Data Engineer
We need a Data Engineer who can take a vague technology request and return a client-centric system that does exactly, and only, what was asked. This make-it-better junior role offers $80,000 - $113,000, the freedom to own your roadmap, and a team that helps you grow.
Key Responsibilities:
Optimize application performance, latency, and resource utilization at scale Tune Tableau queries until the CA database stops timing out under load Turn vague technology tickets into crisp, testable LightGBM acceptance criteria Translate people-centered business requirements into technical specifications and tasks Wire Plotly APIs to Feature Engineering consumers so data lands where Thousand Oaks teams expect it What You'll Bring Experience thriving in a safety-first, deadline-driven setting like StartupSphere Pattern recognition earned across many technology engagements Comfort being measured against a clear junior bar Working knowledge of Data Wrangling alongside transferable Feature Engineering chops The judgment to say no to good ideas at the wrong time Written communication clear enough to survive a forwarded email chain StartupSphere is an autonomy-rich, fiercely independent Thousand Oaks company that would rather earn trust slowly than buy attention quickly. We build an environment where playfully-serious ideas get tested quickly and credit is shared fairly. You will see $80,000 - $113,000 on the offer, plus a growth plan, a mentor, and benefits tuned for life beyond the Thousand Oaks office. As of today's date, this Data Engineer req has not been filled.
