  • EEOC & Accommodations Statement: Bring yourself.
  • Pluralsight is an equal opportunity employer.

Responsibilities

  • Own the architecture of Platform Analytics and the key technical decisions while preserving the consistency guarantee and meeting its latency and freshness targets.
  • Design, build, and operate the data pipelines and serving layers hands-on: event ingestion and entity/reference ingestion into Snowflake, dbt-governed metric definitions, and a high-performance OLAP serving layer behind a single Analytics API.
  • Own production performance, reliability, and cost - performance tuning, monitoring and alerting, and resource management - for a customer-facing system.
  • Build and operate the traditional data-engineering ELT the product depends on to the same standard as the platform-analytics path.
  • Set the technical bar for the team - code quality, design standards, and ways of working - and mentor senior and mid-level engineers, raising the team's ability to make and hold sound technical decisions.
  • Partner with the Product Manager and stakeholders to sequence the architecture work ahead of the dependent product roadmap, and communicate technical direction and trade-offs to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Experience building customer-facing analytics products where metric consistency across UI and API is a hard requirement.
  • Experience taking a system from a launch/MVP design through to a scaled production architecture.
  • We work in a blended environment that supports collaboration, flexibility, and connection across teams.

Requirements

  • Requires a minimum of 12 years of related or equivalent experience
  • or 8+ years and an advanced degree.
  • Experience with streaming and real-time data processing (e.g., Kafka) and with change-data-capture (CDC) ingestion for entity/reference data.
  • Experience designing and operating a high-performance OLAP serving layer for customer- or product-facing analytics (e.g., ClickHouse), or strong transferable equivalent.
  • Experience with dimensional data modeling and with source control, testing, and deployment workflows for ELT (e.g., dbt, git-based CI/CD).
  • Experience with workflow orchestration tools (e.g., Apache Airflow) for scheduling, dependency management, and monitoring of production data pipelines.
  • Applications must be submitted within 90 days after the initial posting date to be considered.
