Senior Data Engineer

We are GovPredict, an exponentially growing, Y Combinator-backed startup in Washington, DC. Our software+data product helps companies predict what the US government will do. We work with Fortune 500 publicly-traded companies, Ivy-League universities, and United States House and Senate offices. Our culture is “build fast and ask questions later.” But we value rigor and best-practices too. Our team of powerful engineers is building the software that no government has ever seen before.

Our team of top-tier software developers is distributed around the world and our sales + business development is in the USA. Our Stack Ruby on Rails backend, ReactJS front end, Python scrapers, Postgres, Mongo, Redis, Elastic Search, AWS, and various tools to accommodate a robust data pipeline soon. About the Job As a data engineer, you will be focused on rearchitecting, building, then improving our data pipeline. This means you'll be working with databases, queuing systems, distributed architecture, and Python. Our product pulls in data from structured APIs, data dumps (like large CSVs), or from unstructured sources with our python scrapers. We then manipulate, organize, and display it in never before seen ways to our customers. Our goal is to improve how data flows in our application so we can continue to deliver accurate, reliable, and timely data to our customers as we scale our team and codebase. You'll make sure our architecture will scale with us, that we have monitoring enabled to keep things running, and that our data gets into our DB timely and accurately. You will apply best practices and write smart+scalable code. You will be working with data nobody has ever worked with before. Other Facts Remote work
