Staff Data Engineer (Rust, Bash) - Full-time - Canada, US

Headline is a top-performing technology venture capital firm and we're looking to grow our Rust data engineering team. We love skilled engineers who are passionate about problem-solving and building blazingly fast software. If you've worked with Rust before, that's awesome, but it's not obligatory.

As a Staff Data Engineer, you'll be collaborating with your teammates to handle tasks like:

• Developing robust software solutions primarily using Rust.
• Building performance-sensitive data processing applications and jobs.
• Managing Debian servers and optimizing operating system configurations.
• Leveraging expert-level Bash scripting abilities.
• Performing numerical data processing and data science tasks.
• Designing database schemas and writing PostgreSQL queries.
• Maintaining Elasticsearch schemas and managing time-series databases.
• Optimizing code to efficiently handle large-scale problems within memory constraints.
• Innovating new methods for data storage and retrieval.
• Maintaining and enhancing HTTP APIs for our web-based frontend.
• Applying machine learning techniques to our datasets.
• Managing (via remote hands) 8 bare metal servers and 1.2 PiB of data for intensive workloads; system administration experience is a plus.

Your responsibilities will be dynamic and open-ended, enabling you to both collaborate with and enhance our existing team. Instead of focusing on specific qualifications, we invite you to consider how your unique skills and experiences align with this role and what it entails. We value individuals who can contribute meaningfully across various aspects of our projects.

Why you'll like working here: Join a small, flexible engineering team where your contributions make a significant impact. You'll work closely with colleagues across the organization, fostering a collaborative environment where learning and problem-solving are a collective effort. You'll have opportunities to contribute to the Rust and open-source communities, furthering your professional growth.
