Data Engineer

We are looking for a Data Engineer to design, develop and maintain data pipelines and models. The salary for this position is €62,000 annually. You can work from anywhere in the world as long as your main location is between UTC-4 and UTC+8:00.

About the team

We are a global team of 130+ working from over 40 countries around the globe. We hire globally, you work locally — in the heart of London, a beach outside of Rio de Janeiro, or a quiet village near Florence, the choice is yours. Every few months we travel to meet up somewhere in the world and spend some quality time together. We place a huge amount of trust in our people, and we measure the outcomes rather than the work itself. Our values fuel our results.

The role

We are seeking a talented and experienced Data Engineer to join our growing team. As a Data Engineer, you will be responsible for designing, developing and maintaining data pipelines and models. You will work closely with the analytics team and business stakeholders to design and develop end-to-end data solutions while balancing business requirements, cost, security, and performance. You will be responsible for producing well-tested and documented data models on top of a data warehouse.

Your main responsibilities include:

• Design, develop, maintain and troubleshoot data pipelines. We use open-source Airbyte, Prefect and dbt on top of BigQuery.
• Ensure quality of data sources by writing tests, debugging data inaccuracies and inconsistencies.
• Collaborate with business stakeholders and the analytics team to design and develop end-to-end data solutions — while balancing business requirements, cost, security, and performance.
• Participate in code reviews to promote a high standard of work across the team.
• Develop our internal tools, processes, and workflows to help us deliver more efficiently to business stakeholders.

• Has 2+ years of experience in data engineering or a similar role, and has set up or run the infrastructure needed to orchestrate data pipelines

• Is proficient in an object-oriented programming language
• Prides themselves on writing performant, easy-to-read SQL

• Is detail-oriented and has a mature attitude to documentation, security, and process — all of which are important and inform everything we do.
• Worked in a SaaS, product or e-commerce company before.
• Fluent in English, both written and spoken. You prefer to over- vs under-communicate. You like transparency, openness, and asking questions.
