What we're looking for

More than 4 years of experience building, operating and evolving enterprise software solutions in complex environments as part of a team, with a strong software engineering background and hands-on development experience.
Solid experience with AWS cloud services and administration, advanced programming skills in Python, SQL and Java, and openness to coding in any language.
Experience designing and implementing event-driven and distributed architectures, together with knowledge of DevOps, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, software quality and AI-assisted software development.
A proactive, hands-on and results-oriented approach with strong ownership, accountability, business orientation and communication skills. Fluency in English and experience collaborating with Product Owners and business stakeholders in Agile product teams are essential.
Experience designing scalable, secure and maintainable platforms is desirable, as is knowledge of Snowflake, Azure, Microsoft Fabric, data modelling, analytics platforms, microservices and integration patterns. A data engineering background with dbt, Airflow, AWS Glue, serverless services and ELT/ETL pipelines is also valued.

You will be responsible for building, operating and evolving software within a cloud-based Data & Analytics Platform team. You will take ownership of outcomes and turn ideas into delivered value while collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, Product Owners and business stakeholders. You will navigate ambiguity and changing priorities, share knowledge and contribute to continuous improvements in products, processes and engineering practices

Pay & benefits

What you'll get

We will discuss it during the first call. If it is important to you, feel free to ask! 💬

The role

Can you turn complex challenges into valuable cloud software for a Data & Analytics Platform? ☁️💻🧪❤️

Join our expert team to work on a cloud-based Data & Analytics Platform, contributing to the development and evolution of enterprise software solutions.
You will apply your knowledge of AWS and Python, alongside SQL and Java, to build and operate software using modern distributed architectures.

How do we make this happen? 🤔

With people. Besides your team and manager, you will have several support figures like a godparent, who will help you with the practical and administrative aspects of daily life during your first 6 months.

And the second most important person after you, your mentor, who will guide you through your entire onboarding and career at ERNI. You will have regular 1:1 meetings with them, and recurrently, you will work on your development plan to define your short-, medium-, and long-term goals.

At ERNI, we highly value experience and technical knowledge. As a senior profile, you will have the space to continue growing, whether by deepening your technical skills or having greater influence on project decisions, with autonomy and the opportunity to share knowledge with other experts.
And if you are interested in mentoring, there is also space for that: supporting other ERNIans while still focusing on the technical excellence that sets us apart.

What if the project ends?😅

We work on a wide variety of projects, technologies, and sectors, allowing you to keep growing in different environments. If a project ends or you feel ready for a new challenge, we will find another one that aligns with your professional development.

Our working model 👩🔬

We ask you to be available for key meetings. Need to leave for a doctor's appointment or to pick up your child from school? No problem. We trust you to deliver quality work within your 40-hour workweek.

Our model is hybrid: we usually go to the office 2 days a week, though this depends on the project and team, but we love seeing each other's faces; the best stories always happen in the office!
