Data Engineer - Tech Lead

About Digibee

Digibee is an iPaaS that scales integration workflows while reducing cost and technical debt. Rather than require specialized integration experts, Digibee lets every developer quickly build, test, deploy, govern, and monitor integrations across on-premise and cloud environments using a simple but powerful low-code interface.

Founded in São Paulo, Brazil, in 2017 and headquartered in Weston, Florida, our team is widely distributed throughout the Americas. In May of 2023, Digibee closed a Series B funding round of $60 million that is intended to drive our expansion in the United States.

About the role

Join our growing team as a Lead Data Engineer and architect the data backbone that powers Digibee business intelligence. In this high-impact role, you will take on a pivotal role in designing, building, and managing Digibee’s internal data platform. This hands-on position requires both deep technical expertise and leadership capability, with responsibility for shaping our data architecture, developing scalable data solutions, and driving the strategic use of data across the organization. You will lead the end-to-end data product lifecycle, from planning and development to operational maintenance, ensuring that our data systems are robust, compliant, and cost-effective. As a technical leader within our lean data team, you’ll set best practices, guide your engineering partner in execution, deliver impactful data solutions that align with Digibee’s strategic objectives, and integrate FinOps principles to build efficient and cost-conscious data pipelines leveraging Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and best-in-class SaaS tools. If you thrive in shaping data strategy while staying close to the code and driving tangible results, this is your opportunity to make a significant impact.

• Data Visualization & Insights: Recommend and utilize visualization tools to deliver actionable insights and uncover trends across datasets. Communicate findings and project value effectively to stakeholders.
• Team Leadership & Mentorship: Lead data engineering teams, mentoring junior engineers, and championing best practices in software engineering, compliance, and cost-effective data management.

Required Qualifications:

• Technical Expertise: Proven experience in large-scale data management, including data lake and warehouse architectures, automation, access control, and segregation of data for security and compliance.
• Programming Skills: Demonstrated proficiency in Python, Java, or Go and experience with big data processing frameworks like Hadoop, Spark, and Kafka is required.
