Who We Are:

Wayfair runs the largest custom e-commerce large parcel network in the United States, approximately 1.6 million square meters of logistics space. The nature of the network is inherently a highly variable ecosystem that requires flexible, reliable, and resilient systems to operate efficiently. 

We are looking for a passionate Data Engineer to join the Developer Platform Insights team. Developer Platform Insights is responsible for providing the entire technology organization with curated, analytics-ready data products for cloud cost management, incident management, developer productivity, and platform usage. We own the full data lifecycle within our space from extraction of data from cloud providers, infrastructure, and third party vendors through to standardized reports for leadership and data exploration tooling using Looker. Our efforts allow the technology organization to optimize its use of the cloud, improve the stability of Wayfair’s customer and supplier websites, and remove bottlenecks across the software development lifecycle.

In this role you will be working with individuals inside and outside your immediate team to build data products that provide insight into developer platform health and performance at Wayfair. The individual will need to collaborate with multiple teams to build sophisticated data pipelines and address stakeholder knowledge problems. As part of our team, you will be solving complex problems that have a direct impact on the entire technology organization and our end-customers.

If you love to solve real business problems at scale, in a fast-paced, high growth, and agile environment, this is the role for you.
