Staff Data Pipeline Engineer

Netlify is a distributed, Series D company building the platform that powers modern web applications. The Data, Insights & Systems team is responsible for analytics, billing, and customer-facing observability; they seek a hands-on Staff Data Pipeline Engineer to design, scale, and maintain Kafka-based streaming pipelines and improve reliability, performance, and observability across billing and analytics systems.

Skills

  • Proven experience designing and operating real-time, event-driven data systems at scale.
  • Production experience managing and scaling Kafka clusters and streaming jobs.
  • Strong SQL skills and experience with analytical databases (Snowflake, ClickHouse).
  • Proficiency in at least one backend language: Go, Python, or Java.
  • Familiarity with multi-cloud environments (GCP and/or AWS) and associated managed services.
  • Experience with observability and monitoring tooling (Datadog, Grafana, Monte Carlo, etc.).
  • Experience with source control and CI/CD workflows for data infrastructure (Git, pipelines).
  • Ability to write production-quality code and design fault-tolerant architecture.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and optimize high-performance, fault-tolerant streaming data pipelines using Kafka and downstream systems.
  • Implement and maintain real-time pipelines integrating relational and non-relational stores (Snowflake, ClickHouse, MongoDB) for operational and analytical workloads.
  • Refactor legacy data systems to improve performance, scalability, and reliability while protecting billing accuracy.
  • Build and maintain observability, alerting, and data quality monitoring to detect issues before customer impact.
  • Collaborate with SRE, software engineers, analysts, and systems admins to plan Kafka platform evolution and operational practices.
  • Drive architectural decisions, evaluate tooling, and balance cost, performance, and maintainability.
  • Create runbooks, documentation, and run operational exercises to ensure cross-team confidence and sustainability.
  • Mentor other engineers on pipeline best practices, instrumentation, and data consumption patterns.
  • Automate manual workflows and improve delivery, deployment, and CI/CD processes for data systems.

Education

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Advanced degree is a plus but not required.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary with location-adjusted ranges and participation in Netlify’s equity plan.
  • Fully distributed, remote-first work environment and flexible work policies.
  • Robust benefits package (health/dental/vision where applicable).
  • Paid time off, parental leave, and professional development support.
  • Collaborative, low-ego engineering culture with opportunities for mentorship and impact.
