DESCRIPTION

The Tech360 Data Platform team's vision is to help customers handle the full life cycle of data at all levels of granularity, simplify data collection, integration, and aggregation of AWS data assets, and provide services (compute, storage, security) to access datasets at scale. We collect and process billions of usage and billing transactions every single day and relate it to the largest data feed supported by Salesforce.com. We transform this raw data into actionable information in the Data Lake and make it available to our internal service owners to analyze their business and service our external customers.
We are truly leading the way to disrupt the big data industry. We are accomplishing this vision by bringing to bear Big Data technologies like Elastic Map Reduce (EMR) in addition to data warehouse technologies like Spectrum to build a data platform capable of scaling with the ever-increasing volume of data produced by AWS services. You will have the ability to craft and build Tech360's data lake platform and supporting systems for years to come.
You should have deep expertise in the design, creation, management, and business use of large datasets, across a variety of data platforms. You should have excellent business and interpersonal skills to be able to work with business owners to understand data requirements, and to build ETL to ingest the data into the data lake. You should be an authority at crafting, implementing, and operating stable, scalable, low cost solutions to flow data from production systems into the data lake. Above all you should be passionate about working with huge data sets and someone who loves to bring datasets together to answer business questions and drive growth.
