About the Role

Fetch is building a modern, cloud-native data platform that powers analytics, experimentation, and machine learning across the company. As a Data Platform Engineer, you’ll focus on building and operating reliable data ingestion pipelines and core platform services that enable teams to work with data at scale.

This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy hands-on execution, learning distributed systems, and growing their platform engineering skill set while working closely with senior engineers on complex systems.

You’ll partner with product, analytics, and engineering teams to ensure data is ingested, processed, and made available reliably, while maintaining strong operational excellence across the platform.

What You’ll Do

Build & Operate Data Pipelines

  • Design, implement, and maintain data ingestion pipelines using AWS-native data tools and distributed processing frameworks.
  • Support batch and streaming ingestion patterns with a focus on reliability, scalability, and observability.

Platform Operations & Reliability

  • Operate and improve core data platform services, addressing incidents, performance issues, and operational toil.
  • Implement monitoring, alerting, and runbooks to improve platform stability and on-call readiness.

Distributed Systems Support

  • Work with distributed data processing systems (e.g., Spark-based workloads) and orchestration frameworks.
  • Debug production issues across compute, storage, and networking layers.

Infrastructure & Automation

  • Contribute to Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or CDK) and CI/CD workflows.
  • Help improve automation around deployments, scaling, and platform maintenance.

Cross-Team Collaboration

  • Partner with data producers and consumers to onboard pipelines, troubleshoot issues, and improve platform usability.
  • Learn and apply platform standards and best practices defined by senior engineers.

AI-Assisted Engineering

  • Use AI-assisted tools to accelerate development, troubleshoot issues, and validate infrastructure or pipeline code—while ensuring correctness, security, and performance through testing and review.
Minimum Qualifications
  • 3+ years of experience in data platform, data engineering, or platform engineering roles.
  • Experience working in AWS-based cloud environments supporting production systems.
  • Familiarity with distributed data processing concepts, including batch and/or streaming systems (e.g., Spark).
  • Proficiency in at least one programming language (Python, Java, Go, or Scala).
  • Experience with CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code (preferably Terraform), and operating production services.
  • Experience deploying and operating services on Kubernetes or Amazon EKS.
  • Understanding of core distributed systems and cloud architecture principles, including scalability, availability, and fault tolerance.
  • Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to debug complex systems, learn quickly, and collaborate effectively across teams.
  • Experience using AI-assisted development tools responsibly to improve development speed and code quality.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Hands-on experience with AWS data services such as S3, Glue, EMR, Kinesis, or MSK.
  • Exposure to data orchestration or workflow frameworks (e.g., Airflow, Step Functions).
  • Familiarity with data observability, monitoring, or operational metrics.
  • Experience contributing to shared platform or infrastructure tooling.
  • Exposure to Apache Spark or other distributed data processing frameworks.
  • Interest in growing ownership across broader platform or distributed systems domains.
