Senior Data Engineer/ Remote / PySpark

A well-known data aggregation company is seeking a Senior Data Engineer to join their engineering team on. The company builds large-scale platforms that ingest, normalize, and connect data from thousands of sources, powering analytics, machine learning, and customer-facing products. The role is heavily focused on PySpark, AWS EMR, distributed data processing, API development, and data systems that support modern ML and LLM-driven workflows.

This is a chance to work on high-impact data systems at serious scale. The team is looking for a senior engineer who enjoys tackling messy data problems, shaping architecture, and collaborating closely with ML and product teams. The #1 draw of this role is ownership. You'll have real influence over pipeline design, data quality, and how aggregated data is used across SEO, search, and customer interaction use cases. Engineers here grow by solving non-trivial problems, learning modern MLOps practices, and working in a balanced, low-meeting environment that values deep focus.
