The Auth0 Data Engineering Team

Within Auth0, the Data Engineering team builds solutions to support analytics needs for the whole organization and is in charge of the Data Platform. It is divided into 3 groups:

• Pipeline team, sitting closer to the Platform team and data producers and in charge of the efficient data ingestion and provision of quick access to unmodeled data
• Warehouse team sitting closer to the business teams and data consumers and in charge of modeling the data in the data warehouse to abstract away the complexity for data consumers, simplifying the organization’s analysis, reporting and decision-making
• Interface team responsible for creating and managing connections between the data platform and various external systems (internal or external facing), making sure everyone has access to consistent and reliable data

The Senior Data Engineer Opportunity

Reporting to the manager of the Data Engineering Pipeline team, the senior data engineer will be a key player in ensuring the reliability and efficiency of our core data platform. This role is crucial, providing the stable data foundation that not only 'runs the business' day-to-day but also directly empowers the organization to unlock growth and build innovative new products. We are looking for an autonomous and proactive engineer who can take ownership of our data ingestion pipelines, work closely with platform teams and data producers, and onboard new data from various internal and external systems. You will be part of a team creating robust, scalable data solutions using a modern, best-in-class toolset.

What you’ll be doing 

• Own and operate our critical data pipelines and infrastructure, participating in the team's support rotation to ensure high availability and business continuity.
• Lead troubleshooting efforts to fix complex pipeline or infrastructure issues, demonstrating a willingness to go beyond the direct scope of the team to find resolutions.
• Manage the data onboarding lifecycle, working with stakeholders to integrate new internal and external data sources into our platform using our suite of tools.
• Develop and deploy robust, scalable data solutions using modern tools and technologies like Snowflake, dbt, Airflow, and Terraform.
• Continuously learn and advocate for modern technologies and best practices to improve data delivery and engineering efficiency.

What you’ll bring to the role

• 5+ years of software development experience, with at least 3+ years working on large-scale data systems.
• Strong proficiency in SQL for data manipulation and Python for data pipeline development.
• Hands-on experience building and operating data pipelines in a cloud environment (AWS preferred).
• Hands-on experience with the modern data stack, specifically:
• Data Warehousing: Snowflake
• Data Transformation: dbt
• Infrastructure as Code: Terraform
• Experience with data ingestion, streaming, and event-driven architecture (e.g., Kafka, CDC, Snowpipe).
• Knowledge of data security and data privacy best practices
• A strong understanding of data modeling principles 
• data security best practices.
• A highly autonomous and proactive mindset. You are a quick learner who can self-motivate, prioritize needs, and deliver results in a dynamic environment.

And extra credit if you have experience in any of the following! 

• Experience with Snowpark.
• Experience with containerization and orchestration (Kubernetes is a nice to have).
• Familiarity with the Identity Access & Management (IAM) domain.
• Experience building developer-friendly, API-driven applications using REST and/or gRPC.
