• Implement and maintain scalable solutions aligned with Data Lakehouse architecture and modern data engineering best practices.
• Use SQL and Python to develop robust data workflows, automation scripts, and transformation logic.
• Understand data models (conceptual, logical, and physical) and implement them as solutions.
• Develop and manage YAML-based configurations for pipeline metadata, orchestration, and schema definitions.
• Ensure end-to-end data quality, validation, lineage, security, availability, and performance across data assets.
• Collaborate closely with system analysts, data analysts, product teams, and software engineers to understand requirements and deliver dependable data solutions.
• Apply data product thinking when designing datasets and interfaces to support self-service analytics and reusable data assets.

• Monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize data pipelines in production environments.

What Makes You a Great Fit:

• 3–5 years of experience as a Data Engineer or similar role
• Strong experience with AWS data stack: S3, EMR, Glue data catalog, Kafka, Athena, IAM and orchestration tools like MWAA
• Strong programming experience with Python, including writing clean, maintainable scripts
• Expertise in SQL and performance optimization
• Strong understanding of Data Lakehouse, ETL/ELT architectures, and distributed data processing
• Practical experience in data modeling and industry‑standard modeling techniques
• Proficiency with YAML for configuration and pipeline metadata management
• Strong communication and documentation skills
• Detail‑oriented with a strong commitment to high-quality, reliable data delivery
• Payments industry experience and BIAN exposure are a plus
• Fluent English is required in spoken and written communication due to working on the Pan-Baltic level

Preferred Qualifications

• Knowledge of CI/CD practices for data pipelines
• Understanding of data governance and cataloging best practices

Why You Will Love Working Here:
