Mark and Bart (Ruby on Rails developers), and Chris (Designer).
We’ve set up a great work environment for our team, focusing on autonomy and growth. We take full advantage of the fact we’re entirely remote by focusing primarily on async communication and limiting the number of meetings. Finally, you’ll get to participate in discussions shaping the future of the product.
About the role
At Hunter, we've been working from the start with one Go application (managing all our B2B profiles and companies data) and one Ruby on Rails application (responding to users' requests). Each application relies on its own PostgreSQL database, surrounded by Redis and Elasticsearch instances for cache and search purposes. This setup has allowed us to be highly productive while our team stays small.
As part of a small group within a fast-moving company, you will work on various projects over time, but you can expect that:
- At first, you’ll become familiar with our current processes to gather, analyze, and structure data from billions of web pages.
- Within a few weeks, you'll become responsible for significant projects that will improve Hunter data, at scale. It can be about implementing a new ML-based data pipeline, tuning the application's performance, or improving our Quality Assurance.
- You'll collaborate with the rest of the Product team to gradually improve our data pipelines.
- You’ll monitor and troubleshoot data pipelines, resolving any issues or bottlenecks that may arise.
- You'll get a high level of autonomy in your work and help shape future development efforts.
Hunter is a fully remote team, and this is a remote job. It is open to anyone located in Europe or US and Canada's East Coast.
About us
Salespeople, marketers, and recruiters use Hunter to reach out to the people that matter for their business. We index B2B data from millions of public web pages and make it convenient to explore with simple but powerful tools.
Hunter is the most popular platform for cold emailing outreach. It is used by more than 4 million people and leading companies such as Google, Adobe, Microsoft, or IBM.
Hunter was founded in 2015 and is a bootstrapped company. We're a team of 17 people working remotely from Europe, America, and Asia. Twice a year, the team meets in a company retreat in Europe.
