The Sr. Data engineer will help lead in the building of large-scale image data processing systems and APIs and will be comfortable as the SME teaching others how best to leverage common image and geodata formats that work with the latest open-source technologies. A Sr. Data engineer will embrace the challenge of dealing with terabytes or even petabytes of data daily in a high-throughput API/microservice ecosystem and will mentor others to do the same. A Sr. Data engineer understands how to apply technologies to solve complex problems that bring value to new and existing data processing pipelines. The Sr. Data engineer will take a lead role on complex projects with a focus on collecting, parsing, managing, analyzing and making available large sets of imagery and image data to turn information into insights using multiple platforms. The Sr. Data engineer should be comfortable developing prototypes and proof of concepts for the selected solutions in a multi-member team environment or in a single contributor role. This Sr. Data Engineer will lead the engineering and building of geospatial data assets to support Bayers image processing product pipeline. You will design, build and support of cloud and open source systems to process geospatial data assets via an API-based platform. Partner with other internal development communities to produce data assets from Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) and remote sensing platforms (public and commerical). Building highly scalable APIs and associative architecture to support thousands of requests per second. Being able to work across multiple teams internal/external to gather requirements and ensure project development is aligned to those requirements. Being able to improve the performance of the existing services and be able to identify the scope for any enhancements. Define and implement best practices for parsing, managing, analyzing and making available large sets of data to turn information into insights using multiple platforms. Working at all stages of the software life cycle: Proof of Concept, MVP, Production, and Deprecation.
