**Company description**

Zetico is a digital consultancy on a mission to accelerate innovation and build sustainable software, for the long-term. We believe in developing software products that matter and have a significant impact. 

This time, we have partnered with a leading market intelligence platform from New York - CB Insights - and are looking for an experienced data engineer to join our team. 

**Job description**

As a data engineer working with CB Insights, you will be a core part of a strong team, building data pipelines and robust infrastructure enabling effective data processing at scale. 

You will build products that use natural language processing and machine learning models and make them run efficiently with large amounts of data to enable a smooth experience for their clients and in-house intelligence units. 

We’re looking for engineers that through hard-won practical experience know how to build maintainable and testable data pipeline processes and infrastructure. We are looking for engineers that love solving problems and are willing to take on hard ones.

**Responsibilities**

- Engineer efficient, adaptable, and scalable data pipelines that power our data products 
- Design and build efficient ETL and ML infrastructures for unstructured textual data sets and various other types of data sources 
- Take a prototype of a data product built with NLP and/or machine learning models and make it run reliably in production.
- Monitor and maintain existing data products running in production including identifying when models need to be retrained
- Design and implement internal tools to make this data processing infrastructure easily accessible to and usable by other software developers
- Develop clean solutions that are well-engineered, maintainable, tested and delivered on time.
- Participate in code reviews and sprint planning, help to identify problems and share knowledge with your colleagues.

**Examples of tasks you’ll be dealing with**

- Turn an ML pipeline created by the data scientist into a production-ready pipeline. Our DevOps provide the template that all pipelines need to conform to, this makes it easier to dockerize and monitor jobs. The side effect of this would be suggestions to improve the templates
- Code reviews: our data scientists are strong Python coders, however, we are always looking for ways to do things better. The engineer would become an integral part of our code review process and raise code and architecture quality
- Get data from external vendor API and figure out how to persist it on our side to make it easy to use for everyone else
- Find the memory leak in a production job

**Required skills & experience**

- 3+ years professional software/data engineering experience using Python, SQL and, ideally, at least 1 statically typed language (Go, Java, Scala)
- Knowledgeable about data modeling, data storage techniques, data warehousing and general data architecture
