Why This Role Matters

Our platform is at the heart of our product, ensuring that everything runs smoothly for our 8,000+ users. As the backbone of the platform, the team primarily focuses on building a platform that enables continuous data retrieval, storage, transformation and exposing the data to the rest of the product.

We are looking for someone who can bring fresh perspectives from various areas like distributed computing, data engineering, large-scale system design and architecture. We are right now evolving our platform and tech and you’ll play a critical role in our continued growth, with opportunities to develop.

About the Engineering Teams & Role

Our teams have clear ownership of their product areas, making daily decisions in close collaboration both within and across teams, as well as with stakeholders. We work in small, iterative cycles, experimenting, learning and updating the product multiple times a day.

At Funnel, our engineers handle everything from designing system architecture to implementation, deploying and monitoring our services. We put our customers first and always strive to design products that address their needs and go above and beyond.

We are building our platform mainly with Rust and in AWS. We are using the most relevant and innovative open source technologies that are right for the job, while adjusting and building our own tech on top of them to be able to cater for our product’s specific needs.

Skills & Experience We’re Looking For

• 6-10+ years of experience with systems programming languages such as Rust, C/C++, Go and/or Java/Scala.

• Hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure and operations (AWS or GCP preferred).

• Experience in building distributed multi tenant systems, and challenges such as scalability, data synchronisation, fault tolerance, and inter-service communication.

• Experience in system architecture and modelling systems. Used to making architectural decisions and tradeoffs with your team.

• Familiarity with agile methodologies and collaborative, team-based workflows.

• Experience working in teams responsible for platforms/services with a high need of reliability and scalability.

• Good understanding of security and what that means for building safe services.

• Excellent communication skills with fluent English proficiency.

Nice to Have

• Previous experience with Rust or excited to learn and use Rust.

• Familiarity with Python, Javascript/Typescript.

• Experience with Amazon Cloud Development Kit (CDK).

• Familiarity with data engineering and data pipelines.

• Experience with Apache Arrow and Parquet.

What You’ll Do

• Design, build, and maintain scalable, reliable systems for handling large amounts of data. Such as data ingestion, transformation or exports.

• Lead and contribute to technical decisions that impact several teams and the platform.

• Collaborate closely with your team everyday and apply high standards for code quality and system performance.

What Makes You a Great Match for Funnel

• You’re pragmatic, preferring to make incremental progress and experimenting rather than wait for the perfect solution.

• You’re humble and open to feedback and hearing alternative ways of doing things.

• You view challenges as opportunities and embrace learning.

• You follow engineering best practices and stay current with evolving technologies.

• You enjoy collaborating together with other teams to find the best solutions.
