About the Team
The Data Lake Engineering team is looking for a Senior Software Engineer with a level of proficiency in data as well as software engineering. Members of Data Lake Engineering team build secure and accessible web applications, APIs, and interfaces on top of Data Lake's data which allow other members and teams within VIZIO to interact with the data along with independently leading Data engineering projects and strive to proactively improve process efficiency, making recommendations for process and system improvements where applicable. The Senior Software Engineer - Data role will be responsible for not only understanding data pipelines but, event streaming applications, and how to build systems that handle massive amounts of data while making it consumable by other application teams, users and data scientists.
While other Data Lake team members focus on many data intensive tasks from building pipelines which cleanse, aggregate, and store VIZIO data securely as well as provide access through dashboards and database access, products developed and maintained by Data Lake Engineering team build on top of existing data and give it and enhanced functionality within VIZIO. You will also be assisting in the design and architecture of highly scalable, fault tolerant infrastructure capable of processing millions of operations per minute coming from millions of TVs, efficiently store petabytes of data and provide fast insights from the data. You will also be working with teams across the Vizio enterprise to bring their data into our Big Data ecosystem, monitor data quality for cleanliness and fix discrepancies. Ensure data accuracy through validation tasks, perform solutions for root cause analysis and implement data prep and cleanliness, review data at all granular/aggregate levels, and versioning.
Because team members of Data Lake Engineering team are proficient in both software development and data, team members can still take on existing data requests and tickets within the Data Lake team as completing these tasks assists in keeping the team's knowledge relevant. Team members also can assist with ad-hoc software requests such as integrations between data products requiring code or API development.
