The 2024 garden3d retreat to Yosemite!
Right now, we’re looking for a Data Engineer with expertise in data pipelines, workflow orchestration, and data integration. Our current approach to data ingestion relies on an in-house application that defines lightweight workflows in code and executes them with queues. We’re now expanding this process by adopting Prefect as an orchestration tool, enabling us to manage pipelines for structured and unstructured data from diverse sources, including web crawls and scrapers.
In this role, you’ll work on a variety of client projects to find cost-effective, high-quality, pragmatic solutions to complex problems. Responsibilities will include:
The person we’re looking for is happy, relaxed and easy to get along with. They’re flexible on anything except conceits that will lower their usually outstanding work quality. They work “smart”, by carefully managing their workflow and staggering features that have dependencies intelligently — they prefer deep work but are OK coming up to the surface now and then for top level / strategic conversations.
We believe people with backgrounds or interests in design, art, music, food or fashion tend to have a well rounded sense of design & quality — so a variety of hobbies or side projects is a big nice to have!
