Full-Time Data Engineer
Job Description
Data Engineer
Our campaign performance reports rely heavily on a complex series of Google Sheets that interact with other organizational platforms. The Campaign Reporting Software Engineer supports all of our operations in a few major ways:
- Writing scripts in Google Apps Script to generate reports
The majority of our reporting is powered by scripts that read data from multiple spreadsheets and/or other APIs and databases and then write out reporting data to other spreadsheets. Candidates should be skilled at integrating with APIs, authentication, data validation and munging, and basic strategies for algorithm optimization.
- Writing code to integrate other APIs and systems
In addition to the operational reporting that is powered by Google Sheets, our recruiting team uses a custom app created in Zoho, as well as Docusign for managing interviewing and onboarding. These systems use code to manage the workflows in the candidate and onboarding pipeline, and information collected in Docusign is integrated into the Zoho app using a custom-developed lambda function. Candidates should be able to learn the Zoho programming language, Deluge, and should be able to debug and extend the functionality of the Docusign integration, and should also be able to envision and implement code to enable other integrations and workflows.
- Debugging code and data issues in existing systems
The other major component of the job is debugging issues that arise with the existing code. Reading data from Google Sheets means that there are inevitably data entry errors/data integrity issues, and dozens of untested scripts means that there are bugs in the code as well. These issues are first investigated by our team of system admins, who are non-professional coders and debuggers, but the trickiest problems will get escalated to you. You must be comfortable getting to the bottom of these issues, no matter how difficult the (time zone, race condition, timeout, intermittent data corruption) issue may be.
The Campaign Reporting Software Engineer reports to the Director of Data and Technology.
