Role overview

About the Nubank's Berlin team

Nubank’s Berlin office hosts the data infrastructure platform team. We have been building and scaling a self-service data processing platform from scratch that empowers everyone at our company to build, process, and query datasets at petabyte scale to generate insights and power our financial services products. Our main users include data analysts, data scientists, business analysts, backend, and data engineers. The team is focused on building well-thought-out and documented user APIs, backed by scalable data ingestion, processing, and serving systems. We make heavy use of Spark and Flink via Scala for our data processing systems, but you will also find microservices written in Clojure. You will also be in touch with DynamoDB, (Aurora) PostgreSQL, and Datomic for databases, Tekton CI/CD, monitoring/logging with Prometheus and Splunk, and asynchronous communication using Kafka.

Nubank Data Infra SW Engineers in Berlin might solve the following problems:

Work on a self-service data infrastructure ecosystem that powers all data-assisted decisions across Nubank
Refine the data platform to enable a broader set of data applications such as streaming systems and online ML models
Improve user-experience and platform predictability through work on monitoring, self-healing automation, and system reliability
Remove bottlenecks and improve performance, at times by redesigning critical components from scratch
Triage bugs and exceptions reported in production and conduct system load/stress tests

Candidates

We are looking for Software Engineers with a solid track record of creating efficient, scalable, and accessible distributed systems, preferably in the domain of data infrastructure. You will have a chance to shape architecture, process, and culture while working with leading-edge technologies. We believe in cultivating good inter and intra-team chemistry, enthusiasm for building things, and exercising the amazing capacity to learn new things when we stay humble and open-minded. Excellent written and spoken English language skills are essential.

You will fit well if you have:

Hands-on experience building and operating large-scale distributed data processing infrastructure
A deep understanding of data processing frameworks (e.g., based on Spark, Kafka Streams, Flink)
Experience maintaining large codebases and abstracting complexities from internal users
Passion for making the inner workings observable and experience improving stability and performance
Experience with RESTful API oriented design and modular service-oriented architecture

Experience with the following is desirable:

Experience operating systems with high stability requirements
Experience running infrastructure as code (e.g. Ansible, Terraform, CloudFormation)
SQL/NoSQL databases (e.g. PostgreSQL, MySQL, Datomic)
Experience with monitoring and logging tools (like Prometheus, Splunk, and Grafana)
Experience writing and operating production-ready services in a functional programming language (like Clojure)

We expect our candidates to:

Thrive in dynamic, fast-paced, results-oriented teams
Be hungry and enjoy being constantly challenged to learn and do more
Embrace conflict of ideas and question the status quo
Learn fast and easily adapt to changing situations and priorities
Believe in building great products and doing great work
Understand the big picture, be held accountable, and make a meaningful contribution with their work
