Data Engineer

Advertising, subscriptions and transaction fees each bring in a significant share of revenue. Traffic during holiday peaks can reach ten times normal levels, and the platform is built for it. We started in 1996 and have grown to about 109,600 people.

The position

We are adding a Data Engineer to our Finance Data team. This hire will help replace a set of fragile nightly scripts with tested, monitored pipelines. Our headquarters is in Madrid, and about a third of the team works remotely from other countries. This is a full-time remote role. We use an employer of record in Sri Lanka, so you get a proper employment contract, not a freelance agreement. Working hours overlap with Central European Time. You will need a stable internet connection and a backup power source (UPS or inverter).

Responsibilities

• Ingest data from APIs, SaaS tools and databases with Fivetran, Airbyte or custom Python
• Maintain CI for data code and review pull requests
• Write data quality tests with dbt or Great Expectations and alert on failures
• Document datasets and lineage in a catalogue such as DataHub or Atlan
• Design table layouts and partitioning for Parquet, Delta Lake or Iceberg

Qualifications

• 2-4 years of data engineering, or backend work with data at volume
• Strong Python for data processing
• Expert SQL, including window functions and query tuning
• Patience with messy source data and the habit of documenting assumptions
• Familiarity with Git, CI/CD and testing practices for data code

Preferred qualifications

• Kafka, Flink or Spark Structured Streaming
• Terraform for data infrastructure
• Background in finance or marketing data

Perks and benefits

• Two weeks of paid leave at year end
• Annual salary review
• Co-working space stipend
• Monthly internet allowance
• Annual learning budget
