About hirevault
hirevault is a global leader in sustainable transportation and energy solutions, pioneering the next generation of electric vehicles, autonomous driving technology, and smart energy infrastructure. Our mission is to accelerate the world’s transition to zero‑emission mobility by building products that are safe, efficient, and innovative. With a culture rooted in curiosity, collaboration, and relentless improvement, hirevault empowers engineers, data scientists, and product specialists to turn massive streams of data into actionable insights that shape the future of mobility.
Why This Role Matters
Data is the lifeblood of hirevault’s products. From every vehicle on the road to every Supercharger station and home energy system, terabytes of telemetry flow into our cloud‑native data platform every day. The Fleet Analytics team transforms this raw data into intelligence that fuels autopilot enhancements, hardware design optimizations, fault detection, and grid‑load balancing. As a Senior Remote Data Engineer, you will be at the core of this transformation, building robust data pipelines, analytical tools, and self‑service platforms that enable engineers across the company to make data‑driven decisions at scale.
Key Responsibilities
- Architect and maintain end‑to‑end data pipelines that ingest, process, and store petabytes of fleet telemetry using AWS, S3, Apache Spark, and Trino.
- Collaborate with cross‑functional stakeholders—including vehicle engineers, firmware developers, and mechanical designers—to translate product requirements into scalable data solutions.
- Design and deliver reusable data products (libraries, APIs, and notebooks) that empower engineers to perform self‑service analytics without deep data‑engineering expertise.
- Implement best‑practice data‑engineering standards across the organization, ensuring code quality, reproducibility, and operational reliability.
- Develop advanced analytics using open‑source tools such as Jupyter, Pandas, Bokeh, Superset, and Airflow to surface insights from massive datasets.
- Build and monitor metrics that track data pipeline health, latency, and accuracy, proactively identifying and resolving performance bottlenecks.
- Write clean, testable, and well‑documented code that can be handed off to other software engineers for ongoing maintenance and feature expansion.
- Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a culture of continuous learning, knowledge sharing, and technical excellence.
- Occasionally partner with specialized teams (mechanical, electrical, firmware) to co‑design data‑driven solutions that improve vehicle performance and reliability.
Essential Qualifications
- 7+ years of professional software development experience, preferably in data‑intensive environments.
- Expertise in Python and SQL, with a proven track record of building production‑grade data applications.
- Hands‑on experience with big‑data processing engines such as Apache Spark and query engines like Trino/Presto.
- Proficiency with data‑science libraries and tools: Pandas, NumPy, R, MATLAB, or Octave.
- Demonstrated ability to design, implement, and maintain complex data pipelines and data products in a production setting.
- Strong foundation in statistics and the ability to translate statistical findings into clear business recommendations.
- Experience creating compelling data visualizations that communicate insights to both technical and non‑technical audiences.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts clearly.
- Problem‑solving mindset with a bias for action, humility, and a collaborative spirit.
Preferred (Nice‑to‑Have) Skills
- Proficiency in Scala or other JVM languages.
- Deep understanding of distributed computing concepts, including HDFS, Spark internals, and query engine optimization.
- Experience with DevOps tooling such as Linux, Ansible, Docker, Kubernetes for continuous integration and deployment.
- Background in working with complex hardware systems and telemetry data.
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and release management in a data‑engineering context.
Core Skills & Competencies
- Technical Leadership: Ability to set technical direction, enforce standards, and influence engineering culture across multiple teams.
- Data Modeling: Skilled at designing schemas that balance performance, scalability, and ease of use.
- Algorithmic Thinking: Comfortable developing and optimizing algorithms for data transformation, aggregation, and feature extraction.
- Collaboration: Proven experience working in matrixed environments, building strong relationships with product, engineering, and research stakeholders.
- Adaptability: Thrive in a fast‑moving, high‑impact environment where priorities shift based on product needs.
