What You’ll Do

  • System Modernization: Analyze and refactor existing data scheduling and batch processing systems to improve code quality, maintainability, and processing performance.

  • Internal Tool Development: Build automated tools and service modules to enhance the efficiency of the data team, including data validation, quality checks, and monitoring dashboards.

  • API & Service Design: Implement robust data access APIs to provide stable interfaces for downstream AI/ML and analytics teams.

  • Infrastructure & DevOps: Drive containerization using Docker to improve service portability and implement CI/CD automation for data pipelines.

  • Hybrid Cloud Integration: Collaborate on hybrid-cloud architectures, integrating on-premises platforms with cloud-native components like BigQuery, Redshift, or Databricks to optimize performance and cost.

  • Reliability Engineering: Design advanced error-handling, retry mechanisms, and task dependency management to ensure fault-tolerant data operations.

What You’ll Bring

  • Professional Experience: At least 3+ years of experience in data engineering or software development, with a track record of managing enterprise-level data services.

  • Technical Proficiency: Strong expertise in Python and Java, with the ability to contribute to core system development and component expansion.

  • Modern Data Stack: Familiarity with Data Lakehouse concepts, storage-compute separation, and big data frameworks such as Spark or Trino.

  • Containerization & Cloud: Hands-on experience with Docker and a solid understanding of AWS or GCP cloud infrastructure.

  • Software Engineering Rigor: A deep commitment to clean code standards, unit testing, and system reliability (SRE) principles.

  • Bonus Points: Experience with Kubernetes (K8s) or real-time streaming technologies like Kafka and Flink.

What Sets This Company Apart

This is an opportunity to join the largest e-commerce platform in Taiwan, where data is the lifeblood of the business. Our client offers the stability of a market leader combined with a forward-thinking engineering culture that prioritizes technical excellence over "quick fixes." You will work in a highly collaborative environment where your contributions directly impact the developer experience of internal teams and the service quality for millions of customers.
