About Our Team
The Data Governance & Foundations team at Instacart is responsible for developing and maintaining the foundational systems that drive our comprehensive data ecosystem. This includes managing a modern data lakehouse at scale, encompassing data ingestion, stream processing, analytical computing, and self-service tools. As a part of a collaborative group of 6-7 engineers, you will ensure the reliability of our production platform while architecting the future infrastructure that will sustain our operations for the next 3-5 years.
This role offers high ownership and autonomy. You will be tasked with making architectural decisions that have both technical and financial implications, requiring you to lead initiatives rather than just execute them. Collaboration with engineering leaders and cross-functional teams in Data Science, ML Platform, Ads Infrastructure, Finance Engineering, and senior stakeholders will be key to your success.
