Your responsibilities will include:

  • Power AI initiatives: Lay solid data engineering foundations that enable AI data products that are used by all stakeholders across the company.

  • Design and maintain data pipelines: Build robust processes to ingest data from multiple sources (internal systems, APIs, external tools) and orchestrate them efficiently.

  • Unlock scalable data modeling: Support Data Analysts by improving dbt project organization, factorizing jobs, and ensuring quality and scalability of transformations across the stack.

  • Ensure data quality & observability: Implement monitoring, testing, and alerting systems to ensure the freshness, reliability, and accuracy of data across the company.

  • Manage data access & governance: Define and enforce access control policies (e.g., in Snowflake, Metabase) to ensure data is secure, well-permissioned, and compliant.

  • Implement documentation & knowledge sharing: Ensure models, pipelines, and workflows are well-documented to support onboarding, collaboration, and long-term autonomy of the team.

  • Tackle exciting challenges ahead: Support new market launches, manage growing data volumes, and help centralize pipelines within an orchestration tool.

👀 Who We're Looking For

  • Track record: You have led the implementation or scaling of a modern data stack (e.g., Airflow, dbt, BigQuery/Snowflake, event streaming, etc.) in a startup or scale-up environment.

  • Technical skills: Proficient in SQL and Python. Solid hands-on experience with orchestration tools (Airflow or similar) and cloud environments (Snowflake, GCP, AWS).

  • Architectural thinking: Strong understanding of data modeling, warehousing principles, and performance optimization techniques.

  • Interest in AI: You are genuinely curious about AI and its applications. You use AI in your daily work and you are interested in applications related to the data field.

  • Mindset: Pragmatic, curious, and proactive. You value clean architecture, documentation, and continuous improvement.

  • Collaboration: Able to clearly communicate with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

  • Languages: Fluent in English, both written and spoken.
