Senior Data Engineer, Scala

At Magnite, we cultivate an environment of continuous growth and collaboration. Our work impacts what millions of people read, watch, and buy, and we’re looking for people to help us tackle that responsibility with creativity and focus.  Magnite (NASDAQ: MGNI) is the world’s largest independent sell-side advertising platform.

The team:

The Streaming Organization's Data Engineering team owns the applications and infrastructure that make up the Streaming Org's data pipeline, handling ~40 billion events per day at an average of 400-500 thousand per second. This data underpins the Streaming business - including client reporting, internal data science, account managers, and product + business teams - and as such we need to build systems that remain scalable and efficient at this volume of data while also ensuring data consistency and reliability. We value communication, discussion, and sharing of ideas to come to the best technical solutions to our large-scale data challenges. We are looking for people who want to get things done and value open collaboration (including constructive feedback when brainstorming). Our end-to-end ownership of the data world includes both typical data-engineering type problems (think Spark pipelines, ETL processing, etc) and more general software-engineering tech as well (think Java applications, API design, etc).
