Data Engineer Brazil
Indexed description
Description
We are seeking an experienced Data Engineer. The ideal candidate is self-motivated, a multitasker, and a demonstrated team player. You will be responsible for designing, developing, managing, and maintaining our open-source data platform, including our Data-Lakehouse (S3, Apache Iceberg, and ClickHouse), ETL processes, and orchestration tool (Temporal Workflow).
What You Will Do
- Develop a scalable data platform integrating multiple sources for easy access.
- Design and enhance data tools (orchestration, governance, Data-Lakehouse, BI, etc.).
- Ensure smooth operation of data systems for analysts, scientists, and engineers.
- Optimize data pipelines (ingestion, processing, and output) in a microservices environment.
- Build, maintain, and monitor ETL/ELT processes and orchestrate workflows using Temporal.
- Troubleshoot and improve the performance, scalability, and reliability of the data infrastructure (S3, Apache Iceberg, ClickHouse).
- Collaborate cross-functionally with data scientists, analysts, and backend engineers to understand data needs and deliver solutions.
- Implement and champion data quality, governance, and security best practices across the platform.
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience as a Data Engineer or in a similar data infrastructure role.
- Strong proficiency in SQL and hands-on experience with data modeling.
- Experience with data lake/lakehouse architectures (e.g., Apache Iceberg, S3, or similar).
- Experience with analytical / columnar databases (e.g., ClickHouse or similar).
- Experience building and orchestrating ETL/ELT pipelines (e.g., Temporal, Airflow, or similar).
- Strong programming skills in Python and/or Scala/Java.
- Experience working within a microservices architecture and cloud environments (AWS preferred).
- Self-motivated, strong multitasking skills, and a demonstrated team player.
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively.
- Hands-on experience with Apache Spark (or similar technologies) for large-scale data processing.
- Professional proficiency in written and spoken English.
- Note: this role is focused on batch data processing (not real-time streaming).
Nice to Have
- Experience working with and contributing to open-source data platforms and tools.
- Familiarity with BI and visualization tools (e.g., Superset, Looker, Tableau, Metabase, or similar).
- Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
- Experience with infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD practices.
- Experience with AWS EMR and running Apache Spark workloads in a cloud environment.
- Experience leveraging AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or similar) to boost engineering productivity.
