Were looking for an experienced Data Engineer to join our Networking Cluster Solutions (NCS) group and help shape the data backbone behind our advanced R&D telemetry and performance analytics ecosystem.
In this role, youll design, build, and maintain scalable, high-performance data pipelines that handle massive volumes of real-time telemetry data from hardware, communication modules, firmware, and large-scale AI and HPC clusters.
Youll work in a cutting-edge environment that combines software, hardware, and data infrastructure driving the next generation of our cluster performance and monitoring technologies.
The NCS group builds and operates some of our Israels most advanced AI and HPC clusters, optimizing networking and compute performance at scale.
What youll be doing:
Define and execute the groups data technical roadmap, aligning with R&D, hardware, and DevOps teams.
Design and maintain flexible ETL/ELT frameworks for ingesting, transforming, and classifying telemetry and performance data.
Build and optimize streaming pipelines using Apache Spark, Kafka, and Databricks, ensuring high throughput, reliability, and adaptability to evolving data schemas.
Implement and maintain observability and data quality standards, including schema validation, lineage tracking, and metadata management.
Develop monitoring and alerting for pipeline health using Prometheus, Grafana, or Datadog.
Support self-service analytics for engineers and researchers via Databricks notebooks, APIs, and curated datasets.
Promote best practices in data modeling, code quality, security, and operational excellence across the organization.
Deliver reliable insights for cluster performance analysis, telemetry visibility, and end-to-end test coverage.
Requirements: What we need to see:
B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
5+ years of hands-on experience in data engineering or backend development.
Strong practical experience with Apache Spark (PySpark or Scala) and Databricks.
Expertise with Apache Kafka, including stream ingestion, schema registry, and event processing.
Proficiency in Python and SQL for data transformation, automation, and pipeline logic.
Familiarity with ETL orchestration tools (Airflow, Prefect, or Dagster).
Experience with schema evolution, data versioning, and validation frameworks (Delta Lake, Iceberg, or Great Expectations).
Solid understanding of cloud environments (AWS preferred; GCP or Azure also relevant).
Knowledge of streaming and telemetry data architectures in large-scale, distributed systems.
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
Exposure to hardware, firmware, or embedded telemetry environments.
Experience with real-time analytics frameworks (Spark Structured Streaming, Flink, Kafka Streams).
Experience with data cataloging or governance tools (DataHub, Collibra, or Alation).
Familiarity with CI/CD for data pipelines and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, GitHub Actions).
Experience designing performance metrics data systems (latency, throughput, resource utilization) that support high-volume, high-frequency telemetry at scale.
This position is open to all candidates.
