Here's a summary of what the job entails:
As a Data Engineer, your role focuses on the operational excellence of our Data & Analytics Platform.

You will work closely with the product teams, ensuring they have the tools and infrastructure needed to succeed.
To provide a clear insight into the team's responsibilities, we would like to divide them into 5 parts:

• Maintenance & Reliability:
• Ensure the Data & Analytics platform is highly available, performant, and secure.

• Optimize cloud resources and consumption for cost efficiency.
• Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines to ensure seamless deployments.
• Data Operations:
• Support data scientists, analysts, and users by managing data availability and flow within the broader architecture.
• Ensure new data flows align with the existing infrastructure and meet business requirements.

• Knowledge Sharing & Collaboration:
• Share expertise with the team and organization to foster a culture of learning and continuous improvement.

Because we need,
a specialist with a can-do mentality and a passion for data. Someone who takes ownership of the various parts of the platform at operational level, but with an eye for the broader picture.

Does this sound like you? Then please read on carefully, because it only gets better!

• Experience with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub, Azure DevOps) and deploying secure, scalable applications.
• Expertise in Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform).
• Solid understanding of distributed systems, containerization (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes), and orchestration tools.
