About the Role:
As a Data Infrastructure Engineer, you will be responsible for ensuring that Capsule’s data systems are reliable, efficient, and well-architected. This role will be partnering with engineering teams, providing architectural and infrastructure guidance, and assisting teams in growing their data competencies. You will leverage the latest and greatest from AWS as well as open-source technologies to establish a data platform that delights its internal customers.
- Design, build and maintain the core data infrastructure platform for Capsule’s engineering teams.
- Collaborate with SRE teams to deploy repeatable, observable, and fault-tolerant applications.
- Work directly with non-technical customers and fellow engineers to design a data platform that enables everyone to get the most out of Capsule’s data.
- Evangelize cloud data architectures and advocate for their best practices.
About You:
- You take pride in enabling the best work of others on the team. You think ahead to anticipate the needs of your teammates and you give and get all the facts making it easy for others to make decisions.
- You drive results in a way that makes everyone better. You accomplish ambitious objectives while uplifting the team around you. You're a magnet for team members looking to get better and be successful.
- You work hard and want to have fun while you do so. You celebrate wins and remember to enjoy the journey as we build something iconic.
- You can work both fast and right and don't view them as trade-offs. You understand when things require precision and accuracy and where 80% gets you to the desired outcome.
- You thrive on being pushed and challenged. You communicate effectively both in written form and live / on your feet - you are not fazed by tough questions in the moment.
- You strike the right balance between putting enough work in to share something, but not going off into a corner for weeks at a time to polish something to perfection.
- You operate like an owner and expect others to as well. You take personal responsibility and value personal responsibility in others.
- You check your ego at the door. You are interested in finding the right answer vs. always having the right answer.
Requirements:

- You're fluent in at least one general-purpose programming language (Python, Java/Kotlin/Scala, Go, Rust, C++, etc.). Python is preferred.
