About the role: 

Here at OfferUp, data is at the core of our business, providing insights into the effectiveness of our products, and enabling technology that powers them. As the Software Development Engineer on the Data Engineering team, we build and operate OfferUp’s data platform for streaming and batch computation, for data analysis and BI, and to train ML models. If you’re passionate about building large scale distributed data processing systems, and you are motivated to make an impact in creating a robust and scalable data platform used by every team, come join us. You will be part of a team that builds the data ingestion, transport, storage, and orchestration layers. You will help shape the vision and architecture of OfferUp’s next generation data infrastructure, making it easy for developers to build data-driven products and features. 

Building the largest and most responsive, mobile marketplace poses unique data challenges that require leveraging the latest developments in data infrastructure. We leverage open source infrastructure where we can, but are ready to build and share solutions if they don’t exist yet. You will build an analytics platform working with cutting-edge technologies like Kafka, Beam, and Airflow. 

We regard culture and trust highly, and are looking forward to welcoming your contribution to the team!

Here’s more of what you will get to do:

  • Build and operate large scale data infrastructure in production
  • Design, implement and debug distributed data processing systems
  • Thinking through long-term impacts of key design decisions and handling failure scenarios
  • Building self-service platforms to power all other OfferUp applications
  • Design and develop applications to process large amounts of critical information in batch and near real-time to power user-facing features

  • All OfferUp employees are required to receive Covid-19 vaccinations unless an employee is in need of an exemption from this policy due to a medical reason, or because of a sincerely held religious belief.
  • 5+ years of professional software development experience
  • Experience in working with distributed systems for processing large scale data
  • Ability to communicate technical information effectively to technical and non-technical audiences
  • Proficiency in programming languages like Java, Scala or Python
  • Experience leveraging open source data infrastructure projects, such as Apache Spark, Beam, Airflow, Kafka, Flink, Samza, Avro, Parquet, Hadoop, Hive, HBase
  • Experience building data pipelines and near real-time streaming aggregates
  • Experience in building software in AWS, GCP,  or a similar cloud environment is highly desirable
  • Experience in building microservices using Kubernetes with synchronous and asynchronous APIs
  • Experience with Kafka and Apache Beam
  • Must be eligible to work in the United States
