We’re Cashea 👋, and we’re on a mission to give Venezuelans back the opportunity to access credit through a BNPL business model. Since our launch in 2022, we’ve been dedicated to promoting financial inclusion. Today we have more than 9 million active users, both consumers and merchants, and we’ve become a trusted brand in Venezuela, winning hearts and minds 💛.\nAbout the roleWe’re looking for a Senior Data Engineer who owns the platform that turns raw operational data into trusted, analytics-ready data the whole company relies on. You’ll keep our orchestration and transformation layer scaling as we grow, with deep hands-on expertise across Cloud Composer (Airflow), dbt, and BigQuery on GCP, and you’ll be the person who makes good data engineering practice the norm across teams.\nWe run a medallion lakehouse on GCP: Datastream CDC pipelines replicate dozens of PostgreSQL databases into BigQuery bronze datasets, and dbt on BigQuery transforms them through bronze, silver, and gold layers. Orchestration runs on Cloud Composer / Airflow. This role is part deep building and part enablement: you’ll scale Airflow, harden the platform, optimize cost and performance, and leave every team more capable of shipping reliable data than it was before.\nOverall you will…\nOwn the health, performance, and scalability of our Cloud Composer (Airflow) environments, including environment sizing, worker autoscaling, DAG parse performance, and orchestration reliability across staging and production.\n\nDesign and extend our dbt on BigQuery transformation layer: incremental and CDC merge models, deduplication and SCD patterns, macros, tests, and source freshness across the bronze, silver, and gold layers.\n\nOwn our Datastream CDC pipelines feeding BigQuery, keeping the PostgreSQL to BigQuery flow healthy across schemas, backfills, and replication.\n\nBuild and improve our DataOps: CI/CD for DAGs and dbt with GitHub Actions and Workload Identity Federation, automated testing, deploy smoke tests, and safe promotion across environments.\n\nDrive data quality and observability, freshness checks, lineage, dbt-artifact capture, and alerting so issues surface before consumers notice them.\n\nDefine and champion data engineering standards for model design, incrementality, idempotency, and safe change processes, and mentor engineers through reviews, pairing, and documentation.\n\nPartner with platform, product, and analytics teams as the bridge that makes the data platform self-serve, working within our OpenTofu and Terragrunt Infrastructure-as-Code.\n\nQualifications\nBachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.\n\n5+ years in data engineering or a closely related role, building and operating production data platforms at scale.\n\nStrong hands-on experience with Apache Airflow (ideally Cloud Composer): DAG design, operators, scheduling, and scaling orchestration as pipeline counts grow.\n\nStrong hands-on experience with dbt, including incremental models, testing, macros, and managing a large model graph.\n\nSolid hands-on experience with BigQuery: data modeling, partitioning and clustering, query optimization, and cost control.\n\nSolid experience operating data services on Google Cloud Platform (GCP).\n\nProficiency in Python for pipeline and operator development, and strong SQL.\n\nComfort with Git-based workflows and CI/CD (GitHub Actions or similar), treating data pipelines with the same rigor as application code.\n\nStrong communication and stakeholder skills, with a genuine teaching mindset and the ability to mentor others.\n\nExcellent problem-solving and analytical thinking, with genuine curiosity about new technology.\n\nDesirable skills\nExperience with Datastream or other CDC tooling feeding analytics warehouses, including backfills and replication troubleshooting.\n\nFamiliarity with Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform or OpenTofu, ideally Terragrunt) for managing data resources.\n\nExperience with Dataplex or other data quality, governance, and lineage tooling, and with PII handling in a regulated context.\n\nFamiliarity with astronomer-cosmos for running dbt within Airflow.\n\nKnowledge of GCP data and messaging services such as Pub/Sub and Cloud Storage.\n\nA track record of cost and performance optimization in a data warehouse, including FinOps practices.\n\nExperience building in fintech, payments, or credit, where data correctness matters.\n\nSpanish and English proficiency.\n\nWhy you’ll love working at Cashea\nAt Cashea, we have a work culture based on trust and purpose. If you need a clue as to why we are a good choice, these are our core values:\n\nWe don’t work on autopilot. Everything we do is intentional. We love to develop ideas with full awareness of the impact they can have on our users.\n\nYour creativity and curiosity are our most important assets.\n\nYour voice matters. We listen and make space for ideas and feedback. Everyone belongs, and what’s important to you is important to us.\n\nWe value transparency. Clarity keeps us connected and grounded.\n\nLast but not least, we focus on real impact.\n\nIf you want to work with us, fill out the application. We’d love to meet you!\nOriginally posted on Himalayas","description_format":"text","description_chars":5186,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Argentina","iso":"AR","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Customs Brokerage"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-09T17:28:20Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":24,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":0.6,"p_active":0.719,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":37,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["seen:37","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-11-09T19:03:50Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/cashea-data-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/cashea-data-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-09T19:03:50Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4480,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-10T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4493823},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4493823"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcashea-data-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcashea-data-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcashea-data-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/cashea-data-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcashea-data-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3974915}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"cashea.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3974915},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
