About the role
- This is an exciting opportunity to help shape and be part of the growth of a fast-moving company with breakthrough technology and an incredible mission!
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and operate the streaming and batch pipelines that turn real-time telemetry from deployed energy-storage systems into reliable, well-modeled, query-ready datasets, spanning ingestion, transformation, storage in open table formats, and serving to downstream consumers.
- Take a lead role across the operational-telemetry data products, building on and extending the core streaming platform rather than reinventing it.
- Independently lead the design of novel data solutions, producing technical design docs and RFCs and driving them to alignment across the data, applications, and field-facing stakeholders they touch.
- Build and maintain data orchestration (Dagster, Prefect, or Airflow) for workflows that are reliable, observable, and testable.
- Stand up and manage the AWS infrastructure and infrastructure-as-code (Pulumi and/or Terraform) your pipelines run on.
- Partner with field operations, hardware/controls engineers, and analytics/application consumers to translate operational needs into trustworthy, well-documented data.
Requirements
- Hands-on experience with data transformation tools such as Apache Spark (PySpark and/or Scala) and dbt.
- Experience with open table formats such as Apache Iceberg or Delta Lake.
- Experience with streaming data systems, including Kafka and/or Kinesis.
- Experience with orchestration frameworks such as Dagster, Prefect, or Airflow.
Nice to have
