What We Do: 

At Treasure Data, our mission is to radically simplify how companies use data to create connected customer experiences. Our sophisticated cloud-based customer data platform drives operational efficiency across the enterprise to deliver powerful business outcomes in a safe, flexible, and secure way. With Treasure Data Customer Data Cloud, companies can responsibly collect and understand massive amounts of data, transform their businesses, and create new, targeted experiences across the entire buying journey. We are proud to be InfoWorld’s 2022 “Technology of the Year” Award winner and trusted by leading companies around the world, spanning the Fortune 500 and Global 2000 enterprises.

Treasure Data builds a programmable platform to efficiently enable and scale customer-centric data platform applications across various verticals, from automotive to CPG and finance. We are looking for an experienced, innovative, customer-obsessed software engineer to join our Real-Time group to enhance and maintain the Real-Time platfom’s API components. If you're passionate about leveraging technology to drive customer engagement and innovation, apply now to be part of our dynamic team and shape the future of customer experiences!

Responsibilities

• Join a team of Ruby on Rails engineers building critical infrastructure APIs supporting our new Real-Time platform. You will be working on APIs that take UI-focused business logic, transform and validate it, then deploy and configure the various resources used to power the user’s business application. Additionally you’ll work on related APIs such as data access and data routing for the platform.
• Lead the team by implementing technical plans for product objectives, engage cross-functionally with other teams to produce solutions, and work with our product owners to refine business requirements based on technical feedback.

Qualifications

• A BS or higher in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent work experience.
  • You’ll need to be able to reason deeply about implementation tradeoffs, not just with packaged technologies, but occasionally on the level of classical computer science problems, as well as prioritize solutions based around a matrix of reasons—beyond technical merit alone. 
  • Bonus points if you have experience with implementing transpilers, complicated data transformation logic or validation logic.
• 8+ years of consistent track record with software development in one or more programming languages (e.g., Ruby, Java, Python, Kotlin, Scala).
  • We use Rails and some Kotlin, but there is no previous experience required for either—however you should have proven success with your language of choice. 
• Proven experience leading and contributing to technical discussions. You should be unafraid to engage with leaders and other stakeholders in both the requirements gathering process, but also iteratively to help drive the overall team forward with both written requirements, synchronous meetings and whatever other artifacts are required.
• You have the ability to be objective and impartial around technical implementations, and are humble when it comes to helping drive the team forward.
• You understand the software development life cycle and can reason about code in a continuous deployment environment. Experience with implementing deployment pipelines and feature flagging is helpful.
• Familiar with security standard methodologies and pitfalls—security matters for our clients, and we need to ensure that we support our users without incidents.
• Experience with distributed teams across different time zones and strategies for handling the associated challenges is a major plus.

Physical Requirements:

• Must be able to work in the Tokyo office 3 times a week.
