About your new role:

As a Senior Software Engineer and Data Architect, you will be instrumental in designing and building a real-time, scalable, and customizable reporting system that empowers users to interact with and analyze business-critical data instantly. You will lead the architecture and development of this system, integrating it into our current Azure-based, Python, PHP, and MariaDB ecosystem. This is a high-impact role where you’ll work cross-functionally to ensure that our reporting tools deliver fast, accurate insights with an intuitive user experience.

This is a 100% Remote, Full-Time opportunity.  

Key Responsibilities:

Architect and Develop the Reporting System:

• Design and implement a real-time reporting engine that can support complex queries and large data volumes across various business areas.
• Create a flexible, scalable data infrastructure that can handle dynamic report generation and ad-hoc queries efficiently.

Data Pipeline and Integration:

• Lead the design and optimization of ETL pipelines to collect, process, and analyze data from multiple sources.
• Develop and maintain a metadata-driven data model to allow for dynamic schema mapping and real-time reporting.

Performance and Scalability Optimization:

• Build a high-performance data architecture capable of handling concurrent reporting queries without latency issues.
• Ensure scalability to support growing data volumes, complex analytics, and reporting demands, leveraging best practices in cloud architecture.

User-Centric Reporting Features:

• Develop customizable reporting templates, dashboards, and visualizations that meet user needs for flexible data slicing and analysis.
• Integrate self-service and drill-down capabilities to enable users to explore data and derive insights independently.

Collaboration and Leadership:

• Collaborate with stakeholders across product, data, and engineering teams to understand reporting requirements and translate them into technical specifications.
• Mentor and lead other engineers in best practices for data architecture, reporting, and analytics.

What you'll need for success

• 5+ years of experience in software engineering with a focus on data engineering or architecture.
• Proven experience in building real-time or near-real-time data processing/reporting systems.
• Strong background in cloud platforms, ideally with Azure; experience with Azure services like Data Lake, Synapse, or CosmosDB is a plus.
• Advanced Python, PHP, and SQL skills, with experience in data manipulation and database design.
• Proficiency with MariaDB or similar relational databases; familiarity with NoSQL databases and data warehousing is advantageous.
• Strong understanding of ETL frameworks and data pipeline tools (e.g., Apache Airflow, Azure Data Factory).
• Extensive experience in designing scalable, efficient data architectures and optimized schemas for high-performance reporting.
• Strong knowledge of microservices and event-driven architecture to enable real-time data processing.
• Experience in metadata-driven design and query engines (similar to Apache Druid, Presto, or BigQuery).
• Excellent communication skills to collaborate with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities to tackle complex reporting and data architecture challenges.
