A day in the life of a Staff Data Engineer at Calendly

On a typical day, you will be working on: 

  • Designing and building net-new batch and streaming data pipelines that power analytics, product features, and customer-facing experiences as the company scales
  • Serving as the technical lead on the centralized Data Platform team, mentoring engineers, driving architectural best practices, and raising the bar for code and design reviews
  • Building for scale and reliability by ensuring robust monitoring, alerting, and self-healing systems—identifying issues before they affect users or the business
  • Working hands-on with our modern data stack: Apache Flink, Beam, Airflow, Kubernetes, Google Cloud Storage (GCS), BigQuery, and Datadog
  • Partnering closely with data consumers across product, engineering, and analytics to understand evolving needs and deliver scalable, reusable data solutions
  • Helping lay the technical foundations for a platform that can support increasing data volume, complexity, and business use cases
  • Contributing to a culture of ownership, quality, and continuous improvement, ensuring the Data Platform is a trusted, high-leverage layer for the company\

What do we need from you?

  • 5+ years of experience with streaming and messaging systems like Beam, Flink, Spark, Kafka, and/or Pub/Sub
  • 8+ years of experience with managing enterprise-grade cloud data warehouses (BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks, etc) using change-data-capture strategies (e.g. systems like Debezium) that are open-source and self-managed
  • Expertise in SQL, Python, and ideally Java
  • Experience mentoring high-potential data engineers and contributing to team culture and best practices
  • Availability for participation in an on-call rotation, ensuring prompt and effective responses to business-critical alerts outside of regular working hours.
