Full Job Description
What You'll Do

At Trader Interactive, we're building the next generation of consumer data products - and AI is at the heart of it. We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer who doesn't just implement but helps shape how they should work: interrogating requirements, validating approaches with data, and delivering experiences that directly serve our product ambitions. You'll work closely with our Senior Product Manager and cross-functional teams, translating complex consumer data needs into infrastructure that is scalable, governed, and built to last.
  • Cloud architecture. Design and implement highly scalable, cost-effective systems using cloud technologies such as Databricks, AWS, Azure, GCP, and similar platforms.
  • Evidence-based design. Contribute to the product discovery process by benchmarking approaches, validating assumptions with data, and recommending solutions grounded in evidence rather than convention.
  • Data pipeline development. Build and maintain robust data pipelines using DAGs, Databricks, Apache Airflow, and Snowflake (and similar) to index and process large consumer datasets.
  • Code optimizations. Tune performance and relevance through query optimization, caching, and schema design.
  • API development. Design, develop, and maintain RESTful APIs that expose functionality to downstream clients and teams.
  • Observability and benchmarking. Implement monitoring and logging to track system health; conduct regular performance benchmarks and communicate findings clearly to product and business stakeholders.
  • Cross-team collaboration. Work across many competing priorities and teams, contributing to rollout planning and helping ensure engineering decisions align with product strategy and business cases.

What We're Looking For
  • Strong proficiency in Python, R, SQL, cloud development, and AI frameworks.
  • Experience building and maintaining data pipelines and workflow orchestration tools (e.g., Apache Airflow).
  • Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and software design patterns.
  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
  • Experience with data governance practices and handling of private or sensitive consumer data.


So come and join our team - because every role is a big role in our plans to go big.
