ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a Senior Data Engineer to architect, build, and scale a modern data platform — designing production-grade ETL/ELT pipelines, optimizing Snowflake data warehouse schemas, and establishing robust DataOps practices.

You will orchestrate workflows using Airflow, Prefect, or Dagster, implement data quality and lineage frameworks, integrate third-party REST APIs and event-driven sources, and apply software engineering standards including CI/CD, Docker, and automated testing to data repositories.

The role prioritizes clean, well-tested Python code and a deep commitment to data reliability and accessibility.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

- Design, build, and maintain reliable, scalable ETL/ELT workflows that process batch and streaming data from diverse sources;

- Design production-ready normalized and denormalized schemas in Snowflake to optimize query performance and support enterprise analytics;

- Connect and ingest data from third-party REST APIs, event-driven streams, and batch sources into core data storage platforms;

- Maintain and expand workflow orchestration pipelines using Airflow, Prefect, or Dagster;

- Implement automated data testing, validation, lineage tracking,



and proactive alerting frameworks to ensure data accuracy and system uptime;

- Drive CI/CD best practices, maintain codebases using Git and Docker, and adopt Infrastructure-as-Code patterns;

- Apply modern software engineering standards, including design patterns, automated unit and integration testing, and clear documentation.

MUST HAVES

- 4+ years of experience as a Data Engineer;

- Strong proficiency in Python, including modular, maintainable, and well-tested code;

- Advanced knowledge of SQL, query optimization, database design principles, and normalization/denormalization patterns;

- Hands-on experience with Snowflake;

- Production experience with workflow orchestration tools such as Apache Airflow, Prefect, or Dagster;

- Experience working with REST APIs, event-driven architectures, and batch and streaming pipelines;

- Experience implementing automated data quality checks, data lineage, and alerting mechanisms;

- Strong experience with Git, Docker, CI/CD automation, and Infrastructure-as-Code fundamentals;

- Upper-intermediate English level.

NICE TO HAVES

- Experience with dbt for data transformations;

- Familiarity with major cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure;

- Experience with message streaming technologies such as Apache Kafka or AWS Kinesis.
