About this role
The Platform Engineer will develop a data platform centered on first-party customer data collected through KARTE. The platform supports multiple products by collecting, analyzing, displaying, normalizing, and processing diverse user behavior data.
Responsibilities include developing a real-time analytics engine and designing and operating cloud infrastructure. The role also covers designing and implementing a tag manager service that distributes measurement scripts, building data analysis foundations that make behavior data easier to use across products, and implementing infrastructure that protects privacy and security. Additional work includes constructing and operating common application execution platforms and CI/CD foundations for individual products.
The technical challenges include creating a lightweight measurement script of several kilobytes that collects behavior data and displays distributed content within 0.x seconds. The role also involves building a backend foundation capable of real-time, low-latency analysis under traffic of approximately one million requests per second; a query execution foundation that enables interactive searches and visualizations across petabyte-scale behavior data in about one second; and an extensible data-processing pipeline that normalizes varied, petabyte-scale data for use across multiple products. With more than 30 microservices developed by distributed teams, the engineer will also design an architecture that considers the overall system and carry it through implementation to improve development and operations across teams.
The stated development environment includes GitHub, Docker, Kubernetes, GCP, AWS, BigQuery, Spanner, BigTable, MongoDB, Redis, Node.js, TypeScript, Java, Go, Vue.js, and React. The work includes systems handling large traffic and low latency, a tag manager for measurement and other KARTE product scripts, analytics infrastructure for more than 180 PB of monthly data, container infrastructure supporting product microservices, CI/CD workflow operations, and security improvements for the behavior data platform.
