Senior Data Engineer

Senior Data Software EngineerMytra is looking for a Senior Data Software Engineer to build the data platform that the rest of our software reads from.Every robot and station puts out about 2 MB/s of telemetry and uploads a 60 MB recording every couple of minutes, roughly 6 to 8 GB per edge component per hour. We're designing for 10,000+ storage cells a site, across many sites. Our control plane records every job, fault, and operator action. We require a system that unifies, aggregates, and transforms this data; as well as unlocking the power of our data for downstream insights.This includes the services that pull data off the wire, the stores it lands in, the ID keying that lets you join across sources, and the pipeline machinery that turns raw capture into the tables products and agents read. Your services will run inside customer facilities, cloud facilities, be durable for multi-day network outages, and enforces each customer's rules for data egress. As much of the services are not built, you will also have the opportunity to architect your solution from the group up.What You'll Do:Design the data capture lanes, storage tiers, and pipeline layoutRe-design the ingestion service with something that scalesBuild the transform machinery. You own the engine and what it guarantees; the team writes the transforms that run on it.Build the durable path for what the system does and has to rememberBuild the ID keying and crosswalk tables that connect a stored fact to its site, robot, hardware revision, calibration, layout, and palletOwn retention, cost, and egress as policy instead of plumbing. Retention policies per record and the site-to-cloud replication path.Run what you build. These services run in our cloud and inside customer sites, so you own their CI/CD, monitoring, and alerting.Ideal Candidates5+ years building and running production backend or data infrastructureYou've written production code in Go, Python, Rust, Java or C++You've worked with a durable message or streaming system (NATS/JetStream, Kafka, Pulsar, or similar) and know how delivery guarantees, backpressure, and replay actually behaveYou've used a columnar store, relational databases, and No-SQL databases in production and you have a strong understanding of how trade offs work in these technologies when used in data solutionsYou've shipped services and kept them running: CI/CD, monitoring, alerting, and being on the hook when they breakYou've designed schemas or data contracts that had to survive changeBS/MS in Computer Science, or the equivalent from having done the workYou've built and run data services yourself; whether ingestion, CDC, or event pipelines, rather than writing jobs on top of someone else's platformYou know how columnar stores like ClickHouse and object-storage lakes like Parquet or Iceberg work, and have opinions about which belongs where. Schema governance, failure modes, and cost are design inputs for you, not afterthoughts.Uncertainty isn't scary, and you're willing to realize mistakes and pivotYou can convey complex ideas and technical concepts to a diverse audienceOpenness, inquisitiveness, and constant ambition are important valuesYou enjoy collaborative working and taking time to help othersYou seek and value ownership, accountability, and taking on responsibilityBenefits Include:Competitive compensation and equity grants at a high-growth company backed by top-tier VCsFully subsidized health coverage, including medical (baseline plans), dental, and vision for employees and dependents401(k) plans and employer-subsidized life insuranceFully subsidized lunch and snacks at HQ—we eat and share stories together at the "long" tableGenerous PTO and company-paid holidays, including one week over the winter break so everyone can recharge togetherVoluntary pet insurance, Voluntary Life Insurance, Accident, Critical Illness, and Hospital IndemnityFully subsidized tax advisory services and education to help you understand your equityCommuter benefits, including a up to $150 monthly commuter benefitLively, modern combined office and lab space where we rapidly iterate through design, build, and test phasesFully equipped onsite gym and showers at headquartersPay NoticeCompensation for this position will be set based on the candidate's experience level and location.
