Position Overview:

We’re looking for a Senior Data Engineer to help scale our data platform and deliver reliable, high-quality data services to both internal teams and external customers.

What You'll Own:

• Design and implement scalable ETL pipelines using Apache Spark and related technologies.
• Build robust data services to support multiple internal teams, including product and analytics.
• Architect end-to-end data solutions and translate them into actionable engineering plans.
• Maintain clean, reliable data interfaces for microservices and systems requiring accurate, timely data.
• Collaborate closely with product teams to understand data needs and co-create solutions.
• Ensure observability, data quality, and pipeline reliability through monitoring and automated validation.
• Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and mentor less experienced engineers.

Requirements

• 6+ years of experience building and maintaining production-grade ETL pipelines.
• Hands-on experience with orchestration tools such as Databricks, Airflow, dbt, or similar.
• Proven ability to design systems that support diverse data consumers with varying SLAs.
• Deep understanding of data modeling, distributed systems, and cloud infrastructure.
• Strong background in Apache Spark (PySpark or Scala).
• Familiarity with microservices architectures and clean API/data contracts.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills — you're proactive, approachable, and solution-oriented.
• Ability to think in systems: conceptualize high-level architecture and break it into components.

Nice to Have

• Knowledge of data governance, lineage, and observability best practices.
• Experience with real-time streaming technologies (e.g., Kafka, Flink).
• Exposure to DevOps practices for data systems, including CI/CD, monitoring, and infrastructure-as-code.
• Previous experience developing customer-facing data products or analytics tools.
