As a Senior Data Engineer at VGW, you will drive the evolution of our data products by collaborating with teams to design and maintain resilient, cloud-native pipelines that deliver scalable, high-impact insights.

What you should know about our Engineering team:

  • We make room to do things the right way
  • You own your projects: you build it, you ship it, you run it
  • We were born in the cloud: practices and principles like CI/CD, IaC, O11y and CyberSec are part of what we do

In terms of our tech stack, we host our docker containerised apps on AWS, sometimes in ECS but moving to EKS Kubernetes. In the containers, we run Kotlin on the JVM. TypeScript runs our client side where it’s mostly React. Our databases are PostgreSQL and DynamoDB with Snowflake as our Data warehouse.

What you will bring to the role:

  • Demonstrated expertise in building and operating cloud-native data platforms (AWS and Snowflake)
  • Demonstrated technical leadership, including coaching teams, defining standards and driving best practices
  • Deep proficiency in SQL, Python and data modelling 
  • Expertise in Infrastructure as Code and delivery pipelines (Terraform, GitHub Actions)
  • A track record of turning ambiguous problems into scalable, production-ready solutions
