As a Data Engineer, you will own and scale our data infrastructure, working closely with Data Analysts, Product Managers, and Engineers to build a reliable, secure, and high-performing data platform. This is a high-impact role with significant autonomy as we invest seriously in data engineering.
Your responsibilities will include:
Scale our data infrastructure: Lead the evolution of our stack to make it more scalable, reliable, and cost-efficient. Anticipate growth in data volume and complexity, and design systems with performance in mind.
Power AI initiatives: Lay solid data engineering foundations that enable AI data products that are used by all stakeholders across the company.
Design and maintain data pipelines: Build robust processes to ingest data from multiple sources (internal systems, APIs, external tools) and orchestrate them efficiently.
Unlock scalable data modeling: Support Data Analysts by improving dbt project organization, factorizing jobs, and ensuring quality and scalability of transformations across the stack.
Ensure data quality & observability: Implement monitoring, testing, and alerting systems to ensure the freshness, reliability, and accuracy of data across the company.
Manage data access & governance: Define and enforce access control policies (e.g., in Snowflake, Metabase) to ensure data is secure, well-permissioned, and compliant.
Implement documentation & knowledge sharing: Ensure models, pipelines, and workflows are well-documented to support onboarding, collaboration, and long-term autonomy of the team.
Tackle exciting challenges ahead: Support new market launches, manage growing data volumes, and help centralize pipelines within an orchestration tool.

Technical skills: Proficient in SQL and Python. Solid hands-on experience with orchestration tools (Airflow or similar) and cloud environments (Snowflake, GCP, AWS).
Architectural thinking: Strong understanding of data modeling, warehousing principles, and performance optimization techniques.
Interest in AI: You are genuinely curious about AI and its applications. You use AI in your daily work and you are interested in applications related to the data field.
Mindset: Pragmatic, curious, and proactive. You value clean architecture, documentation, and continuous improvement.
Collaboration: Able to clearly communicate with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
