Data Engineer

Full-Time Data Engineer Role (with a side of Kubernetes Ops)

Dev Team OverviewScientist.com is a growing services marketplace which helps Scientists the world-over find, initiate, and track service requests. We're at many of the largest pharmaceutical and biotech institutions in the world. We enable the outsourced workflows which increase efficiencies and facilitate compliance. And we're growing.
The core of the Scientist system is a mature and monolithic Ruby on Rails application. We have successfully migrated to Kubernetes on AWS and we run over 400 pods! Everyone on the dev team is empowered to deliver new software daily.
Job Description & ResponsibilitiesThis is where you come in, the web application is in great shape but we need to answer more business questions. We want to provide data and tools to our finance and business analysts based on events from the application. The first big project would be maintaining an ETL pipeline for loading data into AWS S3 and supporting our internal customers with Tableau.
You would be collaborating with experienced application owners who know the datas ins and outs, you would not be learning the system in a vacuum. That won't be the end of it, we'd also like to support more developer friendly tools like Jupyter.
You'd also be supporting the Kubernetes cluster, helping to track system health, improving our CI/CD system, internal metrics and logging, performing cluster upgrades, and doing a variety of security ops. If you like Rust, this also a great job for you.
