Role Summary:
Ruby engineers at Sensor Tower apply their creativity and backend experience to create meaningful, actionable data products and insights about mobile apps.

This role focuses on designing, implementing, and optimising performant and scalable solutions to manage our high volume data pipelines. As our data is central to the Sensor Tower product, this is a high impact role. Backend Ruby developers at Sensor Tower serve as force multipliers for all of our engineering teams by ensuring easy access to data for all, scaling our system to enable the development of more sophisticated features, and implementing widely used tooling.

Recent examples of such impactful projects include:
- ~10x scaling of data science processing jobs, enabling us to generate more granular mobile app analytics breakdowns.
- Migrating high volume data from MongoDB to ClickHouse for blazing fast, simpler, more generalisable querying.
- Designing an ETL pipeline to provide easy-to-ingest data (for both customers and internal analysts) backed in Snowflake.
- Managing actionable events and notifications driven by newly ingested data.

This role can be fully remote.
