About the Role

R-Zero combines best-in-class IoT-enabled sensors, UV-C technology, and connected data to create an unparalleled ecosystem in efficacy and sustainability that fundamentally changes the health of any building. Our IoT and analytics infrastructure is at an inflection point for extensibility and scale, and we are looking for a versatile, hands-on Data Engineer to help guide this transition.

As the founding Data Engineer, you will spend most of your time designing,  building, and maintaining our Data pipelines and warehouse. We are a small team with a diverse product portfolio, so we will also need your help to pitch in with Database improvements and schema changes to make a highly performant app.

To ensure success as a Data Engineer, you should have advanced programming skills, a keen eye for detail, experience building efficient data pipelines for large data volumes, and be eager to be an integral part of the software development effort. 

Role Responsibilities 

Build data pipelines:

• Design, develop, and implement data pipelines to dedupe and clean the incoming sensor data.
• Create robust, scalable, and maintainable data infrastructure.
• Design and implement flexible data models to enable analysis across business domains & instrument data quality checks to ensure accurate reporting
• Contribute to the Data Architecture at R-Zero

Collaboration:

• You will work directly with our full-stack software engineering team: influencing strategic design, and also working side-by side on a daily basis as part of the Agile/Scrum process. 
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including Software/FW Engineers, Product Managers, and QA team members, to enhance overall software quality and performance.

About You 

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.
• 7+ years experience as a Data Engineer
• 4+ years experience creating and maintaining data transformation pipelines with Airflow, dbt, or similar tools
• Advanced knowledge of Relational and Timescale databases
• Advanced knowledge of SQL and data modeling best practices
• Up-to-date knowledge of the rapidly-changing landscape of data tools and best practices
• Proficiency with programming script languages, including Python, JavaScript, and PHP
• Working experience with data analysis libraries in Python (Pandas, Numpy), or R (dplyr)
• Strong understanding of software testing methodologies, tools, and best practices.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Effective communication and collaboration skills within a team-oriented environment.

About the Team

We are firm believers in over-communicating. We are remote, and over-communication is one of our core principles. This means asking any question, no matter how small, speaking up when you have concerns, ideas, or feedback, and documenting technical information. We are also firm believers in convention over configuration. We keep our stacks as similar as possible across our projects. As a result, you should be able to ramp up on any new project very quickly, and we are always open to improving this process. Our development life cycle is predictable and efficient, but we always know we can improve. We are always open to new solutions, methods, and technologies as long as they help us achieve our goals efficiently. If you are passionate about ensuring software quality through effective automated testing and possess the required skills, we invite you to join our dynamic team. Apply now to contribute to the success of our cutting-edge software solutions.
