In this role you will:

• Design, build, and maintain robust data pipelines and data lake architecture for both batch and real-time streaming use cases, including high-volume, low-latency data processing

• Build and support event-driven architectures and scalable platform components
• Contribute to the orchestration and automation of workflows
• Integrate complex financial APIs and third-party data sources into internal systems
• Collaborate with analytics, product, and ML engineers to develop and deploy reliable data products
• Work on feature pipelines and model-ready data to support ML engineers
• Promote high standards in code quality, testing, and platform reliability
• Participate in Agile ceremonies and foster a collaborative, growth-oriented team culture

What you'll need:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
• 5+ years of experience in data engineering, platform engineering, or backend development
• Strong skills in SQL and Python for building and testing data solutions
• Hands-on experience with GCP and GCP data products (BigQuery, Cloud SQL, Cloud Storage, etc.)
• Experience with AWS cloud services (S3, Glue, Athena, Kinesis) in addition to GCP; bonus for EMR
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and version-controlled deployment workflows (e.g., Terraform, GitOps)
• Hands-on dbt experience building and maintaining dbt projects (models, tests, macros, documentation, CI)
• Proficiency with workflow orchestration tools (e.g., Airflow, Prefect)
• Knowledge of data lake architecture, including file formats (Parquet, Avro) and open table formats (Apache Iceberg)
• Familiarity with event-driven and service-oriented architecture
• A track record of building automated, well-tested, and observable data systems
• Comfortable working both independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced Agile environment

Bonus points for:

• Hands-on Kubernetes experience, especially around data workloads and containerized pipelines
• Experience with streaming technologies (e.g., Kafka, Spark Streaming, Flink) and comfort working with high-volume, low-latency data flows
• Experience with change data capture tools (e.g., Debezium, Kafka Connect) and real-time data integration patterns
• Experience with BI tools like Looker Studio or QuickSight
• Experience with observability and monitoring tooling (e.g., Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus)
• Background in fintech, trading, or derivatives
