Lead Software Engineer – Data Science Platform

About the Role
Data Scientists want to spend their time exploring data, crafting the right features and optimising their models… so far so good. Production requires a lot more though. What about the data pipelines? Scaling up infrastructure based on demand? Running experiments at scale? Feature data consistency? This is where you come in as a Software Engineer for Gojek’s ML platform.
Most companies embed ML engineers in data science teams to solve these problems. We do things a little differently at Gojek. We build self-service products for data scientists so they don’t have to worry about deep engineering problems. Create your model and submit it to us, our platform will scale it up/down for you.
You will be joining a team that has already built industry-leading open-source tools. Our team invented Feast which companies like Twitter and Shopify now use. MLOps is changing fast, we’re looking for engineers who are keen to build the next big thing in MLOps.

What You Will Do

• Design and build our Machine Learning Platform to help Data Scientists productionize their models and features faster
• Nurturing & mentoring 5-7 engineers members
• Engineer high-reliability, high-performance services for sophisticated ML-driven functionality
• Collaborate with Data Scientists to optimize their ML models for high-throughput, low-latency use cases
• Build internal tools and interfaces to improve the productivity of the team and improve the accessibility of our products

What You Will Need

• At least 7-8+ years as a Software Engineer, with fluency and experience in either Go, Python, or Java
• Leadership experience in leading a distributed team of software engineers
• Proven track-record building large-scale, high-throughput, low-latency production systems
• Prior experience developing for and debugging Big Data and stream processing frameworks such as Spark, Kafka, and Flink
• Good understanding of algorithms and data structures/ design patterns
• Passion for Agile software development practices such as test-driven development, pair programming, etc.
• Experience with relational databases, non-relational databases, cloud environments and cloud deployment technology (Terraform, Kubernetes, Helm)

Bonus Points If

• Working knowledge of ML frameworks such as TFX, Kubeflow, and MLflow
• Data Science knowledge and familiarity with ML libraries such as Pandas, Scikit, Tensorflow, xgboost, Keras
• Prior experience with cloud provider (GCP is a plus)
