ABOUT THE ROLE

In near real time, Cisco Meraki collects massive amounts of data from its devices all over the world. We write nearly 8 million data points each second globally every day. With this data, we help to power Dashboard and allow our customers insight into the state of their networks. As a member of the Data Infrastructure team, you will develop, scale, and maintain our dashboard and the lower-layer ETL pipelines that power it. You will work with many different people within Engineering and throughout Cisco Meraki to help build the infrastructure and data pipelines to power their data-driven decisions. You will also help scale our systems to handle ever increasing amounts of data points and requests.

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

• Design, build, and maintain scalable data pipelines that ingest all the data that runs our dashboard.
• Build systems that process raw data and create intuitive and interesting insights for our customers.
