Job Summary

We are looking for a Senior Data Engineer to design, build, and operate modern data solutions that power our data products, analytics, integrations, reporting, and emerging AI capabilities.

This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who combines strong data engineering fundamentals with experience in modern cloud data platforms, APIs, integration patterns, and production-grade engineering practices.

You will work across technologies such as Databricks, Microsoft Fabric, Snowflake, and cloud-native services, depending on the needs of the solution. We value engineers who understand the underlying architecture and engineering principles rather than being tied to a single technology.

We are also looking for an AI-first engineer who actively uses AI-assisted development to improve how solutions are designed, developed, tested, documented, and supported while maintaining strong engineering quality and accountability.

Key ResponsibilitiesBuild Modern Data Solutions
  • Design, develop, and maintain scalable data pipelines supporting operational, analytical, reporting, and AI use cases.
  • Build batch, incremental, near-real-time, and event-driven data processing solutions.
  • Develop data ingestion, transformation, orchestration, and delivery workflows using modern cloud data platforms.
  • Design and implement data models optimized for performance, maintainability, and consumption.
  • Develop reusable engineering components and patterns rather than one-off solutions.
  • Optimize pipelines and data processing for reliability, scalability, performance, and cost.
  • Contribute to technical design discussions and architecture decisions.
Build Enterprise Data Integrations
  • Design and implement integrations across enterprise applications, data platforms, and third-party systems.
  • Develop reusable integration services and data-access capabilities.
  • Build secure REST and GraphQL APIs to expose data and platform capabilities.
  • Implement event-driven and asynchronous integration patterns where appropriate.
  • Integrate systems using APIs, connectors, messaging, events, and modern data-sharing techniques.
  • Apply appropriate authentication, authorization, versioning, monitoring, and API lifecycle practices.
Engineer for Quality & Reliability
  • Build automated data validation, reconciliation, and quality controls into pipelines and data products.
  • Implement appropriate unit, integration, and data testing as part of development.
  • Build monitoring and observability into pipelines, APIs, and integration services.
  • Troubleshoot complex production issues and perform root-cause analysis.
  • Implement preventive improvements rather than repeatedly addressing symptoms.
  • Continuously improve the reliability, resiliency, maintainability, and performance of production solutions.
Apply AI-First Engineering Practices
  • Use AI-assisted development throughout the engineering lifecycle, including design, coding, testing, documentation, troubleshooting, and optimization.
  • Apply appropriate technical review and validation to AI-generated code and engineering artifacts.
  • Practice spec-driven development by defining clear requirements, data contracts, API contracts, acceptance criteria, and test expectations before implementation.
  • Use AI to accelerate engineering delivery while maintaining security, maintainability, and quality.
  • Contribute to the development of data solutions supporting AI agents, RAG, semantic models, machine learning, and other AI-enabled applications.
  • Experiment with emerging engineering capabilities and share effective practices with the broader team.
Enable Secure & Governed Data
  • Implement data quality, lineage, metadata, security, and auditability requirements within data solutions.
  • Build data pipelines and integrations appropriate for sensitive and regulated data.
  • Follow established governance, risk, security, and compliance requirements.
  • Support secure and auditable processing of KYC, UCC, public-record, and other business data.
  • Maintain clear technical documentation for data flows, APIs, transformations, and operational processes.
  • Partner with architecture, security, governance, and platform teams to resolve technical and compliance requirements.
Operate What You Build
  • Take ownership of solutions through development, deployment, and production operation.
  • Monitor pipeline execution, API health, data quality, and platform performance.
  • Investigate incidents and integration failures and drive issues through resolution.
  • Participate in code reviews and continuously improve engineering practices.
  • Automate deployment, testing, configuration, and operational processes wherever practical.
  • Contribute to improving team standards based on lessons learned from production.
Collaborate & Contribute
  • Work closely with Lead Data Engineers, product teams, architects, analysts, AI teams, and business stakeholders.
  • Translate requirements into practical and scalable technical solutions.
  • Participate actively in architecture and technical design discussions.
  • Communicate technical decisions, dependencies, risks, and tradeoffs clearly.
  • Share knowledge and reusable solutions across the engineering team.
  • Support and mentor less-experienced engineers when appropriate.
  • Demonstrate ownership, curiosity, collaboration, and a continuous-learning mindset.
