Looking for a place where you, your skills, and your contribution are valued and recognized? Somewhere you can grow not just as a professional, but also as an individual? You've come to the right place. At IT Labs, we take care of our own - and we mean it. If you love to code, can easily prioritize and analyze work, and keep one eye on the bigger picture and business needs - then you're the Senior Data Engineer we're looking for.

Proficiency in infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD systems (such as Terraform, Troposphere, CloudFormation, Jenkins), along with experience in administering Microsoft SQL Server (especially in high-availability setups), is highly desirable for this position, as these are key aspects of the role.
You will spend around 50% of your time building and enhancing data lakes and data pipelines, and about 20% on defining and implementing DataOps methodologies. Additionally, 20% of your time will be dedicated to writing and optimizing queries and reports. Finally, you'll spend roughly 10% of your time supporting and monitoring existing databases.
