We are seeking a versatile and experienced Engineer to join our team, focusing primarily on backend development with a strong emphasis on geospatial data integration and reporting. You will be crucial in maintaining and developing new APIs, managing databases, and integrating complex datasets from multiple partners to generate a high volume of automated reports.

- Ensure data sets are operational and update reports based on customer requests, including changes to columns or fields.
- Incorporate report variations into a pull-down menu for scalability and ease of access.
- Collaborate closely with team members to understand business needs and translate them into technical solutions.
- Communicate technical limitations, suggest alternative solutions, and understand the business case behind development tasks.
- Handle internal data normalization in urgent cases, following established patterns for consistency.
- Feed backend data into reporting tools like Metabase or Looker Studio, often in the form of formatted CSVs for static outputs.
- Troubleshoot and resolve issues such as API timeouts and incomplete data uploads from campaign partners.
- Track and troubleshoot weekly programmatic campaigns involving nearly 1,000 grocery stores, monitoring metrics and dynamic reporting.
