  • Partner closely with product and engineering teams to deliver data-driven features and services that support our safety mission.
  • Support our existing ETL/ELT processes, data lake, data warehouse, and data lakehouse environments.
  • Ensure data quality, reliability, and observability through robust monitoring, alerting, and documentation practices.
  • Participate actively in architectural discussions and contribute to the long-term strategy of our data platform.

About You

  • Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and CI/CD best practices in multi-environment deployment workflows, including hands-on experience with Terraform and GitHub Actions.
  • Experience with monitoring and alerting platforms such as CloudWatch, Datadog, or PagerDuty.
  • Hands-on experience with ETL/ELT and orchestration tools including AWS Glue Studio, Matillion, and AWS Step Functions.
  • Proficiency with AWS data services: Redshift, EMR, S3, Lambda, Kinesis, and MSK.
  • Strong proficiency in SQL, Python, Java, and/or Scala.
  • You’re a pragmatic builder and problem-solver who’s passionate about enabling better decisions through data. 
  • You understand that clean architecture and thorough documentation are essential, not optional. 
  • You work well in agile teams and enjoy collaborating with product, engineering, and analytics partners. 
  • You have opinions on data modeling, enjoy the challenge of working with event-driven architectures, and are comfortable switching between SQL, Python, Java, Scala and a variety of AWS services. 
  • You have embraced AI-assisted development as a core part of your workflow — leveraging agentic tools such as Claude Code, Amazon Q Developer, and GitHub Copilot to accelerate delivery, reduce toil, and maintain higher standards of code quality. 
  • Nice to Have 
    • Experience with additional big data technologies such as BigQuery, Snowflake, Microsoft Fabric, Hive, Hadoop, Apache Flink, or Apache Spark. 
    • Familiarity with BI and analytics tools including Power BI and Amazon Quick. 
    • Experience supporting data science teams with the infrastructure, tooling, and model-serving pipelines they need. 
    • Familiarity with AI/ML services on AWS, including Amazon Bedrock, SageMaker, or Strands, and an understanding of how data engineering work underpins model training and inference workflows. 
    • Comfort working alongside data scientists to help productionize models, ensure training data quality, and build reliable data feeds for analytical and predictive use cases.

What We Do

Connect. Monitor. Respond. It’s a simple and seamless sequence of events and also our mission: one that makes sure every worker gets their job done and returns home safely every day. Blackline pairs wearable safety technology and personal and area gas monitoring with cloud-connected software, and data analytics to help companies meet demanding safety challenges and increase productivity with coverage in more than 100 countries. Our technology provides a lifeline to tens of thousands of people, having reported over 160 billion data-points, and initiated over five million emergency responses. Armed with cellular and satellite connectivity, we ensure help is never too far away. The Blackline Difference: To guarantee no call for help ever goes unanswered, our direct-to-cloud technology detects every event—like a fall, gas leak, hazardous weather situation, no-motion incident or missed check-ins–and connects workers to live monitoring teams for real-time response, by real people. It’s what makes us different and it’s what gives workers peace of mind that their safety is accounted for in any circumstance.
