As a Senior Backend / Data Engineer (Python/Django), you will join a senior engineering team working on a greenfield data platform. You will be involved in building the solution end-to-end, combining strong backend engineering with data ingestion and data processing.

The project involves integrating data from multiple file-based and API sources into a modern cloud data warehouse, with a strong focus on data quality, reliability, scalability, and production readiness. We are also looking for talented engineers to join other exciting data projects, including:

• Development and maintenance of a large platform for processing automotive data. A significant amount of data is processed in both streaming and batch modes. The technology stack includes Spark, Cloudera, Airflow, Iceberg, Python, and AWS.

• Design and development of a universal data platform for global aerospace companies. This Azure and Databricks powered initiative combines diverse enterprise and public data sources. The data platform is at the early stages of the development, covering design of architecture and processes as well as giving freedom for technology selection.

• Centralized reporting platform for a growing US telecommunications company. This project involves implementing BigQuery and Looker as the central platform for data reporting. It focuses on centralizing data, integrating various CRMs, and building executive reporting solutions to support decision-making and business growth.

🚀 Your main responsibilities:

• Design and develop scalable data ingestion pipelines for file-based and API data sources using Python.

• Build and maintain backend components responsible for data processing, validation, and integration.

• Design and develop REST APIs using Python and Django.

• Implement robust data quality, validation, and error-handling mechanisms.

• Design and maintain data models and work with modern cloud data platforms and warehouses.

• Develop and maintain automated data-quality tests.

• Work with cloud services and workflow orchestration tools such as Airflow.

• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines and application environment configuration.

• Ensure solutions are reliable, maintainable, scalable, and production-ready.

• Write and maintain technical documentation and operational runbooks.

• Collaborate with engineers and stakeholders to translate business and technical requirements into effective solutions.

• Use AI-assisted development tools and workflows as part of day-to-day software delivery.
