• Ensure smooth operation of data systems for analysts, scientists, and engineers.
• Optimize data pipelines (ingestion, processing, and output) in a microservices environment.
• Build, maintain, and monitor ETL/ELT processes .
• Troubleshoot and improve the performance, scalability, and reliability of the data infrastructure (S3, Apache Iceberg, ClickHouse).
• Collaborate cross-functionally with data scientists, analysts, and backend engineers to understand data needs and deliver solutions.
• Implement and champion data quality, governance, and security best practices across the platform.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience as a Data Engineer or in a similar data infrastructure role.
