Senior Data Software Engineer

Life at Plume

At Plume, we believe that technology isn't about moving faster, it's about making life’s moments better. Which is why we’ve built the world's first, and only, open and hardware-independent service delivery platform for smart homes, small businesses, enterprises, and beyond. Our SaaS platform uses WiFi, advanced AI, and machine learning to create the future of connected spaces—and human experiences—at massive scale.

We now deliver services to over 60 million locations globally and have managed over 3 billion devices on our platform. We’re expanding rapidly, pioneering a new category, and we achieved our Series F funding in just four years. Our customers include many of the world's largest Internet Service Providers (ISPs) who look to Plume to help them evolve their smart home offerings while gleaning insights from their own data. 

With a bias for action and a love for being trailblazers, the team at Plume embodies a combination of relentless curiosity and imaginative innovation. We challenge ourselves to think in ways that other companies don't, work to do what should be done (rather than what can), and if we can’t do it exceptionally well, we don’t do it. It’s how we've assembled a team of world-class builders, thinkers, and doers. And it’s how we’re reinventing what’s possible every day.

Plume’s Data Services team is looking for engineers to build and operate data pipelines that power the gamut of Plume products and analytics.

• Refactor code as needed to improve performance and simplify operations


• Provide production support in triaging and fixing issues relating to data quality and availability


• Mentor and assist junior team members and new hires to become successful and productive


• Adhere to data protection requirements including data access, retention, residency and de-identification


• Play an integral role in driving the technology roadmap and enhancing best practices

What You’ll Bring

• 5+ years of software development experience with a proven track record of building, scaling, and supporting production data pipelines


• High proficiency in writing idiomatic code, preferably in Java or Scala


• High proficiency in writing SQL in data warehousing technologies


• Strong understanding of large-scale data processing technologies, e.g. Apache Spark (preferred) or Apache Flink

About Plume

As the creator of the only open, hardware-independent, cloud-controlled experience platform for ISPs and their subscribers, Plume partners with over 400 ISP customers, including some of the world’s largest such as Comcast, Charter, Liberty Global, and J:COM. 

Using OpenSync, the most widely supported open-source, silicon-to-cloud framework for smart spaces, Plume’s software-defined network allows ISPs to decouple their service offerings from hardware and rapidly curate and deliver new services over a multi-vendor, open-platform architecture.
