## The Role

As a Senior Data Engineer, you will drive the end-to-end development of our core data infrastructure through AI-native engineering. Championing our AI DevEx approach, you will orchestrate AI agents to rapidly build, scale, and refactor high-performance systems. We are looking for a technical expert who takes hands-on ownership of distributed, real-time architectures. Leveraging your deep data engineering expertise, you will construct the robust pipelines that power our next-generation data products.

In your role, you will make an impact by….

- Developing and driving the architecture of complex data systems that prioritize scalability, reliability, and long-term maintainability.
- Designing and optimizing production-grade data pipelines, with a primary focus on high-throughput, real-time streaming.
- Driving Spec-Driven Development (SDD) using OpenSpec or GitHub Spec Kit to create strict engineering contracts that ensure predictable, high-quality AI code generation.
- Orchestrating agentic AI workflows with Claude Code and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to rapidly build, refactor, and scale our data infrastructure.
- Taking full accountability and ownership of system components, working in a self-sufficient manner to solve deep technical challenges.
- Implementing rigorous testing and monitoring frameworks to ensure the integrity of mission-critical data.
- Mentoring junior engineers and fostering a culture of technical excellence through open feedback and architectural reviews

You are a perfect fit, if you have…

- 10+ years of professional experience, with 5+ years specifically focused on Data Engineering.
- Deep technical expertise with Kafka (including Producers, Consumers, and Stream Processing) for building scalable, real-time architectures.
- Strong experience with OLAP databases (expertise in Clickhouse is highly preferred).
- Good fluency in Python and SQL for complex data manipulation, optimization, and system building.
- Willingness to embrace highly agentic AI-assisted development, specifically using Claude Code to autonomously navigate codebases, execute multi-step engineering tasks, and accelerate development cycles while maintaining high code quality.
- Strong hands-on experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and automated CI/CD pipelines.
- Significant experience with open-source tools and technologies within the modern data stack.
- Excellent communication skills and a desire to work in an environment based on transparency and feedback.
- Fluency in English

Ideally, you also have…….

- Previous experience or knowledge working with Redis or Elasticsearch.
- A proactive approach to architectural decision-making and a history of leading complex technical projects from conception to production.
- A collaborative mindset that values mentorship and the continuous improvement of engineering processes.
- Experience optimizing distributed system performance at significant scale.

And most importantly, what's in it for you...

- Global & Diverse Team: Work in a collaborative, multicultural environment.
- Flexibility: Flexible working hours to help you shape your own work-life balance.
- Remote-First: A truly remote-friendly environment.
- Growth: Ongoing career development, training, and coaching.
- Learning Time: Six dedicated days per year for learning and development.
