Senior Software Engineer - Core Data Platform

About this Role
As we continue to grow at CloudZero, we are looking for a Senior Software Engineer specializing in data to join our core data platform team. This team is responsible for building and maintaining the architecture at the heart of our product, focusing on backend data processing, storage, and optimization.

The ideal candidate is passionate about designing scalable data structures, optimizing data performance, and developing robust data pipelines. In this role, you will work on data modeling, pipeline optimization, and query performance to support analytics and business intelligence. You will also collaborate closely with engineers and business teams to ensure efficient data storage, processing, and accessibility across our platform.

If you thrive on solving complex data challenges, enjoy optimizing systems for scalability and performance, and love answering questions no one has asked yet, this might be the perfect role for you.

Responsibilities

  • Design and optimize scalable data models, queries, and storage solutions to improve performance and efficiency

  • Maintain and enhance a custom-built query engine, ensuring optimal performance and flexibility

  • Build for scale as we onboard customers with larger datasets and increasingly complex analytical needs

  • Collaborate with engineers and business stakeholders to develop data-driven features that solve real customer problems

  • Continuously improve our engineering processes and data infrastructure to enable rapid development and iteration

Requirements

  • Proficiency in SQL and experience working with cloud-based databases and data storage solutions (e.g., AWS Redshift, Snowflake, BigQuery)

  • Hands-on experience building and optimizing ETL pipelines and frameworks

  • Deep understanding of data modeling principles and data warehouse design for analytics

  • Strong problem-solving and debugging skills, especially in large-scale data environments

  • Ability to communicate complex data concepts effectively to business stakeholders and cross-functional teams

Nice to Haves

  • Exposure to machine learning pipelines and model deployment in data environments

  • Proficiency in scripting languages (e.g., Python, Spark) for data processing

  • Experience with Snowflake data stores, AWS Step Functions, and AWS Lambda

About CloudZero
Cloud cost management is one of the biggest challenges organizations face today. As cloud adoption continues to accelerate, so do the complexities and costs associated with it - and macroeconomic conditions only increase pressure to prove cloud efficiency. That’s why we built CloudZero: a SaaS platform at the intersection of next-generation cloud cost management and FinOps. CloudZero ingests billing and usage data from all cloud, SaaS, and PaaS providers, organizes it in real time according to our customers’ business structures, lets customers view it at any level of time or resource granularity, and ultimately empowers them to make more informed business decisions.

Since our founding in 2016, our mission has been to make efficient innovation a reality for every cloud-driven organization. At CloudZero, we believe every engineering decision is a buying decision, yet the cost conversation often bypasses the engineers who drive those determinations. To solve this, we’ve built a dynamic, single-page application that answers the complex, data-heavy questions every cloud-based organization needs to ask if they want to grow their company profitably.

To date, we’ve raised over %52 million from leading venture capital firms across the country. We’re solving problems of massive scale, business importance, and complexity in a space that needs it more than ever. We’re growing rapidly and would love for you to be a part of it.
