Codecademy was started in 2011 by two college students in a dorm room at Columbia that were frustrated by the huge gap between education and employment. A few years later, we are a rapidly growing, diverse team of 150+ in SoHo, NYC. We’ve raised over $40m in venture capital funding from top investors including Union Square Ventures, Kleiner Perkins, Naspers, Y Combinator, and more.

  • Hands-on experience building and maintaining large scale ETL systems.
  • Deep understanding of database design and data structures.
  • Experience with MPP columnar databases such as Redshift, Greenplum, Vertica and SQL + NoSQL data stores
  • Fluency in one of the following languages: Python, Scala, Ruby, Go.
  • Experience working with cloud-based data platforms (we use AWS).
  • Ability to make pragmatic engineering decisions, write extensive tests and create documentation
  • Strong project management skills; a proven ability to gather and translate requirements from stakeholders across functions and teams into tangible results.

WHAT WILL MAKE YOU STAND OUT

  • Building anomaly detection systems that will help detect real-time data issues and improving internal tools.
  • Experience with tools in our current warehousing stack: Apache Airflow, Redshift, Segment, Kinesis, S3, Looker.
  • Familiarity with the database technologies we use in production: MongoDB, PostgreSQL or similar NoSQL / SQL stores
  • Comfort with containerization technologies: Docker, Kubernetes, etc.
  • Experience with big data processing technologies such as Apache Spark.
  • Experience (or interest in learning to) productionizing machine learning models.

At Codecademy, we are committed to teaching people the skills they need to upgrade their careers. Codecademy aims to educate a richly diverse demographic of users with our product and in order to accomplish this, we believe our team should reflect that rich diversity.
