Job description

Overview

VTG is seeking a talented and experienced Senior Data Engineer to serve as an integrator between business needs and technical solutions. Must be able to work creatively and efficiently to solve difficult technical problems.

In this dynamic role, you will not only support the team in conditioning financial data but also play a key role in the adoption of modern data engineering practices. Your contributions will directly impact the efficiency and effectiveness of data processing, setting the stage for advanced data analysis and decision-making. The ideal candidate will bring a proven track record of building and implementing ETL processes, with a keen eye for optimizing data for various enterprise applications.

  • Your success in this position will be bolstered by your ability to work independently as well as collaboratively with a team of technical experts, data managers, and operational stakeholders. Experience with Amazon Web Services (AWS) will be crucial as you deploy scalable solutions in a cloud environment. While not mandatory, a background in Kubernetes will give you an edge, as will any experience with financial data and language translation models.
