Senior Data Engineer

About the Role:

We’re looking for a Senior Data Engineer to join our growing data team at Creative Fabrica. Data is a big deal here—it's at the core of how we grow, make decisions, and deliver amazing experiences to our users. We’re building the next-gen data platform that will support real-time analytics, personalized features, and help us make smarter, data-driven choices.

As part of the team, you’ll help design and roll out new modules for our data platform—think event management, real-time analytics, discoverability, and making sure our data quality stays top-notch.

What you will do:

• Develop key modules for the data platform, including event management, segmentation and personalization systems, data quality monitoring, observability tools, and data discoverability features.
• Build reliable, scalable data pipelines with a strong emphasis on data accuracy, freshness, and performance. Ensure data is timely and meets the SLAs defined with business
• Build integrations with our product platforms, third-party services, and external data sources to streamline data ingestion and facilitate reverse ETL workflows.
• Work closely with cross-functional teams, including product, analytics, and machine learning engineers, to understand their data needs and deliver solutions that empower them to perform at their best.
• Contribute to the long-term vision and architecture of the data stack, focusing on scalability, reliability, and maintainability to support the growing needs of the business.

What you will need:

• Experience building cloud-based data platforms (preferably on AWS), with the ability to manage high data volume and velocity.
• Hands-on experience using industry standards such as Hadoop, Spark, Flink, Presto or similar big data tools
• Strong system design skills, with a proven track record of making sound engineering decisions.
• Proficiency in Python, Scala, Java and/or SQL, with experience using dbt for data transformation and modeling.
• Experience with Kafka or other distributed event processing systems
• User-centric mindset in developing data platforms, with empathy for stakeholders and a genuine curiosity about their use cases.
• Strong communication skills, and ability to explain both the tech you build and the value you deliver to anyone in the company
• Continuous learning mindset, always staying up-to-date with the latest trends and technologies in data engineering.

Nice to have:

• Experience with data quality monitoring frameworks (e.g. Great Expectations, Soda, Montecarlo)
• Experience with real time analytics
• Experience with Infra as a code (e.g. Terraform)
