# Senior Data Engineer

As a Senior Data Engineer, you will build the pipelines and models the rest of DZ will run on. DZ operates across several verticals and markets: digital goods, ticketing, travel and trading, in Iraq, the UAE and KSA. Each has grown its own reporting and its own version of the numbers. As one of the first engineers in the new data team, you will own core parts of the data platform end to end, from ingestion off operational systems and third parties through to the modeled tables that finance, commercial and product use to make decisions, and the path that takes data science models from notebook to production. This role is about making data correct, fresh and trusted by default, so the answer stops depending on who pulled it. What you'll do Design, build and own production pipelines end to end, batch and streaming: ingestion from DZ's services (Postgres/Aurora, event streams) and third-party providers, with idempotent loads and backfills that are safe to rerun. Model data for the warehouse and the semantic layer, turning agreed metric definitions into tested, documented models that give the same answer every time. Treat data quality as part of the job, not a cleanup: tests, freshness
