Ookla’s complementary datasets combine crowdsourced and controlled, public and private collection methods, QoS and QoE metrics, and more to unlock correlations and actionable insights — helping organizations optimize networks, enhance digital experiences, and create better connected experiences for end-users.

Millions of consumer-initiated tests are performed through our products and billions of data points are collected globally every day. With all this measurement comes countless ways to dissect and analyze our data, and plenty of exciting opportunities to optimize our broader strategy. When you work for us, you are using Ookla data and insights to further our mission to improve connectivity for all. Join us in making the internet better for everyone

Intro to the Role

We’re looking for a Principal Architect to join the Ookla Architecture and Design team. As a principal architect, you will create solutions that help turn the world’s most comprehensive dataset on mobile and fixed internet performance into valuable insights for our customers.

You will work across all product engineering teams to design and implement scalable and economical systems driving both our platform and critical product features. Your designs will be expected to not only meet both our end users' and internal stakeholders' requirements, but also interface well with existing systems and be well-documented to allow the owning team to maintain and extend it.

You will also work with Research Data Scientists and Product managers to build out proofs-of-concept solutions to validate hypotheses about novel data insights and products.

The right applicant has hands-on skills and attitude, a strong technical background in software and architecture, and excellent collaboration and communication skills. Experience in AI and ML is a plus.

We are committed to providing you a flexible work environment where individuality, fun, and talent are all valued equally. If you consider yourself innovative, adept at collaboration, and you care deeply about the work you do, we want to talk

Expectations for Success
  • You collaborate closely with product managers, data and research scientists, and engineering teams to understand system requirements
  • You turn product requirements to highly scalable, highly-available system architectures that serve key parts of, and are designed to grow with, the Ookla business
  • You help implement architectures to spec quickly and correctly, in close collaboration with the engineering team that will own it, and make sure engineers have all the resources and background they need to extend and maintain the system
  • You create, build consensus for, communicate, and execute architectural and technological roadmaps
  • You plan and execute migrations off of complex legacy systems while keeping availability high, costs low, and the customer experience uninterrupted
  • You establish policies and follow best practices to ensure durability, quality, security, and compliance
  • You stay up to date with industry developments to keep the engineering team informed and to continuously improve the tech stack
  • You are enthusiastic about mentoring and guiding junior team members, helping them understand architectural principles, best practices, and effective ways of working
Requirements

We are looking for the right person, not the exact list of requirements. If you believe your life experience has prepared you for similar challenges, we’d like to hear from you.

  • Bachelor's or master’s degree in computer science or related field, or equivalent experience
  • Strong background in object oriented and functional programming using languages like Python, Go, and Typescript
  • Experience designing for observability and to avoid the common pitfalls of distributed systems
  • Strong hands-on experience with AWS Cloud including serverless and streaming services
  • Excellent troubleshooting and analysis skills
  • Working knowledge of SQL and databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redshift, DynamoDB
  • Excited to learn and work with new technologies in a dynamic environment
  • Strong communication skills both in person and via virtual mediums
  • Strong time management skills and a self driven work ethic
  • Experience with event driven architecture and streaming data pipelines is a plus
  • Experience with big data systems and technologies such as Trino, Spark, Iceberg, etc. is a plus
  • Background check is required
