What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Data Integration Engineer position at City Hive, Inc.?
First, You’re Probably a Good Fit If
As a Senior Data Integration Engineer in City Hive, you will have the opportunity to crack one of the most significant technical challenges of the company, which is integrating 4000 of POS systems into our SaaS platform in a real-time manner.
We have developed our own cutting edge ETL framework, that runs on top of AWS Lambda, SQS and S3, that allows us to maintain near real-time data freshness (We’re talking seconds). Having our own solution allows us to have the ETL solution much more integrated with the rest of the system as opposed to just keeping it as a boring unit that lives outside of it. Additionally, it allowed us to be much more efficient when it comes to cost and avoid the typical lambda cost when you reach a significant scale.
You’d find yourself communicating with entities outside the company on a regular basis – IT personnel of big liquor store chains/distributors/brands, solution engineers and developers of POS companies (think Square, Toast, Netsuite etc).
Responsibilities
Who Are We
City Hive is a dynamic and rapidly growing SaaS company revolutionizing commerce by simplifying technical complexity. We serve thousands of customers nationwide and are expanding both vertically within our primary industry and horizontally into new sectors.
We embrace an impact management approach where individuals can make significant technical contributions across our product ecosystem. We’re serious about transforming retail, distribution, and production value chains by making advanced technology accessible to businesses of all sizes.
- You appreciate the difference between a CSV and a PSV file (because again and again, you had to parse a CSV file that didn’t conform with the “standard”). We’re not even mentioning TSV.
- You enjoy opening files in a HEX editor and figure out the data layout?
- “API Docs? Who needs that?” – you, on a typical Tuesday afternoon
- You got excited when Python introduced data classes
