Software Data Engineer

Kyyba Inc is hiring an early-career Software Data Engineer for an onsite role in Fuquay-Varina, NC. This hands-on position focuses on building internal tooling, automating job orchestration, and keeping CI/CD pipelines running reliably, working closely with vehicle data engineers and analysts to improve day-to-day team productivity.

You’ll contribute to a practical engineering workflow: designing automation that reduces manual steps, improving deployment reliability through GitHub CI/CD, and enabling data workflows through Databricks scheduling and orchestration. The work is described as heads-down engineering with meaningful impact on how the team ships and operates.

What You’ll Do

• Design, build, and maintain internal tooling that supports team data workflows and reduces manual effort.
• Own and improve GitHub CI/CD pipelines to support reliable, repeatable deployments.
• Develop and manage automated Databricks job orchestration and workflow scheduling.
• Collaborate with data engineers to support pipeline development on an as-needed basis.
• Write clear documentation for tooling, processes, and automation solutions.
• Support repo management, including participation in code reviews, maintaining software quality standards, and contributing to team engineering practices.
• Develop or consume REST APIs to connect internal systems or trigger automated workflows.

What You’ll Bring

• 2+ years of professional software development experience, including internships or co-op roles.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a closely related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• Demonstrated ability to write clean, maintainable Python code.
• Experience working in a collaborative Git-based development workflow.
• Experience identifying business needs and developing recommendations and solutions.
• Python: 2 years (Required)
• GitHub: 2 years (Required)
• SQL: 2 years (Required)

Skills and Tools

Your work will center on Python, GitHub, and SQL, alongside CI/CD and orchestration tooling. Experience with GitHub Actions, Databricks (and possibly Snowflake), and workflow orchestration concepts will be important. Familiarity with VS Code and GitHub Copilot is also expected.

• Python, Git, GitHub, GitHub Actions, CI/CD
• Databricks, Snowflake, workflow orchestration and scheduling
• SQL, basic ETL/data engineering concepts
• REST APIs in Python, including FastAPI, Flask, and requests
• Databricks Asset Bundles, Docker/containers, Delta Lake, Parquet
• Exposure to CAN bus and telematics is listed as a strong plus

Nice to Have
