Recommendation Systems:

  • Implement and refine recommendation algorithms (e.g., collaborative filtering, content-based, and hybrid approaches) to enhance relevancy.
  • Use similarity search libraries like Annoy or Faiss to optimise recommendation speed and accuracy.
  • Continuously evaluate recommendation logic to better serve user preferences, ensuring real-time delivery.

Data Aggregation and Analysis:

  • Aggregate, analyses, and process user interaction data to support recommendations and trending content.
  • Design efficient queries and implement aggregation methods to capture relevant data and insights for recommendations.

Debugging and Optimization:

  • Optimize queries, processing workflows, and containerized services for high performance and scalability within AWS ECS.

Requirements:

  • Proven experience as a Data Engineer or Backend Engineer, with a focus on recommendation systems.
  • Proficient in SQL and database management, especially with PostgreSQL and JSONB for structured data handling.
  • Solid understanding of recommendation algorithms (collaborative filtering, content-based, hybrid approaches).
  • Experience with similarity search libraries such as Annoy or Faiss.
  • Strong programming skills in Python, with experience in building backend logic for data-intensive applications in a containerized environment.
  • Familiarity with AWS ECS for container management, including task scheduling and scaling.
  • Experience using AWS Event Bridge to trigger workflows or automate tasks in response to application events.
  • Analytical skills for data aggregation, querying, and insights generation.
  • Strong debugging and optimization skills for handling large-scale data processing in cloud-based environments.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Knowledge of data aggregation pipelines, ETL processes, and data handling at scale.
  • Familiarity with additional AWS services (e.g., S3, Lambda) for data storage and event-driven architectures.
  • Experience with machine learning libraries or tools used in recommendation systems.

Compensation:

This is an equity-only position, offering a unique opportunity to gain a stake in a rapidly growing company and contribute directly to its success.
