senior data engineer

About the job We are looking for Semi-Senior Data Engineer to join our team who should be passionate about data processing and can help us in developing and launching a new cutting edge product in the HR Analytics / Human Capital Management (HCM) space (super interesting data set with millions of team emails, chats, meetings, tasks, commits, file activity etc in big graph DB). You should enjoy working independently and have the capability to innovate to help overcome challenges. The candidate must have at least two years hands-on experience in the Data Science field. About us Tribes.AI is a new startup aiming to help build strong high-performance teams with advanced analytics. Teams today produce a huge amount of data via everyday activities (emails, meetings, chats, files, tasks, code, etc) that can be mined for trends. This data provides powerful insights into team performance and helps management make more informed decisions about their employees, teams, and clients. The management team at Tribes.AI has already successfully built and sold a large data consulting company, Datalicious. As a result, we understand how valuable our team members are, and how to build working teams that produce results no matter what timezone you are in. We value skilled employees who are at the top of their game, who want to take ownership, and who want to grow with us. If you want to research us some more, we suggest you check out our current team on LinkedIn, what they say on Glassdoor, and our funding progress on Crunchbase.
Our perks All team members are usually offered the following perks ...

• Flexible working hours (i.e. we don't care when you work, within reason, as long as the work gets done)
• Working from home (i.e. we don't care from where you work, whatever makes you most productive)
• Working from home expenses (i.e. we pay for your home Internet and any other reasonable expenses)
• New laptop via EMI purchase (i.e. you buy it and own it but you can expense the monthly repayments)
• Unlimited leave (i.e. we don't count days off so take as many as you need as long as the work gets done)
• Training courses (i.e. we want you to keep learning so we pay for relevant courses and give you time off)

• Write scalable data engineering pipelines
• Mentor junior data engineers

• Obsessed with perfection and driven by a constant need to optimize (i.e. always wanting to look for a way of doing things even better than they already are, etc)
• Committed as in ready to stay with us for the long run (i.e. recruitment, on-boarding, and training are extremely time-consuming tasks we do not want to go through time and time again)
