We’re looking for a Senior Software Developer (Data) with strong leadership capabilities and the ability to drive innovation in a greenfield space. This isn’t your typical platform maintenance role — we’re building entirely new applications and pipelines, so we need someone who can operate autonomously, challenge the status quo, and prototype and build beyond existing tools or stacks.

As part of our forward-thinking Data Engineering team, you’ll be at the forefront of developing data-powered solutions and self-service capabilities that power business-critical applications across Data, AI and Marketing domains You’ll collaborate with product owners, architects, and engineers across disciplines to shape our future-facing data capabilities — including those that don’t yet exist.

We’re seeking someone who combines deep Python expertise, strong software development principles, and modern data architecture know-how – preferably with some experience in web application development – along with the confidence and clarity to lead technical decisions in ambiguous or early-stage environments.

So, what will you be doing?

  • Leading the design and development of new data applications from scratch — with minimal constraints on tools or tech stack.
  • Expanding the self-service capabilities of the platform by developing user-facing applications.
  • Building and optimizing scalable batch and streaming data pipelines using modern data frameworks and software engineering best practices.
  • Creating prototypes and PoCs to validate ideas and guide product and architectural decisions.
  • Applying solid software engineering fundamentals (modularity, reusability, TDD, CI/CD) to data-centric problems.
  • Working closely with data architects, machine learning engineers, and stakeholders to design elegant and scalable data solutions.
  • Driving technical discussions, mentor engineers, and help shape long-term data strategy.
  • Taking ownership of data reliability, pipeline observability, and performance optimization.

And what are we looking for? 

Advanced Python Engineering Skills:

  • Deep experience building data services and tools in Python (not just scripts).
  • Strong knowledge of Python design patterns, modular architecture, dependency injection, and packaging best practices.
  • Familiarity with Python based web framworks, FastAPI, or similar frameworks is a plus.

Data Pipeline Development & Architecture:

  • Expertise in building resilient, maintainable batch and real-time data pipelines.
  • Proven experience with tools like Apache Spark, Apache Beam, or Airflow.
  • Experience working with streaming technologies (Kafka, Pulsar, Flink, or similar).

Cloud & Data Infrastructure:

  • Experience deploying and scaling solutions in cloud environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
  • Solid understanding of data lakehouse architecture, Delta Lake, Parquet, and partitioning strategies.

Software Engineering & Leadership:

  • Strong understanding of software development lifecycles, TDDCI/CD, and version control (Git).
  • Demonstrated ability to lead technical decisions, influence design patterns, and drive engineering excellence.
  • Ability to prototype new solutions and evaluate trade-offs before committing to an implementation path.

Nice to Have:

  • Prior experience in building Web applications using React, Node.js or something similar
  • Hands-on experience with the Databricks ecosystem.
  • Familiarity with data governance, access controls, and lineage tooling in modern stacks (Unity Catalog, Iceberg, etc.).
  • Infrastructure-as-code experience (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation).
  • Monitoring, alerting, and observability tooling for data pipelines (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog).
