ABOUT THE ROLE
We are looking for a Senior Data Engineer to architect, build, and scale a modern data platform — designing production-grade ETL/ELT pipelines, optimizing Snowflake data warehouse schemas, and establishing robust DataOps practices. You will orchestrate workflows using Airflow, Prefect, or Dagster, implement data quality and lineage frameworks, integrate third-party REST APIs and event-driven sources, and apply software engineering standards including CI/CD, Docker, and automated testing to data repositories. The role prioritizes clean, well-tested Python code and a deep commitment to data reliability and accessibility.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
- Data Pipeline Development: Design, build, and maintain reliable, scalable ETL/ELT workflows that process batch and streaming data from diverse sources.
- Data Warehousing & Modeling: Design efficient, production-ready schemas (normalized and denormalized) in Snowflake to optimize query performance and enable enterprise analytics.
- API & Event Integration: Connect and ingest data from third-party REST APIs, event-driven streams, and batch sources into core data storage platforms.
- Orchestration: Maintain and expand workflow orchestration pipelines using modern tools (Airflow, Prefect, or Dagster).
- Data Quality & Observability: Implement automated testing, validation, lineage tracking, and proactive alerting frameworks to guarantee data accuracy and system uptime.
- DataOps & Engineering Standards: Drive CI/CD best practices, maintain code bases using Git and Docker, and adopt basic Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) patterns.
- Code Excellence: Apply modern software engineering standards—including design patterns, automated unit/integration testing, and clear documentation—to data repositories.
MUST HAVES
- 4+ years of experience as a Data Engineer.
- Core Python Fundamentals: Demonstrable expertise writing modular, maintainable, and well-tested Python code (OOP/functional patterns, package management, standard testing frameworks).
- Advanced SQL & Modeling: Deep knowledge of complex SQL queries, query optimization, database design principles, and normalization/denormalization patterns.
- Data Warehousing: Solid, hands-on experience building, managing, and optimizing data architectures within Snowflake.
- Workflow Orchestration: Production experience using workflow orchestration engines like Apache Airflow, Prefect, or Dagster.
- Integrations & Ingestion: Hands-on experience working with REST APIs, event-driven architectures, and both batch and streaming pipelines.
- Data Quality & Lineage: Experience building automated data quality checks, data lineage, and alerting mechanisms (e.g., using tools like dbt test, Great Expectations, or similar).
- DevOps / DataOps Practices: Strong skills in version control (Git), containerization (Docker), CI/CD automation, and familiarity with Infrastructure-as-Code basics.
- Upper-intermediate English level.
NICE TO HAVES
- Experience with dbt (data build tool) for data transformations.
- Familiarity with major cloud providers (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
- Exposure to message streaming tech like Apache Kafka or AWS Kinesis.
PERKS AND BENEFITS
- Growth without limits: build your skills through mentorship, internal TechTalks, challenging projects, and a dedicated annual learning budget
- Competitive compensation: get recognition that reflects your skills and impact, with regular performance and compensation reviews
- Flexibility: work 100% remotely with flexible hours that support focus, autonomy, and a healthy work rhythm
- Meaningful, modern projects: build impactful products using modern technologies alongside global teams and leading brands
- Collaborative culture: join a supportive environment with zero micromanagement where ideas are welcomed and contributions are recognized
