Expanding the Data Engineering Toolkit at Reddit
from The Data Flowcast: Mastering Apache Airflow ® for Data Engineering and AI · host Astronomer
Welcome back to the Airflow Podcast. This week, we met up with Ben Wisegarver, a staff data scientist at Reddit who runs their data warehousing and data engineering functions. Reddit users generate petabytes of data every day that needs to be processed, stored, and analyzed by a wide breadth of backend services. Our conversation with Ben touches on everything from Airflow as a tool for career mobility across the data stack to scaling out a self-service data architecture across many teams. For folks interested, our team at Astronomer is growing rapidly and we're on the hunt for new folks to join in a variety of different roles. If you're passionate about Airflow and interested in building the future of data engineering, please get in touch. You can check our current job postings at careers.astronomer.io, but we're constantly updating our listings to accommodate new hiring needs.
