Big Data Engineer

As a Big Data Engineer at Tavily, you’ll work at the heart of our systems, shaping the data backbone that powers real-time AI agents. From managing billions of records across NoSQL and SQL databases to optimizing high-throughput pipelines, your work will help our models think faster, our agents act smarter, and our users get answers in real time.

What You’ll Do:
Design and build scalable, production-grade data pipelines using Airflow, dbt, and PySpark.
Architect and manage large-scale Data Lakes / Delta Lakes.
Work with big data processing frameworks to handle massive datasets efficiently.
Manage and optimize data storage across modern table formats (Iceberg, Delta) and warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift).
Operate across a wide range of NoSQL systems such as MongoDB, Redis, and Neo4j.
Deploy and scale data infrastructure in the cloud.

What We’re Looking For:
Proven experience building scalable data pipelines and infrastructure.
Strong background in big data ecosystems and distributed systems.
Experience in data lake architecture and table format management.
Comfort working across multiple types of databases (both SQL and NoSQL).
Familiarity with DevOps for data, including containerization (Docker), CI/CD for data pipelines.
Experience with cloud-native architectures, (AWS , GCP or Azure is a plus).
Bonus: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.

What Kind of Engineer Thrives Here:
Moves fast, breaks bottlenecks, and loves getting their hands dirty.
Embraces changing requirements and is motivated by real-world impact.
Thrives in high-ownership, zero-handoff environments. You build it, you run it.
