Key Responsibilities

Team Focus Areas

Database Access Platform

The Database Access Platform team builds and operates a flexible query gateway that facilitates data abstractions to work at sub-millisecond latencies while allowing arenaflex microservices to more efficiently store, consume, and manage their data. This team holds significant responsibility in enabling arenaflex microservices to meet their constantly growing and evolving data needs. If you're passionate about distributed data systems technology, enjoy working with cutting-edge tools, and believe in owning what you build, this team offers an incredible opportunity to make an impact.

Data Platform Infrastructure

The Data Platform Infrastructure team serves as a platform for our internal data platforms. Our shared infrastructure and tooling enable arenaflex to rapidly iterate on providing cutting-edge data and analytics systems to the rest of the organization without building custom platforms for each new system. We create high-impact infrastructure, control, and deployment systems customized for running our data systems at scale. Many of our tools and systems are written in Python, making this an excellent team if you enjoy working in multiple languages and tackling diverse technical challenges.

Data Ingestion and Processing

This team offers a self-service streaming pipeline product to enable diverse client personas across arenaflex to meet their low-latency data ingestion and processing requirements. They enable abstraction over complex streaming systems like Kafka and Flink, offer a graph-driven processing experience, and invest in operational automation, reliability, and tools for predictable data quality.

Big Data Compute

Responsible for providing the cloud-native platform for distributed data processing at arenaflex, this team is crucial to batch data processing in the Data Platform. They support Spark, ETL data into the petabyte-scale data warehouse, and provide access using Spark and Prino/Trino. The team also delivers sub-second latency for specific query classes using Druid. We're looking for exceptional talent with experience in Spark, Presto/Trino, Druid, Iceberg, and distributed database systems overall. This team tackles fascinating and challenging problems of working with data at scale, building features and performance improvements, and working closely with open source communities to shape projects and make contributions.

Big Data Orchestration

This team offers the platform for scheduling, organizing, and executing big data jobs and workflows in a self-serve manner. These platforms include foundational services that run all ETL and ML workloads on Big Data Systems at arenaflex. These fully distributed systems are constantly evolving at arenaflex scale with best-in-class technology. We're moving toward event-driven and intelligent coordination that requires minimal user input/intervention.
