About The Role

As a Data Engineer, you will own the end-to-end design and execution of our data architecture, directly impacting how our financial systems scale.

• Implement robust data governance standards, including testing frameworks, data cataloging, and clear data lineage.
• Partner with analysts, engineers, and business leaders to align data delivery with critical commercial goals.
• Deploy scalable infrastructure updates using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools within our cloud environment.

What we’re looking for

We are looking for a structured, proactive professional who thrives on driving technical alignment and building scalable frameworks. You take initiative to champion engineering best practices, understanding that data reliability and clear cross-functional communication are vital to our velocity.

Qualifications

• Several years of professional experience in data engineering, building and optimizing production-grade data pipelines.
• Strong proficiency in Python and SQL, with deep experience in schema design and dimensional modeling.
• Hands-on experience with modern data warehousing tools, ideally Redshift, and cloud platforms like AWS.
• Experience with modern analytics engineering workflows, such as dbt, alongside Git and data quality monitoring frameworks.
• Academic background in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
