This role is for a data engineer who can walk into a platform someone else built, work out what is actually wrong with it, and decide what to fix first.\nYou'll join a small, senior Data & Analytics team at a real estate investment firm that has built a sophisticated data platform on Snowflake, pulling together 40+ data sources. Your job is to stabilize the environment, make reporting reliable, and automate the manual work, so that people can focus on the investment and operating decisions that matter.\nYour work will support three areas of the business:\n\nTransactions: buy/sell decisions, commercial leasing, and valuation\n\nReporting and source of truth: benchmarks, fund and asset performance, and management reporting\n\nDay-to-day decision making: giving teams faster, better access to the information they need to run the business\n\nYou'll work directly with the client's technical and business teams, assess whether the platform is as strong as it looks, and raise the standard around you through code review, documentation, and the willingness to push back when something isn't right.\nWhat we’re looking forDepth in data engineering is the starting point. Beyond that we’re looking at judgment: knowing which problem to solve first in an environment with a lot of moving parts, and being able to explain that choice to people who aren’t engineers. We also pay attention to how AI shows up in the way you work.\nYou must bring:\n5+ years in data engineering, with real ownership of a production platform rather than contributing to someone else’s\n\nHands-on Snowflake: warehouse sizing and cost management, MERGE patterns, streams and tasks, clustering\n\nExperience diagnosing and fixing pipelines you didn’t write: slow queries, unexplained cost, silent data quality failures\n\nExperience designing, implementing, and maintaining ETL/ELT pipelines and data integration across many sources\n\nStrong data modeling: stating and enforcing grain, clean layering from raw through staging to marts, handling corrections and late-arriving data\n\nAdvanced SQL, including window functions and query performance work\n\nExperience with a transformation framework (dbt or equivalent) and an orchestrator (Airflow, Dagster, or similar)\n\nA working relationship with AI that shows up in how you build, not just in the tools you’ve tried\n\nComfort owning work end to end: from design through deployment and support\n\nA quality mindset: clean code, good documentation, thoughtful testing, and attention to data quality and lineage\n\nStrong English communication, async collaboration skills, and a proactive approach to problems\n\nThe ability to understand the business behind the data, not just the ticket in front of you\n\nBonus points for asset management or commercial real estate experience, familiarity with systems such as Yardi, MRI, RealPage, Argus, VTS, or CoStar, building analytics-ready models for BI tools (Power BI in particular), AWS Glue or EMR alongside Snowflake, exposure to workflow automation tools (Power Automate, UiPath), and a track record of mentoring other engineers.\nWhy You'll Love Working HereReal impact. You'll work on meaningful products that make a measurable difference.\nAn outstanding team. Talented, kind, hard working people who care about their craft and about each other. No egos. No politics.\nGrowth. You'll be supported in growing your craft, exploring new paths, and stepping into greater responsibility, at your own pace.\nA culture of excellence. We care about doing the right thing for our clients, our team, and ourselves. No burnout. No crunch. Just high quality work, delivered sustainably.\nVariety and stability. We're profitable, independent, and over two decades strong. Yet every project brings a fresh challenge. You'll never be bored here.\nThis Role Might Not Be for YouWe want to respect your time by being clear about what this role isn't. You should skip this opportunity if:\n\nYou prefer well defined structure. If you gravitate toward a clear hierarchy and well defined roles and swim lanes, you may find our self-managed style challenging.\n\nDistributed work isn't your thing. If you find async communication, design documentation, and being proactive without a manager nearby difficult, our setup won't suit you.\n\nInheriting an existing environment doesn't appeal. This role starts by stabilizing and improving a platform someone else built, with a lot of moving parts. If you only want greenfield projects, you'll find it frustrating.\n\nFeedback doesn't excite you. We're obsessed with quality and believe in continuous improvement. That means feedback that's sometimes nitpicky. If refining work until it's excellent feels over the top, this won't be a fit.\n\nChange makes you uncomfortable. Priorities shift and processes evolve. If ambiguity is uncomfortable, this may feel bumpy.\n\nHowever, if this sounds like fuel, we'd love to talk.\nHow to Apply and What to Expect in the Interview Process\nYour work. Show us the work that reflects you at your best. We'll look at depth, the quality of your thinking, and the logic behind your choices.\n\nLateral team fit. You'll speak with our Talent team about your career direction, your motivators, and our plans ahead.\n\nWork trial. You'll tackle a take-home challenge that mirrors what we actually do.\n\nEngineering deep dive. A collaborative session with our engineers.\n\nProject fit. An interview focused on prioritisation, collaboration across disciplines, and how you handle the messy middle.\n\nOriginally posted on Himalayas","description_format":"text","description_chars":5652,"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"},{"name":"Brazil","iso":"BR","kind":"country"},{"name":"Mexico","iso":"MX","kind":"country"},{"name":"Bolivia","iso":"BO","kind":"country"},{"name":"Chile","iso":"CL","kind":"country"},{"name":"Costa Rica","iso":"CR","kind":"country"},{"name":"Paraguay","iso":"PY","kind":"country"},{"name":"Peru","iso":"PE","kind":"country"},{"name":"Uruguay","iso":"UY","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Design & Creative","Industrial Design","Logistics"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-07T02:28:15Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["seen:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-07T05:47:08Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/lateral-senior-data-engineer-latam","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/lateral-senior-data-engineer-latam.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-07T22:12:24Z","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":36392,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-08T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"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":4401357},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4401357"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Flateral-senior-data-engineer-latam"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"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%2Flateral-senior-data-engineer-latam"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"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%2Flateral-senior-data-engineer-latam"},{"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/lateral-senior-data-engineer-latam\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Flateral-senior-data-engineer-latam"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3905178}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"lateralgroup.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3905178},"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.
