We are hiring for this role in San Francisco (this is not a remote position)

Ciro processes billions of data points from dozens of public and proprietary sources to deliver near real-time updates to sales teams about their prospects. As a Founding Data Engineer at Ciro, you will design and lead Ciro’s data infrastructure. You will see all parts of the business and shape Ciro’s culture from the earliest stages.

You will:

• Build high-performance data processing pipelines leveraging Python data engineering libraries, BigQuery, and PostgreSQL.
• Own and manage Ciro’s data pipeline infrastructure, including scheduling/orchestration, data movement, and deployment.
• Work closely with the founders and early customers to set product and technical direction for the company.
• Play a lead role in defining Ciro’s engineering culture as we grow.

Sample projects you might work on:

• Design and build a machine learning system to classify a business’s industry and the services it provides based on the text of its website.
• Design a system to automatically deploy and orchestrate Python data processing scripts on Google Cloud.
• Design a system to regularly synchronize Ciro’s data indexes — Postgres, BigQuery, and Typesense (similar to Elasticsearch).

Some of the skills we’re excited about:

• 5+ years of software backend/data engineering experience, including familiarity with data modeling, ETL, schema and system design, Git-based workflow, and documentation.
• Sound knowledge about database concepts such as transactions, indexing, and concurrency.
• Productive, resourceful, and effective at problem-solving.
• Ability to balance effective execution with a high bar for engineering excellence.
• Preferred: Experience using modern deployment technologies like Docker and at least one major Cloud provider (AWS/GCP/Azure).
• Preferred: High degree of SQL proficiency and knowledge of modern data stack technologies like BigQuery/Snowflake and dbt.

Our goal is to make this as simple and enjoyable for you as possible, while respecting your time.

1. Intro call: a 20-25 min chat with on of the founders about the position, your background, your motivation and all the initial questions you might have.
2. Collaborative programming technical interview(s): 1 hour session to get a grasp of your skills and approaches.
3. Onsite: Meet each of the team members in person - we want to get to know you and you probably want to get to know us, so we can make sure that we'll all be thrilled to work together.
4. Offer: will be made and you'll join Ciro on our journey!
