Job Description

Your Role

As a data engineer, you are fundamental in ensuring the accessibility and dependability of our data infrastructure. You build, monitor, and manage the entire data ecosystem, including pipelines, databases, and more. Automation is an essential part of your work, as you are tasked with automating our data infrastructure's deployment, making processes more efficient and scalable.

Beyond infrastructure, you also assist in converting client and product needs into functional designs for data systems and environments. You translate these requirements into practical solutions, ensuring that data systems align with the project's unique demands.

Cooperation is crucial, as you'll guide the technical aspects of a project alongside the tech team and developers. Your expertise is key in making data-driven decisions and ensuring data is effectively utilized to drive success in projects and products.
