Staff Software Engineer building data infrastructure solutions at Zocdoc. Leading platform services and optimizing AWS resources for data management.
Responsibilities
Design and ship platform services for ingestion, transformation, orchestration, and metadata (e.g., service‑backed interfaces for Dagster/Airflow, lineage, quality, and data contracts).
Build execution & scheduling capabilities for Spark/SQL jobs (queuing, prioritization, retries, resource isolation on EMR/EKS/Databricks), focusing on throughput and developer experience.
Implement lakehouse features (Delta/Iceberg): schema evolution, partitioning, compaction, vacuum, snapshotting, ACID guarantees, and table‑format governance
Optimize Snowflake and other warehouses: cost controls, query profiling/pruning, workload isolation, RBAC; expose safe self‑service patterns.
Deliver SDKs, CLIs, and templates that standardize how teams build reliable data products; enable CI/CD for data and contract testing.
Work across AWS (S3, EMR/EKS, Glue/Athena, Lambda, Kinesis/MSK) with IaC (Terraform) and strong observability (Datadog/CloudWatch).
Requirements
8+ years building backend/platform software with Python/Scala/Java and strong SQL; proven track record designing distributed systems.
Deep experience with Spark (Databricks or EMR/EKS) and AWS data services; solid grasp of scheduler/executor behavior and performance tradeoffs.
Hands‑on data warehouse optimization (Snowflake ideal; others welcome).
Experience building platform APIs/SDKs that other engineers adopt; excellent collaboration and technical leadership.
