Your Role at MediaLab

Data and server-side components play a crucial role at MediaLab. Our applications generate multiple terabytes of event data and information each day. This data is handled by a server-side SDK.

Our Data team maintains the server-side code and builds the tools and infrastructure to manage this vast amount of information. The team is responsible for the entire end-to-end pipeline—from ingesting data, to storing it in databases, to processing and analyzing it.

We’re looking for a self-starter to join our growing team and help build the next generation of big data solutions!
What You’ll Do
  • Design, implement, and maintain data pipelines for extracting, transforming, and loading data from a wide variety of sources into various data services
  • Maintain and improve current server-side scripts, libraries, APIs, and SDKs
  • Identify, design, and implement system performance enhancements and internal process improvements
  • Automate manual processes and optimize data delivery
  • Build robust and scalable software
  • What We’re Searching For
  • 3–4 years of experience in a software engineering environment
  • Knowledge of Hadoop, Spark, Kafka, or other equivalent technologies
  • Proficiency in at least one of the following languages: Scala, Java, Python, or Golang
  • Experience with automated testing systems
  • Knowledge of data modeling, data warehousing, ETL processes, and business intelligence reporting tools
  • Experience working with CI/CD, containerization, and virtualization tools such as Kubernetes and Docker
  • Development experience with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) infrastructure and technologies, as well as Data Lakes, is an asset
  • Natural curiosity and a demonstrated pattern of exploring multiple approaches to find the most efficient, scalable solution to solve problems
  • A passion for Big Data and a strong interest in staying up to date on the latest trends and technologies, constantly researching new tools and data innovations
