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

- Data Pipeline Development: Design, build, and maintain reliable, scalable ETL/ELT workflows that process batch and streaming data from diverse sources.

- Data Warehousing & Modeling: Design efficient, production-ready schemas (normalized and denormalized) in Snowflake to optimize query performance and enable enterprise analytics.

- API & Event Integration: Connect and ingest data from third-party REST APIs, event-driven streams, and batch sources into core data storage platforms.

- Orchestration: Maintain and expand workflow orchestration pipelines using modern tools (Airflow, Prefect, or Dagster).

- Data Quality & Observability: Implement automated testing, validation, lineage tracking, and proactive alerting frameworks to guarantee data accuracy and system uptime.

- DataOps & Engineering Standards: Drive CI/CD best practices, maintain code bases using Git and Docker, and adopt basic Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) patterns.

- Code Excellence: Apply modern software engineering standards—including design patterns, automated unit/integration testing, and clear documentation—to data repositories.

MUST HAVES

- 4+ years of experience as a Data Engineer .

- Core Python Fundamentals : Demonstrable expertise writing modular, maintainable, and well-tested Python code (OOP/functional patterns, package management, standard testing frameworks).

- Advanced SQL & Modeling : Deep knowledge of complex SQL queries, query optimization, database design principles, and normalization/denormalization patterns.

- Data Warehousing : Solid, hands-on experience building, managing, and optimizing data architectures within Snowflake.

- Workflow Orchestration : Production experience using workflow orchestration engines like Apache Airflow, Prefect, or Dagster.

- Integrations & Ingestion : Hands-on experience working with REST APIs, event-driven architectures, and both batch and streaming pipelines.

- Data Quality & Lineage : Experience building automated data quality checks, data lineage, and alerting mechanisms (e.g., using tools like dbt test, Great Expectations, or similar).

- DevOps / DataOps Practices : Strong skills in version control (Git), containerization (Docker), CI/CD automation, and familiarity with Infrastructure-as-Code basics.

- Upper-intermediate English level.

NICE TO HAVES

- Experience with dbt (data build tool) for data transformations.

- Familiarity with major cloud providers (AWS, GCP, or Azure).

- Exposure to message streaming tech like Apache Kafka or AWS Kinesis.
