Jobright.ai Parafin is dedicated to supporting small businesses by providing them with essential financial tools through innovative technology. The Senior Software Engineer for the Data Platform will lead the development of a reliable and scalable data infrastructure, collaborating with various teams to enhance data-driven decision-making and product development. Responsibilities: • Design and build robust, highly scalable data pipelines and lakehouse infrastructure with PySpark, Databricks, and Airflow on AWS. • Improve the data platform development experience for Engineering, Data Science, and Product by creating intuitive abstractions, self‑service tooling, and clear documentation. • Own and maintain core data pipelines and models that power internal dashboards, ML models, and customer-facing products. • Own the Data & ML platform infrastructure using Terraform, including end‑to‑end administration of Databricks workspaces: manage user access, monitor performance, optimize configurations (e.g., clusters, lakehouse settings), and ensure high availability of data pipelines. • Lead projects to improve data quality, testing, observability, and cost efficiency across existing pipelines and backend systems (e.g., migrating Databricks SQL pipelines to dbt, scaling data ingestion, improving data-lineage tracking, and enhancing monitoring). • Work closely with backend engineers and data scientists to design performant data models and support new product development initiatives. • Share best practices and mentor other engineers working on data-centric systems. Qualifications: Required: • 4+ years of experience in software engineering with a strong background in data infrastructure, pipelines, and distributed systems. • Advanced proficiency in Python and SQL. • Expertise with modern cloud data stacks—AWS (S3, RDS), Databricks, and Airflow—and lakehouse architectures. • Hands-on experience with foundational data-infrastructure technologies such as Hadoop, Hive, Kafka (or similar streaming platforms), Delta Lake/Iceberg, and distributed query engines like Trino/Presto. • Familiarity with ingestion frameworks, developer-experience tooling, and best practices for data versioning, lineage, partitioning, and clustering. • Strong problem-solving skills and a proactive attitude toward ownership and platform health. • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, especially in cross-functional settings. Preferred: • Experience with AWS infrastructure using Terraform. • Familiarity with observability tools (e.g., Datadog) and cost tracking in cloud environments. • Experience with financial systems or building platforms in a fintech setting. • Prior work on ML infrastructure: Feature stores (e.g., Tecton), ML model lifecycle (training, deployment, monitoring, retraining), real-time inference. • Contributions to internal tooling or open-source projects in the data ecosystem. Company: Parafin is a financial infrastructure company that offers pre-built financial services programs to support small businesses. Founded in 2020, the company is headquartered in San Francisco, California, USA, with a team of 51-200 employees. The company is currently Growth Stage.
