## About the role

Design, build, and maintain data pipelines at scale. We run Apache Airflow 3 on Astronomer with pipelines that process terabytes of real-world physical data across many file types—imagery, audio, point clouds, and more. You will develop and evolve DAGs that orchestrate complex, multi-step workflows: dozens of tasks, fan out/in in pipelines, Python and Kubernetes operators split across generalized and specialized node pools, and dynamic DAG generation. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- This is a full-time, hybrid role based out of our Lower Manhattan, NYC office (2 days per week in person, currently pinned to Tuesdays and Wednesdays)
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Math, or a related field (or equivalent experience)
- 4+ years of data engineering or backend engineering experience with a focus on pipelines, orchestration, or platform
- Experience with cloud object storage and data-at-scale (we use AWS and S3, cloud experience is required, but prior AWS experience is not)
- Comfort with Kubernetes and container-based deployments in practice: running workloads on K8s, resource and volume configuration, and debugging pod/worker issues
- Ability to own work end-to-end: design, implement, test, and operate pipelines and related tooling. You are comfortable picking up new parts of the stack when needed
