About The Team
The Data Platform team is responsible for making the vast amounts of data at Fitbit accessible to teams across the organization. They are also responsible for supporting the compute layer on top of the data which enables clients of the platform to build features and perform analysis on that data.
They spend their time working with internal clients like product managers, data scientists, data analysts and other software engineers to understand their data needs and build scalable solutions.
Currently they leverage a lot of open source technology like Spark, Hive, Kafka, Airflow and more. However, they also believe that Fitbit has a lot of unique problems that require them to think creatively outside of what the open source world can provide.
What You’ll Work On
As a member of the Fitbit Data Platform team you get to play a few different roles:
Architect : They own the data platform which supports all of their analytics, data science, and data applications.
Developer : They write lots of code. You’ll be writing high-performance software that’s responsible for moving data between their various data storage tiers.
Consultant : We work closely with the data providers and data consumers to ensure their needs are met. We are only successful if our clients are successful.
Leader : They need to be vocal about their experiences to internal teams as well as the outside world through blog posts, presentations and open source contributions.
