Your mission will be to help evolve our Data Platform as a Product, enabling software engineers, analysts, data scientists, and business teams to leverage data across its lifecycle - from ingestion to discovery - while ensuring security, governance, and reliability are built into the platform by default. The goal is to empower teams across the company to access trusted data and make better, data-driven decisions. This role goes beyond building pipelines. You'll designthe guardrails, abstractions, and platform capabilitiesthat make it easy for other teams to build and scale their own data products safely and efficiently. You'll work in acloud-native environment on AWS, where Infrastructure as Code, observability, and automation are fundamental engineering principles. What challenges you'll be solving Design and evolve theself-service Data Platform, enabling engineering and business teams to build and manage their own data products autonomouslyIdentify friction points for internal data consumers andbuild platform capabilities that improve developer experienceDesign and maintain a"Golden Path" for data pipelines, enabling teams to deploy new pipelines in minutes instead of weeksEmbeddata governance, observability, lineage, and access controldirectly into platform capabilitiesImprove thereliability, performance, and cost efficiencyof our data infrastructureLead architectural discussions and mentor engineers ondistributed systems and platform designEvangelize the platform internally to drive adoption across teamsAbout the Data team Team mission To build and evolve aself-service data platformthat empowers engineering teams, analysts, and data scientists to build, discover, and scale their own data initiatives withbuilt-in governance, observability, and minimal friction.

observability stack, with the goal of identifying and fixing a developer experience pain point. Month 2:You'll start contributing to the long-term platform roadmap. You'll help define standardized ingestion patterns that move us away from bespoke pipelines and toward reusable, scalable platform capabilities. Your goal will be to reduce "Time-to-Data" for one of our key business domains. Month 3:You'll lead a strategic platform initiative from design to deployment, such as evolving our data discovery layer or improving automated change detection. During se Qura Week (when the whole company gathers at our Barcelona HQ), you'll present your work to the engineering organization, showing how the evolution of the data platform directly enables faster and better business decision-making. By this point, you'll have delivered a platform component that allows a non-data team to independently deploy a data producer or consumer. Tech stack & environment️ Our data platform runs onAWSwith Kubernetes (EKS) and everything managed viaTerraformandHelm. CI/CD is handled with Git Hub Actions and Jenkins. We ingest data from multiple sources usingAirbyte, store it in S3 and Redshift, transform it withdbt, and orchestrate pipelines withAirflow. For governance and discovery, we useOpen Metadata, while analytics are delivered throughMetabase. Observability is implemented withPrometheus, Grafana, Thanos, Elastic, and Tempo, and our infrastructure and automation scripts are mainly written inPython, Terraform, and Helm.What we are looking for: Must have: 7+ years of experience inData Engineering, Data Platform Engineering, or Infrastructure EngineeringStrong experience building and maintainingdata platforms or distributed systemsExperience withAWS cloud environmentsSolid experience withKubernetes and containerized infrastructureStrong experience withInfrastructure as Code (Terraform, Helm)Experience implementingobservability, monitoring, logging, and alerting systemsStrong engineering rigor: version control, testing, modular design, and documentationHigh autonomy, ownership, and ability to drive technical decisionsProficiency in English for daily communication, documentation, and technical discussionsExperience working with AI augmentation tools for daily and engineering tasks.Nice to have: Experience implementingdata observability frameworks(Elementary, Great Expectations, etc.)Experience implementingChange Data Capture (CDC)pipelinesExperience withAirflow or other DAG orchestration toolsExperience buildingself-service platforms for data teamsFamiliarity with modern data lake formats such asApache IcebergWhat we offer We have a strong and sustainable foundation, where we provide a secure and reliable workplace.
